Just wanted to know it is that a good idea to do CA at age 27. Do I need to leave my job to do CA. Whats the duration of the course? The reason I am asking this because If I begin now then I will more than 30 years on completion , so r the job prospects good for a 30 plus CA? I have scored 66.06% in B.com so I can get direct entry I hope.

Thanks

Yea it is absolutely oka 2 do CA at 27.Luk when mother ICAI dose'nt discriminate between the members of institute on the basis of age,no. of attempts n ol.. then v shud olso nt discriminate.

Go 4 it.. n if u cn study by urslf without taking tutions then dont leave ur job till u clear ur group 1 of ipcc, n jus take a leave when u have 2 prepare 4 exams ( preferably 3 months )

if u wnna go 4 tutions then u ll have 2 leave ur job ryt away

n afta clearing your group 1 u ll have 2 leave the job coz u gotta undergo practical training as per the procedure.

Its jus 1 lyf..ROck it..thr z no age baar n stuff on nythng..u cn do wtva n wnva u feel like..! ol d best

Dear Tanay, you have raised three question here, first about about your age, second about the duration, and third about the job. in fist case the age is not an issue by the institute itself, it gives chance to all whatever age they have, in second case if you clear all the coming stages in first attempts then you will have to wait for near about 3 and half years including your, and in third case if you are a well settled person having no problem in terms of financial, you can very well go ahead and complete your dream.

Thanks

Age is not a factor if you have the inclination to study.I know of a person who joined for CA at 35 after working for a number of years and after having two children.He completed CA in five years and is practicing at present.So go for it.Age is just a number.

The author of the Book SFM for CA Final CA S D Bala started his CA at the age of 57 after retiring as a AGM International Financing of State Bank group in 2002 & completed his CA at his age of 60, This fact can be read in the preface of the Book of CA Final SFM , Compared to him you are too young to do CA, Just go ahead, no further advices required nor any thinking on this

I will also advise you "Don't give second thought to your decision just join it" Only do one think don't tell your neighbours, so called friends & your relatives till you accomplish your course. life ek baar milli hai toh do baar kya sochna.
