Hi everyone, I am currently in 11th grade in the commerce stream, with no idea what to do after 12th. My subjects are accountancy, economics, business studies, math, and english. I've been doing very well in business, accountancy, and economics in terms of my exam results, and I understand everything that is in the syllabus. I have a special interest in accountancy, and am able to understand all the concepts I've learnt so far very easily, mostly because I really love the subject. The CA course has been on my radar as a career option for quite a while. So I'd like to know whether CA is the right choice for me, since I have a passion for accounting specifically, and for commerce in general.

Thank you in advance!

CA is a great option for your career if you are completely ready to give your everything and study hard. Let me just tell you though, accountancy isn't the only subject. You'll have to study Costing, Tax, Financial management, and audit as well. Even if they are different subjects, all are interconnected and interesting to learn. But, this course requires determination and strong will power. You have 2 options - 1) You can start your CA career by 12th through CPT route. Here, after clearing CPT you'll directly give IPCC along with your BCom. (but only of you are willing to compromise your college life.) OR 2)
