10 things which an MBA aspiring CA must know- Simran Somani - CA| IIM A...











  1. How to get CA Articleship at Big 4 , in her case PwC Chennai . How to crack CA Final in first attempt? And later during CA placements and IIM interviews, does the brand help. What about those who aren’t either of rankers and/Big 4? Can they get selected?
  2. Do CAs have a percentile relaxation when it comes to getting shortlisted? What is the minimum percentile needed for a call? How Simran got a call with a 97ish percentile because of her CA?
  3. Impact of Under-graduation from IGNOU through distance learning? How IGNOU gives you the average of CPT and Inter marks as your graduation score, if you are pursuing CA? How that impacts your CAT Application Score
  4. Which was tougher — CA or CAT ? Can hardworking people without exceptional IQ crack the CAT?
  5. Which study material to follow? Which Test Series? Importance of Mock Exams
  6. When is the right time to attempt the CAT if you are a CA final student (Not qualified yet)? And what if you are a freshly qualified CA (May attempts)
  7. How is the IIM Ahmedabad interview experience? Is it ok to feel stressed?
  8. What about the opportunity cost of 2 years’ salary foregone plus the fees? So, say you are earning in the 15–20 lacs p.a. brackets? Does the economics of MBA work out? Or should one not just think myopic and take a longer term view
  9. Importance of extra-curriculars — The Unconventional MBA — your “CAT to Call to Convert” motto?
  10. Importance of Networking

When the suggested answers matched with your certified copy and you still dont get the marks, you have every right to feel cheated In the manual method, however, there will be issues Asking working professionals to come to the centralised centres also doesnt help - ICAI empanels a) CAs with 4+ yrs b) University Lecturers/Professors with 5+ years \ c) CWA, ACS, M.Com, Post Graduates in Economics or Law, Lawyers, IT Professionals, MBA (Finance) etc with 5+ yrs exp Now asking that person to come to a centralised hall for 25 days * 8 working hours = 200 hours to properly evaluate a lot of 400 scripts ( assuming a standard time of 30 minutes for 1 script) is also possibly quite an issue. How will the professional justify this disrupti...
