• Enhancing management skills .

Hello Faisal,

Yes, joining college after a 3-year gap is worth it if you have clarity about your new career path. Many people switch fields or resume studies after realizing their initial choice wasn’t right for them. Here’s why it can still work out:

1) Relevance of BCA: A BCA (Bachelor of Computer Applications) degree has good job prospects, especially in the IT sector, which values skills over age or gaps. Focus on developing programming, data analysis, and software development skills during your course.

2) Addressing the Gap:

a) During interviews, explain that your gap was spent exploring CA and that you shifted focus after realizing it wasn’t your passion.

b) Emphasize your decision-making ability and commitment to your new field.

3) Skill Development: Use your college years to gain internships, certifications (e.g., Python, Java, Data Science), and projects to build a strong portfolio, making your gap less significant.

4) Job Opportunities: The IT industry values skills and hands-on experience over continuous education. If you excel in BCA and develop in-demand technical expertise, the gap won’t hinder your chances of securing a good job.

Key Tips:

• Take online courses to bridge your skill gap while studying.
• Focus on networking and gaining relevant internships during your degree.
• Be confident about your decision and convey it positively to potential employers.

Your determination and effort will matter more than the gap in the long run.

Yes, a candidate with a graduation degree and CA-CPT (Common Proficiency Test) can be eligible to pursue the CPA (Certified Public Accountant) designation, but eligibility varies by state in the U.S.

To sit for the CPA exam, most states require candidates to have a bachelor’s degree and a total of 150 credit hours of post-secondary education. CA-CPT is typically considered equivalent to certain educational credits, but specific credit evaluations must be conducted based on your educational background. Generally, having a CA (Chartered Accountant) qualification or related degrees such as an MBA can help fulfill the additional credit requirements necessary to meet the 150-hour criterion.

Additionally, candidates are often required to demonstrate relevant work experience in accounting, typically around one to two years, and must pass the CPA exam comprising four sections. Some states also mandate an ethics exam. It’s advisable to check the specific requirements of the state you wish to apply in and consider having your educational qualifications evaluated by an accredited body to ensure you meet all necessary criteria for CPA eligibility.

hope this helps you!!

Hey there! Thanks for reaching out to us at Careers360.

Oh no, I totally get how frustrating it can be to realize you've filled out the wrong form. Don't worry though, these things happen!

Regarding your situation with the BBA CA and BBA General forms, it really depends on the specific rules of the admission process you're going through. Some universities are pretty flexible and allow changes between rounds, while others might have stricter policies

Your best bet would be to contact the admissions office directly. They'll have the most up-to-date info on whether you can switch to BBA General in the next CAP round.

If you want, I can try to find their contact details for you. Just let me know which university or board is handling your admissions, and I'll see what I can dig up.

Hang in there! We'll figure this out.

Hello aspirant,

Yes, having completed A1, A2, and B1 levels in French can certainly enhance your chances of getting a government job in India. Many government departments and organizations value proficiency in foreign languages, especially those with diplomatic, cultural, or trade relations with French-speaking countries.

Here are some potential avenues to explore:

1. Indian Foreign Service (IFS):

• The IFS is a prestigious service that offers opportunities to serve in Indian embassies and consulates abroad.
• Proficiency in French can be a significant advantage in securing a posting to a French-speaking country.
• You can find more information about the IFS on the Ministry of External Affairs website: https://www.mea.gov.in/

2. Central and State Government Departments:

• Several central and state government departments, such as the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, the Ministry of Tourism, and various state tourism boards, often require employees with foreign language skills.
• Check the official websites of these departments for job notifications and recruitment processes.

3. Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs):

• Many PSUs, especially those involved in international trade or collaboration, seek candidates with foreign language skills.
• Look for job openings on the websites of major PSUs.

4. International Organizations:

• If you're interested in working for international organizations like the United Nations or UNESCO, proficiency in French can be a valuable asset.
• Check their official websites for job postings and recruitment processes.

5. Private Sector Companies:

• While not strictly government jobs, many private sector companies, especially those operating in sectors like tourism, hospitality, and international trade, require employees with foreign language skills.
  
  

Tips for Applying:

• Highlight your French language skills: In your job applications and interviews, emphasize your proficiency in French and how it can benefit the organization.
• Prepare for language assessments: Many government and private sector organizations conduct language assessments as part of the recruitment process.

hello

The eligibility for exemptions in the CA IPCC (now known as CA Intermediate) exams is governed by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI). According to the ICAI, exemptions are valid for a certain period.

If a student passed CA IPCC Group 1 (Accounting, Auditing, and Law) in 2012, they would have been eligible for exemptions in those subjects for a period of 3-4 years from the date of passing. However, since it has been more than 12 years since passing, the exemptions would have lapsed.

To confirm, I recommend checking the ICAI website or contacting the ICAI directly for the most up-to-date information on exemption validity and any possible extension or reinstatement provisions. They will be able to provide the most accurate and personalized guidance for your specific situation.

Hello Aspirant

The eligibility criteria for appearing in the CA direct entry exam are that

1) If the candidate is from a commerce background, he/she must have acquired at least 55% aggregate in their graduate/postgraduate exam

2) If the candidate is from a non-commerce background, he/she must have acquired 60% aggregate in their graduate/postgraduate examination.

Now, if you are sure that you will be able to clear your backlog before May of 2025, before the CA exam, then yes, you can fill out the form. But if you can't, then you won't be eligible to appear for the exam.

I would suggest that you fill out the form for CA Direct Entry because your exam is in November so there is no doubt in whether the exam will be held before your CA exam or after that. Because you only have a backlog in one semester, you can surely pass it in first attempt

Hope this helps
