CA/CS/CWA is the excellent option for commerce students

7689 views 13 replies

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

Hai! But all this salary statistics are proved wrong after may 11 result. When lot of students are jobless after this may 11 result, how do you still say that ca is best.

Sitiayions of IIT and IIM are also worse. This is happening due to recessionary period across the wordl.

Economy is not doing well. The job situations for any sectors ca not be good. This is temporary  phenomenon.

Who said so? people say that ca has lost it's glamour.

If you want to do course having more glamor and think CA has lost its glamor , then why you are not trying IITor IIM , then you can prove your capacity. They are undoubtely top education in the country. 

First compete CA with articleship , not dummy training and  possible with first attempt and  try CAT , then you can decide what is glamor, your personal capability is tested/

I have already completed my articles and inter. Iam doing final. By saying this what do you mean? No capability is tested in ca? What answer you have for people who passed in may 11 and are jobless? You say that they have not proved their capability ? If only a person passess CAT,his capability is proved? This type of reply indicates that you are of the opinion that MBA is a better option than ca. Then why did you say that ca is the best in your original message? Saying that ca is best you are now making a statement that capability is proved only by passing CAT. Both these statements are contradictory!

Yes , i think MBA from IIM  (not below level of IIM),  is best option for studenst like you to enjoy glamor. No doubt , IIM MBA is supposed to have more edge over ave CA .

Qaulifying CA in first attempt with good traing is same things like getting admission in IIM. It is not contradictory ,it is self explanatory.

Why are you silent about the capability factor?
Why are you silent about the capability factor? Dont you think that there is a vast difference between the current situation for ca's and the statistics that you have given? Is it not misleading? You are also silent about the ca's who are still unemployed. If you say that this is only temporary, then tell me when will this change exactly?
When you yourself say that MBA is better then why the hell did you say that CA is the best?

Read the survey , it is based professionals who are working in industries, 

Tell me about yout performance in CA and Traing article ship , i will give you refercne in some of CA firms.

Fisrt tell me about your own forforamcne in CA and traing , then discuss, i can not assure dummy CA Traing and took decades to qaulifying ca , as nowdays CA are qualifing at very youger age.

If you are not happy just because some one is happy . Then you can not be happy in your whole life.

You are actually happy when lot of newly qualified ca's are sad and jobless. You help them secure a good job and prove that your statistics are right. I will be appearing in my final shortly. Already there are lot of ca's who are unemployed. After jan 18th there will be an addition to this unemployed list. You are now publishing a statistics which is clearly untrue. It shows that either you are misleading people or that you are completely ignorant. Moreover iam the only person till now replying to your post in the forum. Nobody has agreed to your views. This itself shows that your statistics are wrong and misleading. You are still silent on the capability factor and your reply to the ca's who are jobless.
