Lapse of years in CA course

Hi I had started my CA career back in 2009. I had completed my CPT but unfortunately I couldn't complete my IPCC. I had re-registered in 2015 but yet couldn't go ahead due to my family since I got married, but now I want to again start up. So I am confused shall I re-register myself with direct entry scheme as I have completed my M.Com or shall I go with intermediate. So I request you to please help me out with a better solution.

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses a Chartered Accountancy (CA) student who paused their studies in 2009 after CPT and part of IPCC, and is now looking to restart after a significant break. They are seeking advice on whether to re-register via the Direct Entry scheme, having completed an M.Com, or continue with the Intermediate level. The responses offer mixed advice, with some suggesting Direct Entry is better but may require re-registration fees, while others advise careful consideration of continuing the CA course after such a long lapse due to its inherent uncertainties and suggest exploring alternative career paths if not already in a CA-related field.

Better to direct entry scheme
Direct entry will be better but u have to pay registration fee again

you can continue with your existing registration number
or i will say to think twice to continue ca after such a long period, if are already working in the ca related field only then think about it

otherwise think about other alternatives bcoz there is uncertainty in this course

so better to ho for a curriculum where certainty to complete
If not CA then can you suggest me something better to enhance my knowledge
