If I choose CA, is B.Com necessary?

Many questions linger in the minds of Commerce students who have just completed 12th grade. If I choose CA, is B.Com necessary? If at all i finally believe that i need to do B.Com, is it mandatory that i have to study the same in a college as a full time student. If i opt for studying B.Com by correspondence, does it have value? If i opt for studying B.Com by correspondence, will it affect my options later if i would like to do a Masters in the subject or an MBA or IAS or CPA or any other International Chartered Accountancy course? Time & again these questions have come in from the commerce students or their parents! Should we take a bachelors degree along with CA r CS or CMA? Yes! You must do your bachelors along with your professional course. Why should you do that? Because if you are only a CA not B.Com and later in life if you want to do higher studies abroad, then you will not be able to make the eligibility criteria for any International Universities or Colleges, wh

Is Mathematics required to pursue Chartered Accountancy?

A question that has always been top of mind for most Commerce students & their parents, with as many different answers that confuse. To provide clarity & before i say YES or NO, let me give you the background. Basically the students can be classified into CBSE & State Board. Until last year i.e.2019, CBSE did not classify their mathematics applicability for Science vs Commerce. They had only one Mathematics called General Mathematics, which was applicable for all. However under the State Board Syllabus, they had 2 options; Business Mathematics & General Mathematics. CBSE Students study General Mathematics & State Board study Business Mathematics. However there are students who do not opt for Mathematics during their 11th & 12th. They opt for Marketing, Computer Science or any other allied subjects offered. For these students, this question of whether Math is required for CA, seems to be pertinent. It is imperative that students understand whether they

Commerce Group & Career Prospects!

Popular & Lucrative Career Options for Commerce Students After 12th A popular misconception from the '80's & '90's  is that 'Students unable to score well enough to opt science go for commerce' or ' With commerce, I have only limited career options, such as CA, CS and B.Com' or 'Only students from a business-class family background should go for commerce'. Probably a leftover from a tough past & colonial imposition, these statements have led the thought process of society, parents, and friends. The truth, yes, is that the commerce stream, much in the same way as science, or humanities for that matter, opens up a plethora of career opportunities for students. Long-standing societal norms for selecting streams in our country have dictated that toppers and academically-gifted students will naturally drift towards science. However thankfully with the availability of information on the internet, this practice is fast being overturned. Stu
