Thanks for the reply i am in same boat(enginering graduate) and planning to go for CPT in december 2011.

Does they require leaving certificate for reference as i havent collected same after my graduation as my idiotic college wanted signatures of all Head of dept on form and most of them were on holidays and i was busy serving my ATKT terms.

Im with your decision of entering into the CA world! But just for my curiosity, what made u think abt studying chartered accountancy after persuing a degree like Engineering?

"The answer is just " Interest" or a drive to achieve it, i m not sure how successfull i could be in this new step, but i am ready to put my efforts, let the time decide what i am worth for" Note:- Its not only just engg graduation but also an MBA and 7 years Professional experience after which i have decided to do this. Hope my later 20's is not going to produce any age limiation bars.

Way to go Sir.. Being an Engineer + an MBA its not gonna be a problem for you to crack CPT! and also the later stages!

U can understand and solve calculus without even practicing much! The only subject which is kina new is accounts for which you'll have to put some efforts yet its easy to understand.

I can see the dedication in you. Im sure u will clear it in 1 shot!

All the best! 

@ Rahul

Thanks for your wishes and suggestions. For Accounting i have started reading 11th and 12th books, later will focus on some degree accounting books, hope this should help me to start from the basics and built it as i go through.

@ Ambarish & Magnet -- Happy to see someone similar to me. 

Well thanks for all the leads.

Well for the first time i am seeing people encouraging enough to join a career path solely on base of passion even though passing percentage being miniscule. In engineering all who suggested were after the money in field but the state of education in the country didnt allowed me to understand the fundamental of the feild at all and right from the 2nd year i was above to quit the feild.It was only after my parents suggestion to get the degree and do whtever you want i completed the field.But i didnt went into the line seriously as i knew my fundamentals are weak and have already given up  with the field.

Anyways now regarding CA as a career.Well now i am with my dads business and also do share trading for myself and my family members.And  found out  even th brightest mind  in the industry(friends) and all treat taxation as cumbersome and do silliest of silly mistakes even though they are leaders of their field.Most of my friends earn good but dont keep in savings like ppf and elss  contribution comes only just before year ending.Also when the change the job they prefer to take their PF out rather than shifting which in long term future will hit their future badly when they turn 50+.Also insurance investing is only for 80d deduction rather than valuing their life.

SO in all i have got  love with taxation and financial planning field.Also the passion helps us  too as i myself maintain my business accounts and  have got to learn personally about ledgers,p-l statement,business income account,deduction allowed for busines,presumptive taxations etc.

I wanted to go for the field and go for financial well being plus to help the less fortunate or less earning people to go for savings and their financial advise stuff.Hence planning to enter this field.I know article period will be toughest for me.But i need to give it a chance.Agreed financial planning courses would be better but they all need experince and i dont think except Ca experince in those field are like pushing product for your commission and than gain experince is not my cup of tea.

Yes i have gone through the sylabus and yes mathametical problems like calculus and derivatives wont be tougher part as thats the scoring area for us right from 11th to enginering 5th semester where we did triple calculus problem without knowing where it being actually used.

Accounts also looks okk to me but for me mercantile law is bit tough to understand but this forum have some excellent video lecture links and i guess little hard work will get pass it.In short i dont think CPT will be tough nut to crack atleast for engineers and for those who have mba quantive analysis too will help them in scoring in first attempt.

Thanks for all the motivations and best of luck to all who are giving their attempts.

ARE YOU mad......??  no engineer have become ca .................  try mba....................  dnt get me wrng , but its a fact............... i hv seen ca goin 4 engineering...........but rarely succeed

Yaaa... u are eligible for cpt
