CA

Hi,
There is decent scope in government jobs for CA, in India. CA refers to the Chartered Accountant. Basically, a CA is any person with specialization and skills as well as required knowledge in the arenas of management, accountancy and audit. The academic course for Chartered Accountant can be pursued by candidates after completion of their 10+2. The procedure for screening of candidates for CA begins with basic foundation program. This is meant to test the basic knowledge of the candidates in statistics, accountancy, English and economics. Once, the candidates complete their foundation course, they are required to work under the guidance of a practicing CA as an intern in order to enhance their knowledge pertaining to the fields of taxation and law along with the awareness regarding costing, as well as accountancy. Once this level is accomplished, there is a final level, in which the candidates gain superior knowledge in the required subjects. Once this final level is successfully completed by the candidates, they can begin their professional practice as a Chartered Accountant.
Their work beyond this may include inspection of the accounts, representation of specific organizations in cases, appealing in courts, across various tribunals, on behalf of the organization that they work for. They might head the department of finance or get work as officials that are responsible for carrying out independent audit for varied organizations and institutions. A qualified Chartered Accountant might perform any of the said tasks, including Accounting, Cost Accountancy, Work as Executors and Trustees, Taxation, Directorship, Auditing, special work in various companies, secretarial work in the companies, shared valuation work as well investigation.
Government Jobs (India) for CA are available in various banks across the country and in government owned financial institutions:
Chartered Accountant in Public Sector Banks and RRB, Treasury Manager in RRB (Regional Rural Banks), Scale III Specialist Officers in banks Accountant, Chief Manager (finance and accounts) and Assistant Administrative Officer (CA).
Top opportunities:

Of course, you can. There are certain things which you might have to keep in mind in case you plan to continue them both simultaneously. The Council of the Institute, under Regulation 65 of the Chartered Accountants Regulations, 1988 has permitted Articled Assistants to pursue, with prior permission of the ICAI, only one course concurrently with CA subject to the requirement that the schools being attended for such allowed courses do not overlap with the Principal's office hours.
Therefore, if you plan to go for a regular simultaneous course, be sure to have the classes of one the courses in the evening and the other in the morning. It will be an addition to your value and career prospects. There is no harm in it if you want to go for it. I hope this helps. Just don't let one of them affect adversely the other.

There is no cut-off for CA course. First of all, going for CA you need to give the post-exam called as CPT which is the entrance exam for CA course. You need to get at least 50% in this exam and the sectional cut-off is more than 40%. After passing CPT, the next is IPCC which is going to be into groups. Facebook contents cut-off of 200 out of 400 and second group is of 300 marks cut-off is 150 in this both groups in each subject you need to score more than 40% and your aggregate marks should be more than 50% in each group. After that, you are going to give 3-years articleship and after completing your articleship, you are going to give CA final exam. CA final exam also contains the same role. You should score more than 50% and in the sectional, you should score more than 40%. One thing I would like to tell you is that after passing CPT, when you are going for IPCC if you feel in any one of the subjects or your aggregate is not getting more than 50% but in any one of the subject you should have scored more than 60%. At that time, you are going to get an exemption that is you are not supposed to give that subject again in the next attempt.

Opt for higher studies or pursue a job after completing CA.
