CURRENT TREND OF CA STUDENTS ACROSS INDIA Total No. of CA Students ACROSS INDIA Details of students opting for B.Com. Correspondence IN Mumbai Details of students opting for B.Com. correspondence OUTSIDE Mumbai Stage No. of students per stage No. of students In Mumbai Percentage of students for Correspondence No. of students outside Mumbai Percentage of students for Correspondence CPT 2,50,000 26,000* 5%* 2,24,000 60% IPCC 1,15,000 12,500 20% 1,02,500 85% Final 55,000 6,000 20% 49,000 85% *Majority of Mumbai students take CPT immediately post 12 th (June attempt), unlike outside Mumbai (December attempt). Hence the ratio is low at 5%. approximate indicative numbers per annum The trend of CA student pursuing B.Com. via Distance Education even in Mumbai is rising rapidly @ 40% - 50% YoY in the recent past, since the advent of IPCC. It will be at par with all India trends in the next 2-3 years.

Slide 6:

CURRENT TREND OF CA STUDENTS ACROSS INDIA Causes of high percentage of students opting for B.Com. correspondence outside Mumbai Causes of low percentage of students opting for B.Com. Correspondence in Mumbai Regular college timings normally from 8.00 am to 1.00 pm or 2.00 pm to 7.00 pm Regular college timings normally from 7.00 am to 12.00 noon Very effective implementation of minimum 75% attendance as per UGC / AICTE norms in all colleges Comparatively poor implementation of minimum 75% attendance (UPTO LAST YEAR) as per UGC / AICTE norms in most colleges. NO MORE NOW, DUE TO INTERNAL ASSESSMENTS & 60-40 PATTERN. Difficult connectivity between college : CA firm: Private coaching institute / ICAI location Comparatively better connectivity between college : CA firm: Private coaching institute / ICAI location The trend of CA student pursuing B.Com. via Distance Education even in Mumbai is rising rapidly @ 40% - 50% YoY in the recent past, since the advent of IPCC. It will be at par with all India trends in the next 2-3 years.

Slide 7:

Causes of high percentage of students opting for B.Com. correspondence outside Mumbai Causes of low percentage of students opting for B.Com. Correspondence in Mumbai 20% local students. 80% out station students. 85% local students. 15% out station students. Correspondence B.Com. is a way of life for CA students. Correspondence B.Com. is perhaps considered a social illusion amongst the CA students. However this option is catching up amongst CA students of Mumbai. CURRENT TREND OF CA STUDENTS ACROSS INDIA B.Com. from a specific College / University is just another step (OPTIONAL/PREFERABLE) towards the ultimate milestone of being a CHARTERED ACCOUNTANT ! B.Com. / Any other graduation is not compulsory for CA course as per ICAI guidelines.

Slide 8:

ELIGIBILITY FOR C.A. TECHNICALLY (OPTIONAL) PRACTICALLY (PREFERABLE) As per ICAI guidelines, entry level minimum qualification is 12 th std/HSC to pursue CA education & to Practice/take -up Employment As per MT C recommendation, Considering the eligibility for Post graduate ( M.Com .)/ Masters Degree (MBA/MMS)/ Ph.D courses etc., it is advisable to obtain a graduation degree from any stream/any mode which will take care of the eligibility criteria of all universities.

Slide 9:

B.Com. from full time college of Mumbai University B.Com. via Distance Education of Mumbai University B.Com. via Distance Education of Annamalai University 4 to 5 hours of college every day (ATTENDANCE COMPULSORY FROM THIS YEAR) _ _ F.Y.B.Com. / S.Y.B.Com. Internals (almost) every week + terminals / final exams for 15-20 days during October & March F.Y.B.Com. / S.Y.B.Com. exams for 10-15 days during March / April F.Y.B.Com. / S.Y.B.Com. exams for 6-8 days during end of May (from 19 th May) COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS FOR B.Com.

ALUMNI SPEAK Vivek Patel (IPCC May’11) Bhhavya Gogri (IPCC May’11) “If C.A. is your ultimate goal, joining AU B.Com. is the perfect path to clear it. It will let you concentrate 100% towards C.A.” “I was very happy to hear that MTC has tied up with AU. At a point of time, I was unable to decide that I should give both the groups because of the tight schedule of the whole routine. And then the college exam will leave me with no time to study for IPCC in March. But, after I joined AU, then I had a lot of time and I was able to appear for both the groups. It gave me the most important thing : ‘TIME’. I was confident and was prepared for the exams. I am thankful to MT for such a program.”

ALUMNI SPEAK Gary Fernandes (IPCC May’11) Sohil Jala (IPCC May’11) “When this presentation of Annamalai University was made during the last Year in MTC we were the students of IPCC. We found the F.Y.B.Com. Twinning Program of Annamalai University very comfortable, easy and relaxing. Because of the simple nature of the syllabus and student friendly pattern of question papers, we had to put practically no efforts.” “If a student has the determination and passion to succeed C.A. in the first attempt itself, then it is most advisable to join AU B.Com. It made me give my 100% focus towards IPCC without any distraction from college lectures, projects & compulsory attendance .”
