Whether to pursue ca or not

13 April 2014

Hello!I am a science student and i have completed my 12th and have done well in my board exam and I am even confident in getting selected in well reputed engineering college but i want to pursue CA course. I want to ask how was your personal experience while studying for CA.Will it be difficult to cope up at the beginning as i have no commerce background and what do you guys recommend me to do.

Hey Praveen..If therez a will..therez always a way..If you really by heart want to do CA..Then go for it yaara

Even I am a science student..and right now m on verge of becoming CA..Juz 3 more papers of final left and vll be apperaring in the forthcoming exams..So there is nothing like "Sci. stream student cannot do CA"

Undoubtedly..it would be tough in starting..but join classes of Accounts and stats of 12th std. and have friends who can help you on your smallest doubt without making mockery of you (orelse your morale would go down). Put a bit of extra efforts..and there you will be CA by few couple of years..but most imp. you should be sure of doing CA..orelse you will spoil both CA as well as engg.

And baaki we all are here to help you and guide you..many experts are also there and all here are fantastic and always ready to help (personal experience)..so dont worry..ALL The Best !!

There are some things which are expected from the individual at certain age only... Once u entered into CA,the basic requirement of this field needs u to be disciplined, focused,not so masti as compared to College going crowd. Its core teaching methodology is to be Serious right from the start.. BE PROFESSIONAL attitude.. u will observed this once u entered into Office culture.. I'm a science student hence when I see my other engineering friends college life.. I get quite jealous feeling about it.. Ur just 19-20 & u r feeling IT returns at office for whole night.. I personally think College is biggest factor for ur personality grooming & having technical degree always hold u edge in every field.. U can later opt for MBA as someone suggested earlier

Even i was of same case..i was soo confused with this situation after my 12th. Ca was never my passion and moreover i am just an average student who had not got any seat in any engneering collages. But i just made up my mind and want to prove myself to the people who criticized me and today i ve cleared both cpt and ipcc in 1st attempt. This is just to tell u that ca is not soo difficult as iit or so called the only thing u need is an average hardwork with a good smartwork. So go on with ur decision to do ca but u can never have a collage life in ca. No gangs, no interactions. But u ll be paid for what u have worked.
