Why CA EXAMS ARE TOUGH ??????

If a doctor makes a mistake, the patient dies. If a lawyer makes a blunder his client may be hanged to death. If an engineer is incompetent the building or machinery may collapse, killing many people. But if an auditor/ chartered accountant does a mistake he merely makes a rectifying entry in the accounts or files a revised return :) Then why this course has to be so tough and why should the CA be always updating his knowledge?

Who said its tough? And when saying tough, compared to what CA is tough? When compared to 10th standard or +2 or is it graduation?

Tough is the word used by people who cannot do it. CA student is capable of doing anything and he should never feel that anything is tough.

When a CAs are incompetent, companies sink, its employees go jobless, Shareholders wealth is destroyed and in turn can bring down the economy. Remember Enron?

Even I feel a CA's work is not critical as that of a doctor. Any idea? How will b medical exams compared to CA.

my dear frnd... CA is not tough..yes it is challenging n d real heat u ll realise wen u join work. No mistake can rectify the time & energy lost. Our profession is the radar of the corporate world n v cannot afford to compromise. V jst need d bst talent.

moreover, you find anything tough only when you lack passion & zeal for that work.

If you get paid, you should take responsibility. A single mistake in decision making convert an enterprise into loss from profit. A loss that cant rectify by merely book entry rectification.

No CA is not at all tough most of the people are coming to study CA after their B.com and they dont have anlyzing skills and understanding power. moreover they don't know how to present answers in exam. that's why all these guys are taking years together for completing CA. And another thing is if we take IIM's the education is in academic way it is in campus and one will follow professors and daily works with planning according to semester in CA course there is no campus study and one can not know planning how to prepare. that's why i strongly recommend that ICAI also setup 10 to 15 campuses like as IIM's through out the india and put entrance if one can get seat in those campus he should be qualified within 4years.

I agree with Ramu. ICAi can charge a moderate fees, and impart education through campuses, which ensures uniformity in teaching & learning aspects.

I do agree with Mr. Ramu but the CET thing won't be the right thing to do, as govt. will again enforce quota system in it .. as according to me CA is the only cource which is purely on merit and hence I have opted for the same

Dear friend,

Each profession has its own pecularities, so as C.A. has. The issue is not " it is tough" or "easy" the issue is after owning the degree the amount of responsibility required to shoulder. A doctor, Lawyer, Engineer have unique responsibilities but at times reponsible for selected no of people but a Chartered Account at any point is responsible for entire organization and to all the people who have invested their hard earned monies into any organization.

My dear the heat is the magnification of responsibility and the quality what we are delivering to the society.

Hence it is one of the most challenging course but not tough.

Dear All,

Why pass % for CA is much less than B. Tech. or MBBS are:

1. Orientation from the +2 level, or even before, for B. Tech. or MBBS is strong. Only few among those who prepare for CA have oreintation from +2 level.

As there is orientation, they start preparing for the course in two year advance and thus reducing chances of failure.

2. B. Tech. fully class room oriented. When we are taught by any guru certainly the concepts will be more clear, more easy to understand, takes lesser time to grasp. Side by side they have practical exams in the same semisters in which they have studied their theoriticals, to reinforce the concepts.

Where as many CA aspirants prepare either partly or fully through with out teacher's help.

3. B. Tech. is more of logic and less of remembering; where is CA is more of remebering and less of logic (when compared to B. Tech.). So, Organised learning is more vis-a-vis cramming among B.Tech. Where as for CAs, it is other way round.

4. There is some misconception that CA pass % is much low; but the fact is that it is not that low.

i highly agree with the fact that there should be a colege or a campus just for the ca education and exams , practical training can be pursued on an organised basis along with such campus training . IM A 110% sure that if someone comes up with a great idea to balance the campus training and articled training in this respect then THE CA COURSE WILL HAVE AT LEAST A 60% PASS % .

its not tough nor its easy its your attitude that decides.....every course is unique in its spirit. ca provides you with analytical and qualitative approach thats different from other courses. CAs, doctors, engineers etc. are not compareable because of the different jobs they persue.
