I have aspirations to become a chartered accountant



I am presently studying in Class IX and have aspirations to become a chartered accountant. I am confused about the courses to take after the Class X board exams. Can you help me with the courses I can go for?



Eligibility for becoming a chartered accountant is 10+2 in any stream. So you can take any combination of subjects in Class 11. The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) is the only institute to provide training in this field in India. The Institute imparts compulsory postal tuition for its various exams. Regional Councils and some of the Chapters of the Institute also conduct oral coaching classes for the benefit of the students.

I am interested in Commerce and my aim is to do C.A.



I’ve written my SSLC exam and waiting for the result. I am interested in Commerce and my aim is to do C.A. If I want to do C.A., is it necessary to choose basic Maths in PUC or can I go for CEBA (Computer Science, Economics, Business Studies, Accountancy)?



Chartered Accountancy is essentially a finance-related course that empowers you to certify all accounts including the balance sheet of an organization. It also gives you a better grasp of financial statements along with an extensive knowledge of tax laws, management accounting and corporate laws.



The institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) is the only institute to provide training in this field in India. To be recognized as a C.A., a person must pass all the exams laid down by ICAI, and should be a registered member with ICAI. Eligibility is 10+2 in any stream, Mathematics in 10+2 is not a compulsory requirement.



Chartered Accountancy education and training has three stages – the Common Proficiency Test (CPT), the Intermediate Professional Competence Course (IPC) and the final C.A. course. Dedication and hard work is a must to complete the course. The institute provides postal coaching for all the courses.



For CPT, students can enroll with the institute after Std X and take the test after plus two. The test is held twice a year in June and December. The course content comprises Accounting, Mercantile Laws, Economics and Quantitative Aptitude. It is an objective-type test of 200 marks divided into two sessions of two hours each.



One is eligible for the IPC exam after nine months of study, after passing CPT. The IPC exam has two groups of seven subjects. On passing Group I, a student can register as an articled assistant for three years under a qualified C.A. The articled training is important for the C.A. course. They are paid a striped during the training.



After clearing the IPC examination, register for the final C.A. course which consists of group I and II with eight papers. Students should compulsorily undergo two General Management and Communication Skills courses of 15 days each.
