Rescheduling of CA exam – How far good!

The recent announcement of rescheduling of CA exams from its scheduled month of May to June this year primarily due to the forthcoming elections is by and large being seen as a BIG RELIEF in the minds of the CA students who have planned to appear for the CA exams this May. The rescheduling includes for levels i.e. CA – PCC and CA – Final.

Some may look at this as an opportunity to brush up their studies and preparation as they would look forward to utilize this extra bit of time on the reschedule of the exams. This seem to be a blessing for students who have been very busy with their college studies or Articleship as this extra time would put them in a more comfortable zone. This extra time would make students plan or re plan their study timings so that they can look ahead to clear up the exams more confidently and easily.

However, it may also be noticed that any re schedule which is not planned may disturb the momentum of students who have the habit to plan their studies in time and who follow regular routine studies dedicatedly. Any stretch or a squeeze can be real bothering for students in various ways.

Some might get panic seeing a long stretch of nearly a month while others may have been got a big relief with the announcement of re schedule.

Getting excited on such news is a normal human behaviour. For some this excitement brings smile and to others it can also be an added tension. One must remember that any such re schedule should be looked in a more matured way and not in excitement. One needs to really be at his / her toes and look at things more seriously rather than being excited as that might distract students for a period of time which might be JUST long enough to take every thing even Lot far!

Any such unplanned developments are very serious issues and one must make sure that he or she does not get carried away in any desired anticipations.

Planning this extra time for your studies is of utmost importance so that the momentum you have built in month’s time does not get affected by this. Hence, be cautious and confident of your preparation. Nothing can stop you clear the exams and be a Leading Chartered Accountant of tomorrow if you are confident of your self and have a dedicated attitude toward your studies.

CA exams though considered to be tough to clear have been looked upon as the most demanding career option not only by students of commerce stream but also for students who looking for an alternative career being a science graduate / post graduate.

Demand for accountants and finance professionals in India and overseas although have surely taken a blow with the general downturn in the economy but still students with a long term vision have been choosing CA as their career option. To keep the intake of students growing even in these challenging times, the respective institutes like ICAI, ICSI, ICWAI have been constantly been thinking to so bring in more attractiveness in their course modules and also by showing their positive attitude to the masses by opening up themselves for external tie up with allied institutions across globe and also within the country.

The recent move of the ICAI to conduct the foundation examination (currently known as Common Proficiency test – CPT) as multiple choice examinations. Also the Institute has started off with conducting CPT Online so that students find it an upgradation of traditional concept of writing examinations by going to examination halls. What’s exciting to watch is will the same move be possible for other levels of the examination been conducted i.e. PCC and CA – Final.

CA/CS/CWA Preparation: Changing with the times

Increasing competition among CA/CS/CWA aspirants and the need to produce competent accountants, finance executives and commerce graduates demands structured preparation from students as well as sincerity from the students and their mentors.

IT’S GOOD to see that the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) has been taking various proactive steps to raise the standards of education in accounting and financial reporting from time to time, in keeping with global trends.

The shifting of focus in modern accounting from national to international accounting standards, the ICAI’s recent launch of an Accounting Technician course, and the ICAI’s plan to slowly and gradually make residential classes mandatory for students, as and when proper infrastructure comes up, are a few of the major recent developments that have kept the accounting world quite awake. This, even at this point of time, when opinions of experts on the short to mid-term economic performance of the nation are a bag of mixed thoughts.

The demand for accountants and finance executives for both tier 1 and tier 2 levels does not seem to have decreased, in the context of the recent economic developments. Every organization requires a helping hand, be it a Chartered Accountant or a MBA (Finance) professional or any other finance professional, in the form of the accounting/auditing/finance related work carried out by them on a day to day basis.

This has also necessitated an adequate inflow of tier 2 accounting professionals in the corporate world at all phases of a country’s economy. Hence, be it a B Com graduate, a semi Qualified CA / CS / CWA or a Qualified CA / CS / CWA or any other commerce Professional, everyone’s role is gaining importance in making efficient and optimum use of resources within an organisation.

Various timely attempts are being made by all relevant governing bodies to monitor the courses of the accounting/finance world, so as to regularly update the course curricula, syllabi etc, and ensure that students are exposed to the latest technical knowledge. This will help them easily perform at their best in the real life working conditions for which they have been trained during the course.

