Need Advice - Should i do CMA? - Koolestboy - 06-25-2005

i have given exams of 2nd year Intermediate .. now confuse what to do next, i am interested in commerce side .. becuase i am also doing job as a Assistant accountant .. they are like teaching me and take their work ..

I am thinking of doing ICMA , is this possible to join ICMA after 2nd year .. one of my frd told me that it is possible but then u have to study all subjects means without exemption ..

But Is this possible to Clear ICMA , as i am doing a job of 9 to 5
i am not interested in CA , i know CA is best , but it will take a lot of time ..
Please Advice me what to do .. and do comment more about ICMA ..
and please let me that is there any need to join some tutor or coaching center for ICMA , because you know college's condition are not good with point of view of studying ..

and what about JOB chances in ICMA ?
and please let me know that how much time BCOM will take .. i mean i have listened that fron this year BCOM will take 3 or 4 years in first attempt . is it true ?

AamiR..

Dear Aamir.

Graduation is must for ICMA.
BCom will only take 2 years and it is accepted by ICMAP as graduate qualification. U can also try CIMA. Its equivalent to ICMA & gives full exemption of ICMA.
CIMA takes 2.5 years to pass & u will get ICMAP membership also.
Is there is any confusion, u can contact me.

i dont know about F2 and others ...
anywayz .. if you are right then i have to surve atleast 5.5 or 6 years more .. then why not MBA ... which one will be the best

you can get admission in CA after inter but you have to clear CAT first but if you believe me dont go from this way as i have seen so many cases tat people stuck in CA and they remain only inter
