Since a long time, I had a question in my mind and now as i have got a stage for sharing my views i would wish the readers to submit their views my disscussion, as to Why don't we have any colleges for CA study???

Usually, we have colleges for fields like engineering, medical, law, etc...Also we have a centeralized ICAI institute which provides us with the CA degree ( the degree which i strongly desire to possess) and most of us take coaching classes for studying...In my personal view I think we should also have colleges which function under the ICAI...

Your views to this disscussion are open and i would request the readers to please not take this in a wrong way as this is only what i think.

The idea is very nice we wont hv to worry about attendence in BCom coll and managing coaching classes along with BCom.

But there cannot be coll bcoz ICAI does not want to pass all the students!! only 20% approx pass. wat will the rest do. if they leave coll, then they are not even CA, nor BCom graduate!!

Those are my views.

If someone finds a solution to this it will be really good for all CA students.

The Idea is one of the best ideas after " Jan Lokpal " and requires a serious consideration.

I do not think that by opening colleges so called " Parliamentary Democracy" of ICAI or its Council Members is having any danger or negative impact from so called " foreign powers" .

Educating CA  Students in Colleges is a task to which the ICAI can handle better than any other Professional Body in the World.

The Infra-structure is the main problem.

Without Govt Support it can't be developed.

If Govt.- Grants are accepted at such a huge level, naturally the HRD Ministry will demand its share.

POLITICAL INTERFERENCE WILL RELEASE ANOTHER NEW MOVIE " AARAKSHAN" .

IS THIS "DUSHAN"  NECESSARY IN PROFESSIONAL COURCES LIKE  CA

tHEN..... or after sometime  the gOVT will again bring the concept of public-private participation........???????????

WE WILL COME BACK FROM WHERE WE STARTED.

In my view, the Coaching Classes and faculties engaged in educating the CA Students are really doing a wonderful job.

.

They are building the nation with their whole hearted efforts and hardwork. 

.

I have a great respect for  all " Gurus" of CA Students.

.

The Coaching Classes are working in more ethical way and discharging their obligation in an honest manner then any Govt  or Private Institution working in the educational field. 

.

sTILL IF YOU THINK THAT COLLEGES WILL SERVE THE PURPOSE......

YOUR DEMAND CAN BE SENT TO THE RESPECTED STANDING COMMITTEE.

4 HOW LONG YOUR DEMAND WILL remain Standing  ?  WE CAN'T SAY.

It  may    endanger      the           parliament         democracy          system?????

1. The aprenticeship approach of learning a skill/profession is the ancient method, now mostly replaced by rigrous classroom studies. All professions - engineering, medicine, management, (even electrician) have shifted to classroom study and examinations followed by a shorter intensive practical training. Those who demean the college time as wasted time fail to understand the important life and professional skills imparted by the passage of time with peers or friends, competeing, collaborating, organising, having fun, plotting and simply being comfortable with others.

2. The poor ratio of students finally qualifying versus those enterting the course does nothing to enhance the stature of the profession. Lakhs of BE or BCom + MBAs have taken up the Finance jobs that CAs could have got. And many of these MBA routes are out performing their CA collegues, putting to shame the "articleship" grind and the so called tough course.

3. The poor success ratio only shows that the entry gate is loose. It is not matched with the "end in mind". Or the purpose is to bring in a large virtually free labour force to do articles work at much below the minimum wages to sustain the auditing industry. This concept of paying low because you are training is odd. There is no escaping that in every job you have to train. Try paying below mainimum wages in industry and you attract penalty.

4. Many colleges today are allowed to offer variety of options. BCom colleges can provide a dual degree option. Do the regular exams and you get BCom over 3 years time. Additionally , appear in the CA exams and pass to qualify as a CA. After the three year of college and passing all the exams (in a limited time, say 4 years) a student qualifys for 1 year practical training before getting his membership. This ensures the benefit of college time, a ready backup degree if you do noy qualify, and sufficient practical training to take off in the profession.

5. There can be a parallel route of qualifying for those who could not pursue college but had to jump into work to for e conomic reasons. This can be similar to the methos today but with shorter practical training.
