Dilemma between economics honours and CA
I see a number of opportunities after economics honours like MBA in finance or masters in economics and the IES examination and when it comes to CA, i have no accounting background as i studied PCM with economics in 12th.is CA an option for me now or in future?

Hi Anmol, well lot of people who are from science are opting CA nowadays. Since you have such an option in your mind go for accounting classes now itself. And you have a great advantage over the science students which is knowledge in Economics. You can pursue both at once. Opt CA and do your Honours through distance. ICAI do provide such an option to CA students. Ultimate decision is yours.
Hope this helped you -
You are talking about two different careers here. A Chartered Accountant is the financial custodian of a company. You need to have an intrinsic liking for the subject if you want to make your career in this line. To be successful as an economist, you need to have a research bent of mind. Apart from this, your basic understanding of various concepts in economics, has to be very clear -
Anmol i will advice u can concentrate only one course u can go ca then focus only for ca otherwise 2 course is not completed in one time -

9 years agoCA and Economics knowledge can be a good combination. Focus 80% on CA studies and 20% on Economics honors. Economics will teach you what is finance, CA will teach you how to manage finance. Both are great courses. Good for long term -
I would like Govind_S to share his opinion. -
