07 January 2016 Professional degree will give extra edge. If you can spare time for studies, you should go for it. If you can give your details about your current employment, we can discuss further.

08 January 2016 Prasanjeetji, to be honest, its difficult to clear ca examination only by weekend studies. You need to apply atleast 15 days leave before exam. Also, frankly speaking chances of getting through in first attempt is less. Managing studies along with job is not an easy task. But then it is not impossible. I do have examples where candidates clear ca final examination after 40. You also need to consider how you will comply with Articleship/industrial training provision. Withrespect to time management, you need to take call yourself.

11 January 2016 thanks sir for your valuable guidance. but I have doubt that regarding articleship. whether it is compulsory or not. if yes then during the articleship whether I have to resign from job or articleship can be continue without left the job. And when student can join for articleship. after Ipcc passed or during ipcc. Regards Prasannjeet Chakraborty

07 February 2016 I would suggest you to go for an MBA rather than CA. At your age and level a CA degree might not add that much value what MBA would add.
