If you want to become a Chartered Accountant
If you want to become a Chartered Accountant (CA) after 10th (Arts/Commerce/Science), here’s what you should do step-by-step:
How to Become a CA After 10th (Path in India)
1. After 10th: Choose Commerce in 11th & 12th
Best Stream: Commerce with Accounts, Economics, and Business Studies (Arts/Science students can switch later, but Commerce is easier).
Alternative: If you’re in Arts/Science, you can still pursue CA but will need extra effort in Accounts.
2. Register for CA Foundation (After 12th)
After passing 12th, register for CA Foundation (1st level of CA).
Subjects:
Principles of Accounting
Business Laws
Quantitative Aptitude
Economics/Business Economics
3. Clear CA Foundation → Register for CA Intermediate
After passing CA Foundation, enroll in CA Intermediate (divided into 2 groups).
Subjects: Advanced Accounts, Taxation, Law, Auditing, etc.
4. Complete Articleship (3 Years Training)
After passing either one or both groups of CA Intermediate, start 3 years of Articleship (practical training) under a practicing CA.
5. Give CA Final Exams
After completing Articleship, appear for CA Final Exams (toughest level).
Once cleared, you become a Chartered Accountant (CA)!
Can Arts Students Become CA?
✅ Yes! Even if you take Arts after 10th, you can switch to CA after 12th by registering for CA Foundation. However, you’ll need to study Commerce subjects like Accounts & Economics separately.
Best Alternative If You Want Early Entry
Diploma in Accounting/Finance after 10th → Helps build a base for CA.
Direct Entry Route (If you score high in 12th) – You can skip CA Foundation and enter CA Intermediate directly (requires 55%+ in Commerce or 60%+ in Arts/Science).
