I suggest you to wait for your results.

I suggest you to revise all subjects more from the practicle angle.

If you like my way do let me know

You have to first analyse the factors due to which you had to take those many attempts.. Some reasons:

1. Lack of interest: Mind wandering with all other topics other than course ones.

2. Environmental factors: Family or Financial issues/ Neighbourhood/ etc.

3. Understanding: You are unable to understand the topics.

See if you can control these and turn things in your favour. In my opinion, it is still not late, but you have to consider the fact that you have to concentrate to clear your uncleared papers plus, there is final with 8 more papers, then there is articleship pressure too. Of course, getting into a decent firm and interacting with other people doing same thing, seeing how things work practically, will open up your mind, change your perception, may raise your interest.

See if you are really interested in the course, then go any further else, it would be a waste of time and you'll be full of regret and remorse after articleship. Of course, if you do your work honestly during articleship (in a decent firm, as a lot of firms are jokes and will waste your valuable time) you can still find decent job with CA - inter/ IPCC qualification in numerous firms/ organisations, and you can try clearing final during this time (during articleship, during job).

Nobody can answer your question better than you. You can also look for other avenues/ courses, like: ICWAI, MBA, etc.. which maybe comparatively easier , take lesser time and provide good scope.
