Hello,

If you’ve given the CA Foundation exam three times and still couldn’t clear it, don’t worry, there are many good alternatives you can go for. Here are some options you can consider:

  1. B.Com (Bachelor of Commerce):
    You can continue your studies with B.Com. It gives you a strong base in accounts, finance, and business, and you can go for other professional courses later.

  2. CS (Company Secretary):
    If you are interested in company law, compliance, and legal work, CS is a good choice.

  3. CMA (Cost Management Accounting):
    If you like accounting and cost management, CMA is another strong course.

  4. BBA (Bachelor of Business Administration):
    This course is good if you are interested in management and business studies. It also opens options for an MBA later.

  5. Accounting and Finance Diplomas or Certifications:
    You can do short-term courses like Tally, GST, Financial Modelling, or Digital Accounting. These help you get job-ready faster.

  6. Banking and Finance Courses:
