hey guys.. as we all know ICAI offers CA Course after 10+2... so i also joined CA Course through CPT route only(immediately after 10+2).. Board results were announced on 27th May 2013 and i was sitting for CPT june 2013 attempt.. i didn't consider doing graduation since it is not a necessity for becoming a Chartered Accountant..as i ventured through my CA journey over the years i realised that many others around me had done graduation and now i feel insecure because i want to do the job first and then go for private practice later on..DO BIG 4s AND INDUSTRIES CONSIDER GRADUATION AS A REQUIREMENT FOR RECRUITMENT OF A QUALIFIED CA ??i have written CA Final exams this November..
the problem is even with IGNOU i can get graduation degree in early 2020 only if i apply before 31st December 2018..what to do till then ?? another thing is i Haven't had much exposure in my articleship because i worked in small/mediocre firm only.. what should be my future action plan if come January 2019,i become a CA??

you are just an aspiring CA and first of all wish you all the very best for your results ... see you haven't done graduation it doesn't matter because there is an option for ca students that they can complete their graduation and masters from IGNOU .. so you can do it after CA and you will also get credit of subjects... apart from this as you are saying you have completed articleship from mid size firm ... no matter because you have academic knowledge of ca subjects so you can choose your career according to your favourite papers and you can yourself with their practical aspects.

u can do B.Com ( accounts and finance)..from IGNOU . u will be required to give papers like english.. export import procedures and two more subjects. and have to submit some assignments.. u will get credit for the subjects u have already cleared in cpt. ipcc..this is simplest route plus you will get degree soon.
