The Hindu Business Line : What after standard X?

I have appeared for class X exams this year. Can the CA entrance be taken after class X. I would like to know what undergraduate courses are offered abroad. I study in the Manav Sthali school in Delhi. Should I change schools. The school offers entrepreneurship as a subject in commerce. What is its scope?

A full-time bachelors degree is desirable even if you want to pursue CA. This will help you later. The CA Institute is planning to introduce a common proficiency test for those who have passed Class X.

If you are keen on studying abroad, you can defer your decision of doing CA till you finish your under graduation. You could look at top institutes that offer undergraduate business programmes like Wharton and MIT Sloan. After that, you could explore the option of doing MBA/CPA. If entrepreneurship interests you, you can take this subject. However, studying it in class XII will not make much difference.

There may not be any need for you to change schools. Work hard and aspire to be the school topper. Do not worry too much about your career at this stage. Make a careful assessment of your academic potentials and decide accordingly.
