Education and Career Forum

I have completed my B.Com. Now I have to 2 option. Which one is better CA/M.Com? Lastly, which job is better becoming a Charted Accountant or Income Tax Officer?

Income tax officer is a government job and Chartered Accountant has more scope in private sector. If you are a person who likes to take challenges in life then you can choose Chartered Accountancy course. It will offer you handsome salary and better career growth.

Bachelor of commerce candidates with 55% marks or more can directly apply Integrated Professional Competence course. It is second stage of CA course. CA course has more scope as compared to Master of Commerce.

Some of the professional courses after Bachelor's degree in commerce:

Chartered Accountancy.

ICWA course.

Company Secretary course.

Master of Business Administration.

Chartered Accountancy is better course than Master of Commerce. In any case government job has an upper edge in our Indian society.

If you follow the trend of majority of candidates then you should go for Chartered Accountancy course. The selection of career after bachelor's degree should be done on candidate's own interest. There are many entrance exams for which candidates can apply after in order to government job.

Income Tax officer is government job. It is far better than Chartered Accountant job.

** CA stands for Chartered Accountant.

** As per my knowledge you can go for Chartered Accountant course after completing B.Com course.

Salary after Chartered Accountant.

1. Starting Salary = Rs. 25,000 to Rs. 30,000

2. After some experience = Rs.1,00,000 per month.

You have to decide it that in which stream you are interested that is either M.Com or CA.
But if you want to become an Income Tax Officer then you have to crack entrance examination of Income Tax which is conducted on the basis of graduation.

Career opportunities after M.Com/CA are as follows:-
BSNL
NSIC
HECL
SSC
Bank
Railways
Metro
Accountant
Auditor
Cashier

CA is better option.
