Back
Journey to CA entails navigating a complex and rigorous process. The road is long, you might face obstructions midway, but the challenge is to cross them all to reach the final destination- CA. Hence, it is common to have misconceptions and make mistakes in this process, but it is also important to know the misconceptions and unlearn the mistakes.
Common Misconceptions & Mistakes of CA students:
Becoming CA is the Final Destination
Believing that a CA degree alone is sufficient to succeed is another mistake.
Once CA is complete, one should be open to study further to enhance skills; It could be an MBA, or another professional course or even something on Coursera / Udemy. A Belief that CA is the peak of education in one’s life as it is tough or it took a lot of time to complete is improper.
Why CA Students Need Tech Skills for Success
Technological changes like AI, IoT, AR that we are witnessing today will change the way of life for all of us; and accounting / finance will not be immune to this change. CA curriculum does a poor job of preparing students for this change. The students are the eventual sufferers (using FB / WhatsApp do not qualify as being up to date on technology…😊). Students neglect everything else that is happening in the world when they are studying for CA – that is a mistake.
Internships are not so important
Not choosing internship, and instead sitting at home by preferring dummy internship or choosing an extremely small firm for internship is another big mistake. The 2 years of internship are extremely valuable; they enable one to build a network of peers, friends & colleagues, gain knowledge of various sectors, interact with people, understand the profession, and of course often give the intern a chance to travel and see the country / world - missing out on all of this is another mistake.
