I passed MBA in HR after that i do nothing i want start something my own what i can do now. I have 2 acres of land on road side in Darbhanga Bihar. Please guide me

Ans: Gaurav, I have previously elucidated the primary reasons for my inability to pass the CA Exams despite multiple attempts. The Chartered Accountancy (CA) program may not be the right fit for everyone, so consider your strengths, interests, alternative high-earning career paths in finance, and non-finance career paths with high earning potential. Alternative high-earning careers include Investment Banking, Corporate Finance, Financial Planning & Wealth Management, and Non-Finance career paths with high earning potential. Shorter, practical certification programs can help you quickly enter high-paying fields without extensive education. If CA is no longer a fit, consider other certifications, high-paying fields in tech or management, or short-term courses in cybersecurity, cloud computing, or digital marketing. All the BEST for your Prosperous Future.

Ans: Amit Sir, A CPA (Certified Public Accountant) at the age of 37 can be a viable option for those without formal accounting experience. The CPA is a globally recognized certification that can open doors to various roles in accounting, auditing, and finance. It provides a solid foundation and increases credibility in the finance or accounting industry. However, there are challenges, such as the learning curve and experience requirements.

To overcome these, you could supplement with basic accounting courses and work experience. Alternative courses you can consider include Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA), Financial Risk Management (FRM), Certified Management Accountant (CMA), Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) or MBA, and Digital Marketing or E-Commerce.

CFA and FRM are globally recognized credentials that can lead to roles in finance, investment banking, or wealth management. CMA professionals are in high demand in banks, investment firms, and large corporations. MBAs can help transition into management or higher-level positions, while digital marketing or e-commerce can offer opportunities for entrepreneurship and business growth.

Age should not be a barrier for you in pursuing any course or certification. Leveraging prior experience, such as management, customer relations, and strategic thinking, can also benefit a corporate role. In conclusion, pursuing a CPA at the age of 37 is a viable option, but preparation and experience are essential.

All the BEST for your Prosperous Future.

Ans: Shri, Some basic reasons for failing CA exams include poor time management, inadequate conceptual clarity, poor presentation skills, neglecting revision, and lack of practice with mock exams. To improve, create a realistic study schedule, focus on crucial topics, practice time-bound mock tests, and use reference books and ICAI study materials. Practice structured answers and follow ICAI language to align with exam expectations. Avoid rote learning and focus on understanding the "why" and "how" behind concepts. Take multiple mock tests and review performance critically to identify weak areas. Stay motivated by setting short-term goals and rewarding yourself for achieving them.

Ans: Anirvinna, The University Grants Commission (UGC) and other regulatory bodies in India have made significant efforts to ensure that distance education degrees are treated as equivalent to regular degrees. The UGC states that degrees obtained through distance or online education from recognized institutions are equivalent to regular degrees, applicable for both government and private sector jobs. The Distance Education Bureau (DEB) ensures the quality of distance education programs and oversees compliance. Distance education degrees are valid for all government jobs, professional courses, and private sector acceptance. However, some organizations may prioritize candidates with regular degrees for certain roles due to perceptions of classroom rigor or networking opportunities. The UGC has encouraged universities to offer quality online programs, reducing the stigma associated with correspondence education. To enhance career prospects, consider pursuing correspondence programs from well-reputed institutions with strong alumni networks and industry connections. All the BEST for your Prosperous Future.
