CA

Yes, if you are doing your IPCC level in CA with the direct entry, it is compulsory requirement for you to submit your graduation certificate.

Hi, yes you can easily go for CFA after CA. Good luck.

Hi Shubham,
You should choose economics, if you want to pursue CA, as it will help you in cracking CPT (entrance test) one of the subject in CPT is economics.

Hi Barsha, Please clarify that which type of mark sheet you are talking about? Graduation or CPT or otherwise?

No, do not think of working under CA or someone else at this stage. You can do MBA in Finance. I recommend you to try clearing first level of CFA if you are extremely interested in finance. As you are a mechanical engineer, clearing first level of CFA before starting MBA will help you a lot in MBA and for placements. Besides, if you are still exploring finance and not sure then do small courses provided by NSE and BSE Institute. All the best.

Dear Sanjana,
CA is a quite professional certification. It actually depends upon your understanding and expertise of the subject matter. You get a large scope of opportunities on successfully completing it. However, the salary depends on your negotiating capacity. However, an initial package for a CA can somewhere land up around 6-8 LPA. This is my personal view about the package that I have observed.

Hi,
For a Chartered Accountant, there are 3 opportunities according to me:
- As a SAP Auditor
- SAP Accounting team member
- SAP Consultant
All the 3 options are very good to start your career. Not much competition is there.

PG course or short-term course which you want to do depends on your field. You can pursue a course related to:
1. Equity
2. Courses from BSE/NSE
3. Digital Marketing
4. IoT
5. Cyber Security
6. UX
7. CCNA
8. AWS

Well, there are still more opportunities for you if you have pursued any degree, you can go for banking, civil, etc., but still, you may work as a lecturer after completing your CA.

Hi Stephen,
Any number of hours you devote is less. The more you work hard, the more you will move towards the success. But if you ask me 10-12 quality hours will be helpful.
