Hi Bharadwaj,

Thanks for showing interest in the field of accountancy. It is really a very interesting field and you have lots of opportunities worldwide for the same. Today's world is more competitive and to face it you need to put up some handwork and efforts. This will help you to clear the CPT exams on you first attempt. Lot of practice and practical knowledge on the implementation of a problem will help you to take it forward further and help you to clear things on your first attempt.

As a person working in the field of finance for the past 10 years, I have found the career opportunities have grown more than 200% for a CA or equivalent. The expectation on the corporate world on the functional knowledge of finance is fully dependent on CA or MBA (Finance). One of the fast growing field is finance and there are lot of openings and opportunities once you have your trademark.

Few tips for you to get through your CA

1. Start getting trained from Grade 11

2. Contribute at least 1 hour a day to practice and get more practical knowledge

3. Start getting trained up in computers which will help in applying the practical knowledge of the accounting in your daily activities.

4. If you take up a decision please don't think or turn back. Work towards it until you attain it. A small look back will pull you down. Lot of people might give you lot of ideas. But it is your life. Your passion is very important. If you are passionate please work towards it.

You are on a right idea. Start working towards it if you are really interested and you will surely reap the benefit in future. It is a best field for today's growing world.

Thanks
Krubashini
