Hi all,

I am software engineer in Big MNC and i want to pursue CA in order to change my profession. I do not have a commerce backround at all as i have done BE in electronics and communications. Can anyone please tell me if I am eligible to take up CA course with a BE background. If so can you also please guide me by telling what all are the procedures to get into CA course.

Thank you in adavnce.

I find it more suitable to do a ME than struggle for 4 yrs..results in ca are unexpected..not demotivating you..just bringing out the facts...there are engg who are CA's today...one more suggestion..why dont u go for MBA finance frm a good institute..that will suffice

and 1st read prospectus. U get softcopy at icai.org > students > CA course. There are 3 stages cpt exam, ipcc and final. 1st see the details then take 1 final decision..once u choose this field then final result shud be positive bcoz u should nt loose years.

U are already a graduate. U dont need to qualify cpt. There is a direct entry scheme for u. U are eligible to give the IPCC(intermediate) exams. But fo this, u must take coachings for each subject so as to build base for every subject. And yes, that won't be easy. But if u r well determined

I also done b tech in ece nikhil and she can serve articleship hours in eveng too, for this there is mutual understanding needed between principal and you.

Dont leave your job unless you clear finals but you should first go through basic accountancy and if you feels that it is interesting then thumbs up to it!
