What should be the schedule of a CA student?

What should be the schedule of a CA student?

The answer to this question is very subjective and shall vary for every other person. As you see, what is 9 for a person maybe a 6 for the other.

However, there are a few points that I consider while studying such as:

  • Strategic plan: I used to prepare 2 plans: Long term and Short term. Long term setting up targets for up to a month and short term means daily. I used to plan out things in such a way that I master at subjects which are my strengths and work hard on subjects which are my weaknesses.
  • Draw out a time table: Some people prefer studying all day and some can study all night. So, I prepared a time table as when to wake up, study, do other activities, sleep etc. I made a time table on a large sheet and put it up on my study table.
  • Avoid social media: Avoid social media and social life to a great extent as people near you may start affecting you. For this I had kept in my mom’s custody who surely didn’t allow me to touch my phone unless it was necessary.
  • Do exercise: Seems very unusual but trust me it helps you to a great extent. It helps you stay active, concentrate on your work and sit for longer hours. I had included a slot for the same in my time table itself so that I skip it for any reason.
  • Keep yourself motivated: You should keep yourself motivated but at the same time avoid motivational videos from the social media sites. You know you can be your best motivator.
  • Revise: Revising things from time to time helps you boost your confidence. I recommend PREPCA’s Test Series, you can choose any you prefer just make sure they help you track your progress and provide answer-wise detailed analysis report.
  • Never give up: Consistency is the key ingredient in this profession. You may be tired, may feel like giving up but then just think “Why did you start in the first place?”.

So, one may study 5 subjects a day or one may study just a subject or two in a day. But in the end, all that matters is how well you handle it.

Happy Studying!

Why is the Chartered Accountancy course overrated?

-
  Let us assume 1000 people decide to do CA. They appear for  CPT . Only 40% pass.  400 survive They appear for  IPCC . Only 12% pass.  48 survive They appear for  Final CA.  Only 8% pass.  ~4 survive Out of 1000 people who entered the industry, with dreams in their eyes and aspirations of being CA’s, a mere 0.4% were able to achieve it. Now they have to compete to get jobs! Between IPCC and Final CA, your schedule looks like this - Weekdays - 7 to 10 - Attend college in the morning 11 to 8 - Slog in the office By the time you reach home, you realize you got CA stuff to revise, any pending office work to do, you need to talk to your friends (If you still have them), follow your hobbies, etc. Weekends - 6–7 hour classes. For some people even Saturday is working, totally screwing up their work-life balance. Oh wait, for that a CA student needs to have a life! Add to this - outstation audits, college fests you have participated in, any other course you are pursuing and if you are in Mumba

 Is it okay to start practice immediately after clearing the CA final? I have done my articleship in my home town where I want to open my own firm. Generally, it takes about 3 years to break even, if you set up your practice. Kindly note that there are only 3.13 lakh Chartered Accountants in India a of 1.4.2019, of which there are only 1.34 lakh Chartered Accountants in full time practice. For nearly a US$ 3 trillion economy of India, the number of Chartered Accountants in Practice in India is deplorably low. However, the expectations of the different sectors from Chartered Accountants in practice is different, and you will take a couple of years to get to know the nuances of the client expectations on the one hand, and develop required professional skill sets to deftly balance between growth and diversity. Having said that, it will be relatively better, if you are able to become a partner of an existing CA firm, so that you get rich exposure in diverse sectors, different regions and i
