The former ICAI President, Ranjeet Agarwal stated that India will need over 30 lakh Chartered Accountants by 2047 — the centenary of India’s independence. Currently, ICAI has around four lakh members and eight and a half lakh active students. To meet the 30 lakh target, the institute needs to produce over 1,30,000 CA’s every year.

There is a general notion that the Chartered Accountancy course is one of the toughest to pursue. The emotional and mental strain of studying long hours a day, for months, is intense. While CA students feel it is somewhat tough, experts say it can be completed without any difficulty if a proper strategy is adopted from the start to the finish in terms of preparation.

To discuss tips and strategy for CA exam preparation, The Hindu will host a webinar titled, ‘Toppers, ICAI explain how to crack CA exam’, on June 27, 5:00 p.m. Register now for free to ask questions and interact with the panellists. The three best questions will receive a free online subscription to The Hindu.
