Respected Professional Colleagues,

I am Associate Member of Instute of Cost Accountants of India. I am a Railway employee working as Steno since 1995. I completed my ICWA in the year 2009 and could not leave Railway since by the year 2015 i will be eligible for Pension benefits.

Now, In order to cover the period of another 2 1/2 years, I would like to pursue CS course so that by the year 2015 i will be geeting another fresh graduation so that i can try for some good companies.

Now, I need my experieneced colleagues whether my decision is correct or would you all suggest any other better career option.

Enthusiastically awaiting for professional advise please.

thank you

yes, your decision is good.but instead of pursuing cs , opt for ca it will be a better combination and you will have many oppurtunities

since entrance level examination is exempted for bcom completed students. u have to undergo ipcc and final levels along with articleship.

course will be completed in 3 years

I suggest you for MBA in Finance which is the best option for you at this present scenario. After MBA, you will develop managerial skills and it help you to enhance your career. ICWAI is a course which is more focus on cost of production like you have learned cost effectiveness, cost reduction and many other cost related techniques. It may be possible that you find similarity between ICWA and MBA finance but it will be more refined and you will gain extra knowledge.
