Hi,
As you mentioned that you have interest in travel & tourism and aviation, you can first look for entry level jobs in travel agencies such as Cleartrip, Makemytrip, Eezego Tours, booking.com, etc. They hire hotel management graduates for their Hotel Sales department. If you don't get any of these, you can go for an MBA in Travel and tourism as it will open the whole travel industry for you and you can secure job in a leading travel agency. You can also do a 6-month Diploma in Ticketing from IATA, It can fetch you a job as a ticketing/reservation agent in travel agencies or airlines. For Aviation, you can apply for cabin crew position in airlines. Hotel Management graduates are given preference over others generally. So, you have that advantage as well. Apart from tourism and Aviation, you can also join QSR and Retail industry. If the QSRs come in your campus then its good, if not you can call the company talk to the HR, send your CV and apply directly. Start using Linkedin, Naukri.com, Monster.com if you don't. There are multiple options available for HM graduates. All the best.

Hi Jyotishmita,
The basic aim behind the test is to check the aptitude for the CA course, you would be undertaking. Some easy and very doable tips for cracking the CA CPT June 2018 test include:
1. Since you need to score at least 30 per cent in all subjects, remember that you need to concentrate on all subjects so that you can qualify the basics for all subjects. This is a recent change because until now the rules were overall than subject wise.
2. Since you are appearing for a CA paper remember that Accounting is the key. If your basics in accounts are clear, your chances of clearing the examination automatically rise. Make sure you practice the subject well and learn your theory too.
3. Another important prospect for CPT is the Mercantile Law. After accounts it is referred to as most scoring subject. Again, don't fret just calmly practice and learn the Contract Act as well.
4. Although economics as a whole is scoring and easy in comparison to other subjects and in this too try and complete Macro Economics first as it is more scoring?
5. Although some get flustered in mathematics and statistics but remember that not all topics are the same. There are some easier than others and so try and complete the ones learnt during your school terms. In statistics try and complete Differentiation and integration, Correlation and regression and theoretical distribution as these are important.
6. Although some are of the opinion that you should not be attempting the whole paper but the logic defies this belief. Attempt questions you are sure off. Only later try your hand at the parts you are not sure about. Most importantly study with planning. Don't haphazardly study anything. Make a system and then adhere to it.
