My son us yet studying in 12th with commerce stream. Should I choose for B.Com or apply for CA course ?

Hi sir,



Hope you are doing well. Chartered accountant is a great branch to opt after 12th commerce. Most of the students who opt Chartered accountant as a career choice , they generally do Bachelor of commerce along with CA. There are multiple reasons of doin it. Let me give you the details why students do this.



CA is a risky course i.e. there is no gurantee for becoming a CA even after lots of hard work. At the time of joining the course, you never know whether you'll be able to complete it or not (very different from engineering & medical degree, where if u once clear the entrance, you are guranteed to pass either by hook or crook ).



B.com is a easy course i.e. if one has studied IPC, he can clear B.com(full) without even opening the book.



Bachelor's degree is also required to appear for competitive exams & post graduate degrees (such as mba, pgdm)



No attendance issues in colleges. Most of the ca students go only on the examination day of the college.



As such there is no benefit of pursuing Bcom along with CA.

It is opted by students so that they can be called graduated.

Also, after completing CA if you have a graduation degree in your hand you can pursue MBA or any post graduation course you're interested in.

The main reason why students opt for Bcom along with CA is Bcom course is very similar with CA course or you can say a CA student can easily clear Bcom without studying much due to the storng base built up in CA- CPT and CA-IPCC.

From my point of view student should do Bcom along with CA as they have a graduation degree in there hand before becoming CA and it can be helpful in future also if one is planning to do other course after CA.



Take your decision accordingly as there is no harm in doing graduation along with CA, instead you'll be professionally as well as academically graduated at the end which is a plus point.
