Career Advise needed.

Hello Members,

My first topic here relates to career guidance.

 

I'm a BCom second year student. I registered for CS course last year but could not give the foundation exam in June this year because of medical issues. I will be giving my foundation exam in December. I'm being told by a lot of people that CS alone is not a good career choice since most companies prefer CS along with L.LB or get their secretarial work done with CA.

I'm now feeling insecure about my career so I'm thinking of registering for CPT exam and pursue CA along with CS though I'm not strong in accounting .

I finished my school late because of medical reasons  so I'm 22 now. Would it be advisable to enter CA course so late ? Or should I concentrate on CS course ?

farhan,

age is not the limitation if u want to join CA course. it is seen that people above 30 years join CA and clear also.

you are at 22 years of age and young enough to enter into the field of CA course. As u might be aware of that a person is required to do more hard work in order to become a CA. u must also study by keeping this in mind. the rest thing should leave on Allah(The God).

 

also continue ur CS course because people have made a good career by doing CS course only. various career opportunities are now available for CSs....

 

alternatively, if u want to do a course other than CA then u may go for CWA course also. it is also a well reputed course having lots of professional opportunities. If u want to be in Practice, Join CA otherwise i will strongly suggest you to join CWA course, if u want to build your career in the industry.  

 

All The Best

Thank you Sir,

If i pursue CA and CS together  my CA articleship period will clash with CS training. How to manage it ?

As per ICAI, one shall undergo articleship after passing the first group of IPCC(as per my knowledge). whereas, as per ICSI the student may undergo training either after passing executive program OR after passing Final exam. i dont think there will be clash, if it happens then go for CA-articleship. u may join training under CS course at any time before applying for the membership of the institute. its only for 15 months.

 

Thanks & Regards
