Is opting maths in 11 and 12 compulsory to pursue career in CA? Is maths very important for becoming a CA?
Maths is important if you want to clear CPT easily. Certain topics which you will learn in 11th and 12th std are also in CPT syllabus (Eg integration,derivatives, regression coefficient etc)
One of the main reason for CPT students facing difficulty is maths. If you have taken maths for 11th and 12th then it will be a plus point for you as you will understand the concepts in CPT better.
Many students have joined CPT without maths in 11th and 12th. It is possible to join CPT without doing maths in 11th and 12th. But, you will HAVE TO study maths in CPT in order to pass.
practice mathematics as much as you can and improve yourself. You will find it difficult to clear CPT if you don't study maths well. I'm not trying to scare you.
DO NOT ignore mathematics if you want to clear CPT easily

Feel free to comment if you have any doubt
Good luck
Yeah. First of the most basic math is needed each and everywhere in life. And when coming to advanced maths like integration and all. They are mostly only useful in CPT and somewhat in final. Being strong at maths is surely gonna help you in costing and financial management as well as accounts.
Maths may not be as much needed when you pursue your CA course but once when you are done with CA and you want to join some field like investment banking, stock market, portfolio manager, financial analyst,etc you will understand the dire importance of advanced maths. Many leave up maths in CPT thinking that the other subjects will set off it
So, yes maths too is important, not that much but yeah it is.
I hope it will help you
Good luck....
Dear student, it is not compulsory to choose maths in class 11th and 12th if you want to pursue CA as a career. But yes, definitely you will have business maths as a subject in CA foundation exam. if you will have studied maths in class 11th and 12th, it will be easy for you to crack this exam. Else it is fine if you are not taking maths
