My friend,
consider urself lucky by looking at the people who had to struggle & face a lot! consider me as ur friend, n belive me ,if u can take something out of my own experience!! I am from PE-2 background! bright & sharp student in school, but perform miserably in CA exams, Cleared My PE-1 in 2nd attempt in November-2003 ( i Lost In 1st Attempt just by 7 marks in may-2003, I scored 193 marks then wheras passing needed 200, went on for PE-2 after 1.5 years in may -2005 (coz i never knew about provisional Registration) failed,
november-2005:- failed again,
may 2006-cleared 1st group (in legally 4th attempt jsut at boundry i.e. 150marks!)
nov-06 cleared 2nd group(at 5th attempt) at that tym CPT was introduced n its passing result was 70% around!!
so I had to start my articleship at the age of 22 in month of feb 2007,whereas CPT lot started it merely as 17-18years! Alothough i Dont blame the system or CPT passout juniors, but honi ko kaun taal sakta hai??? U might have seen that all the firms in main cities were full for articleship due to higher passing CPT result, n i had to settle down with very small, mediocre firm due to no vacancy situation!!!!
i completed articleship, & appeared for my 1st attempt of final at the age of nearly 25 years in may-2009 ,
lost 1st grup by 9 marks,
re-appeared nov-09 lost it by 7 marks( scored 193 marks),
appeared again in may 10 scored 370 marks( lost 1st by 12, & 2nd by 18marks, 1st grup 188 & 2nd 182),
apeared nov 10; 368 marks( lost 1st by 11 marks & 2nd group scored 179)by this time i started doubting on myself & my capabilities, exactly the way u r doing 2 urself rt now!! ( although major reason for my naroow failure was the result supressing strategy of the institute 4which u can see the results of period 2009 & 2010, they are amongst all time low results of the institute!!!)
COmpletly lost like you, i appeared in may 2011 just4time pass, N u4urself can expect what would have happned then!! it was very good result where almost all of my stuck up freinds cleared n became chartereds! How fool i was,i had nobody to blame but myself for all this mess! what would have happned if i would have prepared well like my previous attempts!!
WAIT!!!!! the story doesnt end here!! coz i got a e clerical level psu- divisional accountant job in july -11( but when results came out, i decided to appear ca final whole heartedly again!) I used to study at evening at morninng for 6-7 hrs daily, along with my hectic job!! n was given leave of around 20 days( including exam days) for nov-11 attempt,but i had only 1thing in mind, "kuchh bhi karke clear karna hai", i appeared & scored 220MARKS & CLEARED 1ST Group in 5TH ATTEMPT!! I decided to keep studiying 4other grup along with my Hectic 12hr job!!! I studied for 20-25days & Appeared again in May12 & Scored 192marks!! hopes were feding & workload started increasing in job too!! i absconded from office for 35-40days, studied harder & appeared for my 8th attempt of ca final Nov-12 at the age of 28, n i SCored 183 marks! what a MESS!!!! i came to know my govt job is a barrier between me n my CA degree, SO at the age of 28 i decided to quit job by paying 100000Rs as bond amount for quitting the job b4 three years! i quit it in Feb13, came back to nagpur, STudied whole heartedly for 2.5months & FINALLY in MAY-13, in my 9th attempt i CLEARED FINAL scoring 207 Marks, I BEcame chartered Finally!!
STILL Wait!! struggle doesnt end here, after qutting 3.6lacs PA govt job, u no how much i m getting??? merely 18000Rs PM, & Still Searching for a Job!!
also to add in this, my personal lyf was also affected during aboveperiod! Because of struggle & mediocre financial condition i always had to suppress my feelings for som1 whom i always liked!! 4saal chooti thi wo mujhse! shayad tumhari umar ki! socha tha CA ban jaunga, kuch kamaunga, fir usse puchhunga! shayad use bhi kuch kuch idea tha, U no what hppned? she gont married in feb-13, bcoz i never had courage to tel her & my struggle was unending!!!
STory yaha bhi khatam nahi hoti!!! kya mera struggle yahi khatam hua???? nahi; its still going on, 1asha ki kiran dikhi, Last week i got a call from ICICI bank for 5.5lacs PA as credit manager- Nasik( bodhele nagar branch), at least hope karta hu ke ab kuchh achha hona shuru ho!!!!
Y i typed such a long story?? just becoz i m seeing u exactly where i stood just before may-2011 exams, lost my 2precious years bcoz of my own foolishness, please!!!! life is precious, n dont consider urself a looser!!! u are not a looser if you failed in this attempt, but u will definitely be, if u stop trying after reaching this much long!! n rahi job ki baat, wo bhi der saver achha ml hi jata hai yaar, forever u wont be in mediocare job, afterall u r CA