It has been understood that in line with its efforts to enhance the efficiency in conduct of examinations, the ICAI, for the first time, successfully conducted an online Common Proficiency Test (CPT) on December 7, 2008, in 11 major cities.

It has also been understood that the demand for chartered accountants is also on the rise. This is evident from the number of students who enrolled for the CA entrance exam i.e., the CPT, held on December 14, 2008.

These initiatives that are being taken by governing bodies across the country to help the country get better accountants and finance professionals have made it quite necessary for the entire student community to honor such steps by giving their best in the examinations. This would ultimately help them build a promising career ahead.

Also the increasing enrollments for the CA exams/ CS exams/ CWA exams etc and peer pressure have not only led students to be very sincere in their preparation for the exams but also necessitates sincerity from the mentors, who act as useful guides for the students, as well as keeping themselves updated with the latest developments and students’ requirements.

Be it coaching centers, private tuition or other mentors (like Eduex) organizing mock exam for the students of CA/CS/CWA courses, everyone needs to respond to the changing course dynamics, so as to make the best curriculum structure, as they too play a important role in helping the examinees be confident of their preparation right from the beginning. This would help achieve better results for students and would at least help complacent students, who are satisfied with their performance levels and expect easier performance ahead, to be ready for any kind of surprise.

Coaching for Chartered Accountants, Company Secretaries and Cost Accountants Exams

Trying hard to get through the Professional Exams in commerce stream like Chartered Accountancy, Company Secretary and Cost & Works Accountants? Results not behaving the way you want them to?

We all know very well that getting through the various levels of these courses offered by the respective institutes of ICAI, ICSI and ICWAI have always been a difficult task for all of us. The Question that arises – Is it really that challenging task or a tough task or is it BOTH tough and challenging?

Why it so happens that even if we are satisfied with our performances on the examination days still we are unable to make it!  Is it because of the increasing examination pressure? Or the peer pressure? Or would it be wrong if it is said that it’s just we aren’t prepared the way we should have been as these professional examinations demand.

We all try our best to prepare for the examinations be it for CPT/Foundation courses or for the Final levels of Chartered Accountants, Company Secretaries, Cost and Works Accountants. It becomes even more difficult for students to come out confidently when the graduation classes & Articleships/Practical Trainings are going on parallel. Even when we know we are running short of time to do our studies for these professional courses we have no choice but to still manage to steal some time out for the coaching classes of various important subjects which has become of utmost importance in today’s competitive examination scenario.

We all more or less do all this for clearing our examinations. Have we ever thought that why it happens that only VERY FEW of us get through the exams in the term we expect us to clear ESPECIALLY when we all put the same amount of hard work and attend the same coaching classes?

Considering the above time crunch that we face with the on going articleship, coaching classes etc we end up postponing our self studies towards the end. Hence, we actually start preparing for the respective examination during our preparation leaves or when we are through with our coaching classes. Under such a situation, we actually unknowingly put ourselves in tremendous pressure & in a difficult position which is quite visible on the faces of most of us when we are sitting to write the papers.

What we learn from this simple factual statement as narrated above that the MOST important thing which we all generally skip is timely and regularly preparing for the examinations which at one end would help us complete our courses in time BUT at the other end will also lead to a better temperament and confidence levels that is required for the FINAL DAY!.

When the reasons of our NOT “up to the mark” performance in the professional exams is so clear, then what is the solution to this?
Friends, the solution is also as clear as the problem itself. We just need to structure our preparation time table in a better way and which is spread over a longer duration before the final day! That’s it!

To fight with the current situation, the MOCK TEST SOLUTIONS offered by Eduex is gaining tremendous importance among the commerce students community (students of Chartered Accountants – Company Secretaries – Cost & Work Accountants courses).

Eduex.in, an initiative taken by few of the Finance Professionals has been brought into existence with this noble cause of assisting students to develop and execute a more structured preparation time table for their studies which not only helps them prepare for the examinations within minimum time but also helps student develop the CORRECT Temperament & confidence which is of utmost importance for clearing professional examinations which day by day are gaining intense competition levels. Last but not the least, the feedback on the performances in the MOCK TESTS directly from the pen of the ACADEMIC COUNCIL team of Eduex is doing wonders for students.

Wish you all – All the Very Best for your future endeavors!
