Answer 1

I am personally interested in two career fields which are as follows:-

1. Bechelors in commerce (B.COM)

2. Cost and management Accountant (CMA)

Both can be perused parallelly after 12th so it's really time saving for students and also less expensive then other courses in India..

B.com can be perused from any government colleges in India which is very cheap and teacher are so supportive and helpful .

3 years of graduation in B.com includes 6 semester and 1 internal in every semester . You can choose choose honours paper (core paper) according to your preference. For example you can choose Accountancy, Marketing, Ecconomics, and various others according to your preference , which will help in future career opportunities.

Students can also choose weather they want an regular college our non- attending college as per student's preference .

Parallelly , if student choose non attending college then he/she can persue CMA it has 3 level which are:-

A. Foundation

B. Intermediate

C. Final

A. In foundation level , it has four subjects namely, Maths and statistics , Economics and Management , Accounts and Cost, Law and ethics .

Foundation level , can be cracked by students without and couching , reason behind this is most of the subjects are already studied by student in previous studies in schools.

B. Intermediate level , it has two groups each has 4 subjects, in this level students should take couching , ICMA institute conduct couching classes for free in their chapters , and also in this level student have to do training in computer and soft skill training in their respective chapters.

C. Final level has two groups each containing four subjects and students have to do articleship .

Then after passing final level students are known as qualified CMA or Cost Accountant.

This job is really prestigious. And has various scope .
