hello frnds need ur take on this.....i m doing my ca and icwa together......recently at a seminar i heard tat coupled mba with ca from a good university i can surely meet the entire demand of the industry and there are a lot of future propects too and a combination of ca+mba is an unbeatable one.....(moreover all mba students are provided wid good placament packages)

my parents are themselves mba's from reputed universities mom- symbiosis dad-jbims (both from science field)

i myself feel tat doing a mba will surely give me an edge over others but the problem is of icwa....

plz guide guys tat whether sud i pursue icwa or leave it.....plz help me........

my dear friend my advice to you is to never leave your CWA under any case.seeing the current trend of ca results especially the finals leaving CWA will be suicidal.

moreover,the scope of CWA is no less than CA.you can yourself check the official website of ICWAI.there are atleast 7 to 8 major psu's lining up to hire fresh cost accountants offering packages between 6 to 8 lacs.

you must be wondering why i am propagating cwa so much .this is because i have been through both ca and cwa ,and i can give you a guarantee on stamp paper that the amount of of hard work we do in ca.if we do a quarter of hard work in cwa ,we can get a rank for sure.

by the way for your info i cleared cwa by studying 20 days and am still waiting to clear my ca final this time around.though i must tell you that by doing ca your chances of cracking cwa gets enhanced enormously.

many of my caclub friends may disagree with me on this but this is how i feel.

@ Ravi…..Unfortunately i agree with you Ravi....ha ha...Your observation is very true and correct.

@ Anand......you should not decide your career or take decisions on the basis of a seminar. They are almost a brain washer.

Brother my very simple advise to you is complete your CA and CWA first and think about MBA later. I know you can do anything but first workout on your vision. CA and MBA is no doubt a gr8 combo…but you are also on right path with CA and CWA. So there is no need to worry about your future.

Always at your service...

Best Regards

@ Ravi

sorry, i bet to differ frm ur opinion "the scope of CWA is no less than CA"... The brand value of CA cannot be compared with CWA/CS/M.B.A(unless from B-schools or top institutes)...

@ An&

hey,one thing i knw 4 sure, its easy 2 clear CWA. So pls go ahead wid CWA..

Gud luck !

Ankur is really an excellent mentor and i agree to him..

Further I would like to tell Diyva dat CA is just a name tag and nothing beyond..So dont misunderstand and under estimate other professional courses..

Im a finalist in all 3: CA,CS nd CWA...I personally feel on an average CWA offers better job prospects than CA in the present scenario...The market is filled up with CA's..So tehy are getting pretty low attention..And also the future of teh students pursuing CA is at stake considering the trend of results...

ICWA IS VERY BENEFICIAL FOR CA STUDENTS.IN CWA INTER WE HAVE TWO PAPERS FOR TAX.DIRECT AND INDIRECT TAXES.BUT IN CA INTER WE HAVE ONLY ONE PAPER WHICH CONTAINS INCOME TAX,SERVICE TAX AND VAT.WHERE IT CARRIES 50 MARKS AND ST AND VAT CARRIES 50 MARKS.CHANCES ARE THERE FOR STUDENTS TO PASS OUT THE EXAM WITH THE HELP OF ST, VAT AND WITH VERY LITTLE KNOWLEDGE OF IT.BUT STUDENTS THOSE WHO ARE PASSING LIKE THIS WILL FACE LOT OF PROBLEMS IN FINALS AND DURING ARTICLES.IN CWA INTER A STUDENT STUDIES ENTIRE DT AS ONE PAPER AND ENTIRE IDT AS ONE PAPER WHERE HE/SHE CAN GAIN KNOWLEDGE REGARDING DT UNLIKE CA INTER.THOSE WHO ARE PURSUING BOTH AT A TIME ,HAVE CHANCE TO PLAY WITH TAX PAPER IN THE EXAMS AS WELL IN CA FINAL.WEALTH TAX IS INCLUDED IN CWA INTER PORTION WHERE A CA STUDENT STUDIES IT IN FINAL.SO PURSUING BOTH THE GROUPS AT A TIME IS VERY BENEFICIAL....

Actually I am doing MBA distance from ICFAI and also doing full time job as an accountant and also given cpt two times 1st i got 86 and 2nd time i got 93 just because of math is a subject which i can not give proper time and i don't have more idea in math. I am again going to give cpt exam in dec month. pls advice me yaar am i be able to do CA ,CS &amp;amp; MBA together because i want to do CA &amp;amp; CS along with MBA because i can handle ca with my MBA but i will go for CS after passing the CA it will be some delay so that's why i have decided that i will cs also because in cs cost,tax &amp;amp; Law are same in ca also and if i will study ca then i can also pass cs atleast inter. So pls suggest me what should i do and if i will study atleast two months seriously can i pass ca inter both the group and if any problem will arise then after giving the june cs exam i will skip dec cs exam and give three to four months only passing for ca.and suppose if i will pass ca inter then if possible then cs dec exam i will give just in period of one months because one month is suffcient for giving cs dec exam. Pls tell me am i right and i am going in right direction. Pls reply me as early as possible.

No doubt CA is better than ICWA, but think from the perspective of passing the Exam and then placement in the Industry.

For the job, ICWA will give you best package in the PSU or Govt. companies than a CA.

Nowadays companies treat CA and ICWA parallel.

I am a CA,CS and in CWA final.

these are my views.

dear tinku,

For quantitative techniques(CPT) u must read the theory.STATISTICS WILL HELP U A LOT TO GET THROUGH CPT.INDEX NUMBERS,PROBABILITY.....EVERY CHAPTER IS IMPORTANT.IF U CANT DO PROBLEMS THEN GO AFTER THEORY.PLEASE DO NOT NEGLECT THEORY.FOLLOW THIS U WILL DEFINITELY PASS THE EXAM IN DEC.2010.AND CONCENTRATE COMPLETELY ON ONE COURSE.DONT PUT U R LEGS ON BOTH SHIPS.FIRST OF ALL COMPLETE CPT.THEN CA INTER.AFTER PASSING CA INTER GO FOR ARTICLES.DURING THIS TIME U GO FOR CS INTER(U WILL BE HAVING 2 AND HALF YEARS FOR U R CA FINAL EXAM).
