hara aum bharath... I donot get what you exactly mean by finance sector... If you want something related to share market commodity market then you have got specific courses for that..If you mean over all exposure and taking a lead as a finance analyst then CA has got much value and it will be very helpful to you even in our current field.... If you wanna hardcore finance exposure that too in manufacturing concern then you can go for ICWA... However you have to undergo practical training for 3 years in case of CA and you have something like that in CWA too... CA is always the better option as you can venture a lot... You have so many classes for that and exposure would be very good...You can directly takeup PCC course in CA... You will be having all the details in our Institutes official website.... All the best...

CPT is universal for all. direct entry into PCC isn't possible.

so Mr. Venkata, if u r ready to give up ur job and have developed a passion for CA, u can take the plunge. But you shud first go thro' the CA syllabus and then take the decision.

visit www.icai.org 's student section.

Think CPT is required only if you dont hava any graduation... Though you hold non science degree you are directly eligible for PCC...55% is required...

hi awshesh,

i lik ur goal nd confidence par things are'nt d way we lik them to be. so lets think practically

ca nd mba at a time ... not possible (almost) bcoz u wont b permitted by d institute in d first case nd if u wanna go for correspondence that doesn't serve d purpose moreover it will b extremely difficult since u have articleship which kills almost half of d day. now comin 2 CPT what were ur coresubjects in grad or +2 level? based on that (fundamental strength) its bttr to choose books if it was science all d way .Q.APTITUDE will b a cake walk

1. accounts bttr undergo coaching if u r 2 start from basics

2.4 law nd economics institute mat is good for first round

for quick revision ( bfor xams) u can go for SCANNER

start preparing first don't think tooooo much right now

ALL THE VERY BEST

CHEERS,

Hi Bharat,

I am also looking to pursue ICWA after 3+ years of experience in Software Development(Java Platform). Can you please share the information of what you have done to achieve this profile. And also about the scope of career opportunities after doing it. Since both the Software Dev and Finance are completely diff.

Thanks and regards,

Satish Fulari

UR HUNCH FOR PROFESSIONAL DEGREE IS GOOD. But you have to leave ur job to do articleship of 3.5 years. in case u do not leave ur current job and continue training than it will be straight violation of the institutes guidelines.. plus no one gets exemption from appearing for cpt to join the course.. so please make a calculated decision .. for all that glitters is not gold.
