Shiksha Top Questions

When I read the question, the instant answer that came to my mind is CA. No doubt that CA is far more advanced and acceptable in any industry. CWA and CS have comparatively fewer opportunities.
If you are doing CA then you should complete it within 4 years. Not more than that to achieve everything on time otherwise your life will be tough if you started getting flunked.
Start working with studies instantly. Work is a very important part of CA, without working, you can't get the true meaning of CA.
I will not write much about CWA and CS because the scope of both the courses is very limited as compared to CA. CWA takes around 3-years but the syllabus has been changed now and also it has a very low passing percentage. So it will not be easy to clear CWA either but its return in terms of package can't surpass CA. You can get a job in foreign countries with CA. This benefit is not available with courses like CWA and CS.

Yes, your marks and your attempt get counted everywhere you apply. If you are looking for a job in an MNC then you must have scored good marks and have less number of attempts. If you take many attempts then only it's on company's hand. They can give you the job if only they find some real quality compared to others.
Also, if you can explain why you needed those extra attempts, you still have a chance to shine in the Interview and get that coveted articleship.
Generally, this is used as a distinguished between the quality of a student who has the same scores or experiences. Although this may not be an ideal way, the fact that one student could clear the same exam in the first go deserves some amount of preference.
This consideration is only done in the 1st or 2nd job but as you move up the ladder for the work experience, there will be many other skills that you will acquire which will boost your overall profile.

Pursuing Masters in finance and accounting from distance learning isn't worthwhile. It can only be beneficial if you are already a working professional and is working with the financial sector. You should pursue Master of finance and accounting from regular mode.

IRMA doesn't have any specific course or area from which it draws questions for ISC. So, preparing for ISC, as past trends have shown, you may look at recently announced policies, schemes, allocations to schemes, current issues between states, and recent happenings in the India. Very few questions are asked about past data, though, questions related to rural development projects can be seen.
Candidates need to answer 40 questions on Issues of Social Concern in one hour 20 minutes. The section generally tests the candidate's understanding of relevant social issues and socio-economic factors. As far as issues of social concerns are taken into account, I suggest everyone to go with the monthly magazine named 'Pratiyogita Darpan' (PD). It would be a pretty good option. I would suggest you to look through the magazines of PD published over the last two years for scoring good marks in exam
