What's the story

Chartered Accountancy (CA) is one of the most sought-after professional courses. The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India provides the three-level program comprising Foundation, Intermediate, and Final.

Foundation is the entry-level examination in CA program. After Class-12, students can register for Foundation course; next, they should complete a study period of at least four months.

Here are some tips to prepare for CA Foundation.

#1

Have a subject-wise preparation strategy to ace all 4 papers

CA Foundation consists of four subjects/papers: Principles and Practices of Accounting (subjective), Business Laws and Business Correspondence and Reporting (subjective), Business Mathematics and Logical Reasoning & Statistics (objective), and Business Economics & Business and Commercial Knowledge (objective).

Since two papers are subjective in nature and the other two are objective, aspirants must have a subject-wise preparation strategy and approach to ace every paper.
