Dear Freinds,
Sceince students have various options including creamy quality education in the form of IIT ,medical. But there are few options for students of commerce backgrounds.
One of the best option for them is CA. If you want to make your career in the field of Accouting and finance , CA is the best option;
CA gives you full fleged accounting qualification unlike MBA Finance and CWA , MBA finance from the top B schools good careers in the feild of investment banking and management consulting ,while CWA gives you career platform in the field of cost and management Accounting .
But CA has been accepted in the wide areas, They can go for public accounting , management consulting ,management Accounting . Once you complete CA you have options to persue your careers in the ares of your choice. Once you complete your CA, you need to do only short cousre to obtain any qualification like mangement Accounting , risk mangement , International taxation and other finance educations
In the global arena, CA/CPA are allowed CIMA/CGMA credentials only after testing their experience in the private jobs and wrtie of few papers. But in case you are CWA/CMA and MBA Fiance , you have to do full CA/CPA cousre to enter in the feild of CA/CPA.Hence , CPA/CA are having eexlusive public accounting ,which is vast field of statutory compliances ,audit and taxations.
Hence , as commerce students at the young age , better you persue CA , if you want to make careers in the feild of accounst and fiances.
Money is primary force to decide ,which cousre , you would like to persue. MBA finance from top B schoosl is very good to earne good money compared to CA . But after qualifying CA , you will get very good salary package . See the latset salary survey
i would like to share salary survey of CWA vs CA,, This is fresh survey available till date. Please find the survey on diffrent category;

Another option is Company Secretary , if you want to make your careers in the field of secretrerail practice , CS is best option . But the feild is limited ,though you will have interaction with board of directors of company, which generally CA/CWA may not have. General perception/mis perception is that this course is feminist one like MBA ,which is mostly persued by girls HR ,but now days male students are also increasing day bay day.
CWA/CMA: This option leads your in the field of accountancy , but the area is limited to industries and pribate jobs, CWA's are not allowed in public accounting as compared to CA. They are expert in the costing ,cost management and management Accounting. These cousre are specially good options for ;
Workings professionals ,who do not want to quit their jobs for artilceship hurdle.
Part timers/Home makers/ Students persuing full time graduate cousres and having too much timedesirous of utilising time in education.
CA/CS/MBA/Engineers ,who want to enhance their careers in the field of management Accountings and cost after gaining in the hands on experience in the feild of management ,fianance ,cost engineering and banking.
Thanks
