On Question asked by student community
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:
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.
CS (Company Secretary):
If you are interested in company law, compliance, and legal work, CS is a good choice.
CMA (Cost Management Accounting):
If you like accounting and cost management, CMA is another strong course.
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.
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.
Banking and Finance Courses:
You can go for professional programs in banking, stock market, or investment analysis.
Hope it helps !
