CA

ICAI has chapters all over the country. Please get in touch with your nearest chapter for coaching.

Yes friend, you can do CA along with B.Com but for this, you need to follow some compliance i.e. have to inform to CA institute i.e. ICAI that you are doing B.Com.

I will advise you to complete your group 2 and do all your CA final classes alongside practical training.
After your CA, you will have only work to do and earn money.

First, you do your UG in B.Com. Then opt for CA. This requires you to be registered with a CA practitioner and learn while you train. This is a somewhat demanding task and hence very tough. But at the end, last laugh will be yours.
CFA is also a demanding task, but you can have it as a side one. But CFA qualifies you to be a professional in the financial market. CA enables you to be part of all fields and also independent.
Both have their own tracks to tread on.

Why not, you have the potential to become a CA. Don't lose hope. Nowadays, study material provided by the Institute of Chartered Accountant is very good. You need not to spend thousands of money for tuition or coaching.

If cost is the subject of interest for you then ICWA is very good. Otherwise, the CA has no comparison with other course, it is world class course. Time required for CA course is of 4 years approximately.

Hi Teju,
Aspirants seeking to become a Chartered Accountant should register with the Board of Studies at the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) for the Common Proficiency Test (CPT). The registration has to be done 60 days prior to appearing for the exam. Candidates can enrol for CPT after passing the class 10 exam itself. Without CPT, you cannot pursue CA programme.

You can do CA course along with your B.Com honours from Xavier's but you have to consider following points:
1. While taking admission in CA you have to write a letter to ICAI for the course i.e. B.Com you are doing from Xavier's.
2. In Xavier's College you can submit your registration letter which you will receive from ICAI in order to get some concession regarding attendance because for professional course there is some concession in the attendance.

Lucrative jobs that too after skipping 3 year articleship? Forget about that!
I must say that 3 year of training is compulsory for all even though if you clear your CA final exam till 3rd attempt you can fetch a good job. Company considers maximum 3 attempts in campus placements.

Yes, you can and you will even be exempted from giving CA foundation if you have scored more than 60% in your graduation. In other case you need to go through foundation as well.
