The requirement of finance professionals is increasing day by day in modern
businesses. Thus the role of Chartered Accountants is evolving across various parts of
the worlds as business requires professionals to manage. Professionals who
are qualified in Finance and have knowledge in Taxation, Auditing, Legal, and
Management are in huge demand as the scope across each field is expanding.
CA is professional accounting degree offered by the Indian Institute of Chartered
Accounting (ICAI), which allows an individual to practice Chartered Accountant in
India.
Before a student begins with any level of CA they have to clear an entrance exam ie
CPT. CA a student has to clear the IPCC, article ship and final level, after clearing
CPT, to become a CA professional. The IPCC level consist of two groups which are to
be given together. If a student fails to clear even one single paper than he/ she has
to sit for the whole group again which creates a kind of frustration among the
students as they have to sit for a particular papers again and again even after
clearing it once. CA exams are conducted twice a year in May and November.
The rigid rules of 3 years CA article ship leads to cheap labor for its members and
even after working with so much determination the students cannot expect any
stipend from their employer.
Out of 1 lakh students only 5000 students are able to clear and become CA
profesionals. Out of 5000 students only 1200 students are able to get a placement
with an average salary of 6-7 lakhs per annum.
