ICWA or CA...Opinion

(Guest)

I want to do ICWA but so many people told me that ICWA has less scope than CA and he also tells me both are equally tougher ? As I am working in BPO and I do not able to give full time to any of them...... Please give me your opinion?

Why CA has better prospectus than ICWA inspite of easyness? I saw so many persons doing CA/CWA and most of them are facing difficulty in passing ICWA than CA.?

CA is a self Proclaimed Institute & course showing itself as Tough, However CWA now a days with Introduction of new Syallabus will be & is more tough than CA but really professional act of ICWAI institute that they are not unnecessarily making a Boast of themselves like CA institute.

I know that many many CA students here would not like my opinion about CA but there is a Fact in my opinion & I have made it. Honest to themselves People will accept this fact

I agree...but not cent %..ICAI never boasts about CA course...It always motivates students to opt for CA.....it is the common crowd which takes CA course as VERY TOUGH NUT TO CRACK....If one has to be blamed...its mentality of people....not ICAI....

it depends on knowlege.. how much you learned during professional course.

Both course have own value.

By the way I have done MBA but when we talk about knwoelge .. i m nill so its not mean mba is not good ... its depend on us only.

Please choose course as per your convenience & intrest.

Best of luck..

as per my opinion

KNOWLEDGE IS THE THING HERE TO CONSIDERED,

NOT ICWA, OR CA..

SO IT WILL BE OK,,IF IT IS ICWA OR CA BUT CA MEANS SOME WHAT ..UPER HAND AS NAME WISE..AND CA'S ARE EXCERSIZING MONOPOLY OVER CERTIFICATION OF BALANCESHEETS

Considering that you're already doing a job, CMA is a better option for you. However, if you're okay with quitting your job, then you may consider doing CA as well.

And according to me, both CA and CMA are equally rewarding professions. Well how effectively you use your qualifications will purely depend on you :)

Anyways good luck

Be Bindas and go for CWA simply because you want to pursue CWA from your heart.

Forget what others are saying……apna dil ki baat sun dost…

Further position of fresh CAs is visible to all…………………………………….

Let me tell you any good PSU will straight pick you if you could demonstrate your knowledge and attitude at the right time and right place…..

What is the best for u in CA, CWA or CS, it is decided by candidate.They are well & good professionally equiped courses.

The courses like ca cwa or cs is not very easy to crack like bcom level.Full completion of course and clear the the finals is very hectic job.Students are in the final like me in cwa are fully aware about this.In this stage u cant cover full syylb, question are asked idirectlt in tricky nature.So prepare mentally for this kind of study.

Lastly donot try to think abt result, it creats pressure.

Hi,

A CA can do ICWA since he will not find it difficult. But a Cost Accountant will not do CA as he is content with what he has. The ICAI has been formed by an act of Parliment, hence the existence of the ICAI is unquestionable by any body in India. If you find the qualified guys, a Chartered Accountant is more knowledgeble than a Cost Accountant.

Finally, to have a conclusive and informed opinion, you please visit the C.A. Exam Center and Cost Accountants' exam center, just half an hour before the exam starts. Really you can find the pin drop silence at the C.A. Exam center when hundreds of examinees have assembled out side the exam hall. In contrast at the I.C.W.A. exam center you can find a noise condition all along till all the students enter the exam hall.

Because majority of C.A. students are serious and majority of I.C.W.A.students are casual about their exam. This I've practically seen.
