Hi All,
Good day. My name is Rajesh. i am currently working as a Project Manager(IT) in a Indian MNC. I am planning to do CA. I was planning it from past few years but due to work preasury couldn't able to do it. I need few details/clarifications about the CA course & registration.
I have my graduation in Commerce(B.Com) with 53.2%. If we add the optional subjects like English,Hindi etc my pass percentage stands as 56.55. I have few queries.
1. How to register for CPT exam. What are the dates for registering for CPT. When the CPT exam will be conducted.
2. Whether the study material will be supplied for CPT? If so, will that be enough for preparing for the exam
3. Whether i can directly join IPCC with my gradution pass percentage of 53.2(With out optional) or 56.55 (With Optional)
4. Whether i need to go for any regular coaching for preparing for CPT,IPCC & FINAL? Due to my job timings i can't attend regular classes. Is it fine if we study with out any coaching
5. Is there any time limit for registering for IPCC after passing CPT.
6. Is there any time limit for giving CPT exam after registering with CPT.
7. Whether the articleship has to be done after passing both the Groups or it can be done after passing any one group or after passing CPT.
8. Final one. May look bit foolish but i 'am sorry. Is it a wise decision to switch my job from the Software to Accounts/Finance? I have worked on various Banking products(Development & Implementation) like Forex Treasury, Retai Banking, Risk Management, Derivatives,Cash Management etc. Whether my IT/Software experience will be useful for me if i do CA? Whether CA will bright future or even it will doom like our indian IT Industry.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Rajesh
