Education and Career Forum

I am a student of 10th CBSE. I have recently given the board examination in March. I want to know in which board I should enroll myself in 11th std so that I could get better opportunities and more benefits to do the CA course. SO, I WANT TO KNOW WHICH FIELD I SHOULD ENROLL MYSELF?

1. If your ultimate goal is to become a Chartered Accountant then you need to opt for Commerce stream in standard 11th.

2. Now coming to board, Central Board of Secondary Education will be the best board for your stream as well as in terms of securing higher marks.

From standard 11th onwards, focus on subjects like Accountancy, Economics etc so that you can easily crack CPT exam of CA course which is the first stage in first attempt after 12th board exams.

Anybody who have passed class 12th from science/commerce/arts stream are eligible to opt for CA course, but students having commerce stream with mathematics and account subjects get more benefits as subjects of commerce stream are similar to entrance exam of CA course.

CA Course
