What does it take to be a CA topper?

Hard work and most importantly smart work is a key pre-requisite. If you wish to steer through the course and come out as an achiever. The coursework is very demanding. It may demand you efficient handling of 8 subjects at a time where every book would be of around 1000 pages. Apart from the course books, there would be a plethora of materials like previous year papers and mock papers which you need to analyze the patterns of past years questions and attempt and revise them at the same time. You would be doing an articleship, and maybe attend your college as well which would be adding up to it. To sum it up, if you wish to top this exam, you should be a hard worker with excellent time management skills who would never give up.

Hi, Getting into CA is easy, challenge is passing out In CA, the challenge is not getting into the course, it is passing out. Contrast this with an engineering candidate, whose real challenge is getting into a nice college, not passing out. Therefore, a lot of CA students get stuck up in the studies phase. This becomes a frustrating issue because after a certain age, other career options become limited. If we compare the ratio of engineers from reputed colleges to the ratio of CA Final pass-outs, maybe we get a better perspective. I may even argue that this ratio shall be the same. Less than 5% of commerce students become CAs; in the same manner, less than 5% of engineering students qualify from NITs/IITs. Therefore, CA is not tough because of low pass-percentage; it is tough because candidates get stuck in the later stages of their life. We need to, therefore, change our perspective. All the best.
