Hi!I am in final stage of Chartered Accountancy and company secretary course but want to appear for Indian Economic Service in future.So,kindly guide me which PG course should I pursue in Economics to be eligible for above exam and how can the qualification of CA/CS help me in above field.
Moreover, CA is recognised as equivalent to PG degree to pursue Phd. course directly and therefore is it possible to appear in above exam after becoming CA but without PG in economics?
Kindly resolve this issue ...
regards
