You can do CFA (international)...its a very good combination with CA. Its recognized all over the world almost and hence you can work abroad as well.
Many people do CS but i feel its completely different from CA. But its a good course and if u like studying law you can do CS too.
Or you can prepare for CAT and do MBA from a reputed college later on. There are many choices. Its best to tak to an elder person or a career counsellor so that you can identify your area of interest and pursue a degree in that line.
All the best.

Also please note that ICAI allows only 1 ADDITIONAL COURSE alongwith articleship. So whatever you decide to do please inform ICAI through Form 112. Dont take any risk or you will risk derecognition of your articleship period.

hi Seena........

after CA you can do CPA which will increase your exposure and Scope for a Good job in Finance , specially in Public sector.

CFA is a widely recognised degree in Private sector , which relates to investment banking & risk management.

cma is the new name for cwa! u can do cfa but for completing it u need minimum 4 yrs of work exposure(do not includes CA articleship)....better to go for short term courses.

Hello madam

I suggest dont take any other course which is very difficult to manage like (CFA, CPA Etc) this course you can do once you complete the CA, but with CA you want do then take which is not much burden and not much difficult to cope up. You have to do Articles and studying like internationl courses will not be a good idea. You can take CS, CWA or CISA something which you cope up with CA. Once you complete CA then you can do CFA and its purely Finance and recognised world wide. CPA course his like that all countries has different CPA so if you do in USA then it will be more scope in USA only. So while choosing be careful.

Its my point of view, rest its in your hands.

All the best

Regards

Balu

Actuary is the best ..it has tremendous opportunities in the current market..If you have the courage to go for better additional course it is the best idea.
