How far is CS difficult in comparison to CA?

CA involves study of diverse subjects ranging from Accounts to Law to Taxation to Financial Management. CS is primarily concentrated on Law. Though other subjects like Accounts & Taxation are part of CS curriculum they are not covered in depth. CS is relatively easier in the sense it is more flexible. In CS if you score above 60 marks in a subject you need not write that subject again for lifetime however in CA this exemption is restricted to 3 attempts or 1.5 years. CS offers certain exemption from subjects on basis of qualifications like CMA, LL.B. Etc. CA offers no such exemptions. Further it is compulsory to complete training in CA in order to write final exam and get the membership certificate. Training has to be under a practising CA only. There is no such requirement for CS. CS can complete his training after his Final under a practising CS or a notified Company. The duration of training of CS is also lower than CA articleship. Having said that both the courses are professional courses and offer excellent career prospects.

Hi Vidushi! As far as I have heard, CA is a bit tougher than CS. But again you can't actually compare between CA and CS on the basis of difficulty! It completely depends on your interest and calibre! If you love law then go for CS. and if finance go for CA. If you really love something, you won't find it difficult. Enjoy what you do! I hope you find success in what you choose. Best wishes!
