Can we do CA simultaneously with Engineering?

well u can....... but i can't guarantee that u can pass............ Engineering and ca are two diff roads... engineering needs paying attention at classroom. ca needs paying attention at home(reading). choose one boat. Engineering is also the best if u r at top..... ca will be at its best even if u pass

@ nagarjuna: Thank you for the suggestion.. As a matter of fact very few of us actually attend the classes in engineering :P.. can you give me more details about where and how to start ??

Thank you

well ........... how to start up means........

ca has no specified colleges. There is only a board formed by an act of Parliament.

The board takes care of registrarions, conducting exams and all.

There are 3 stages in CA.

1. CPT- Common Proficiency Test. 4 papers.

2.IPCC-Integrated professional Competence Course. 7 papers groupI .4 papers groupII. 3 papers.

3.Final - 8 papers grup1. 4 and the rest second group.

To Start up u hav to get registered with ICAI board, for CPT. u will get exam eligibilty in 6 months.

exams will be conducted two times an year may and november.

If u pass u hav to get registered with IPCC and u get exam eligibility in 9 months.

Wen u pass IPCC group 1 or both then u will be eligible to do article ship(training).

u hav to do articles compulsorly to get final eligibility .... articles lasts for 3 years. In the meanwhile at end of ur second year training u will get eligibility to final exam.

'I dont know perfect marks for pass in cpt. But for IPCC u hav to get 40% in each subject and 50% aggregate on a group.

even if u fail a single paper or no aggregate, u hav to write all papers again unless u get an exemption in a subject.

exemption is awarded if u  get 60 marks in a subect.to get 60 is like distinction.

Now pass % in IPCC is 19% before its 14 and 6 %. 

wen ever u fail u hav to wait for further 6 months and clear that exam. U will b promoted to next level only wen u clear a stage...;........ CPT is easy. IPCC & Final tests u lot.

@ Nagarjuna: Thanks you very much.. this is exactly what I was looking for..one small question..If somehow I manage to clear CPT  and IPCC, then, should  I do aricleship as a full time ,like 10 hours everyday for 3 years (or)  is it a part time job like 2 hours a day?? Dont take this otherwise but Since we are talking about India is it possible to get a dummy certificate for articleship?? I have heard from one of my friends about this..kindly clarify the above issues.

Thank you 

Articles is not like a part time job. U might hav to spend min of 7 hours a day in office.

mmmmm........

U can get that said DUMMY thing outside....... with a cost of some 50k. 

Y articles is necessary means, after becomin a CA  the expectations on u will be at peak.

Noone will giv u training or something. U will b posted in positions such as Finance manager , Investment Banker, Tax depot etc. wen u see the practical things they will b completely different from wat u learnt. U cant go there and ask whats this form and that. It wud b gud if u learn them as a student. U can study different type of business and managers u meet.

Moreover now a days Final exam papers are framed with full Practical cases.. Articles will help u lot.

If not 3 Years, atleast an year u go thru articles. Choosing good CA for articles is also an Imp thing.....

well disadvantages of articels are ,

U find very less time for preparation. we might feel our work routine and boring... we will be paid less

But still they become minute wen u compare advantages...

Good luck

Thanks a lot again brother...I got answers to all the questions that I have..

I am currently doing b.com 3rd year in regular

and also cleared IPCC

ITT programme and orientation also completed.

Now i want to start my articleship.

My question is that can i continue my graduation with undergoing articleship?

if yes suggest means me some good answers

thanking you

@ nagarjuna can u plz clearify about the different papers in all the stages of ca??? like name of subjects etc....

@ nagarjuna can u please tell when will registration for CPT start?
