It all depends on your career goal and passion along with aptitude. If you are very logical, has a good memory, love reading a lot, can organise yourself well and love accounting, taxation, laws , calculations,etc., you should opt for CA. CA is very tough. Only 3 percent of all the candidates qualify CPT in the first attempt. The reason is commitment, dedication and aptitude to do the course. If you want to make a career in accounts, finance, MIS, treasury, etc., then there is no substitute for CA. However, if you want to make your career in marketing, sales, branding, advertising, HR or in any other business function and you have very good communication skills and creativity, you should opt for BMS. Currently, the average salary of a BMS graduate is 12000 per month approx., and for a fresher (CA) it is 40, 000 per month. Salary should be your second priority.

You need to have minimum 60% marks at Higher and Senior Secondary level (10th and 12th) and Minimum 60% aggregate in PCM (Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics) at Senior Secondary level (12th)
