CA, CS and CMA courses are referred to as Professional Courses in the field of Commerce. These courses are the best qualifications in the Commerce field and one of the best qualifications in India across various streams. These courses are also one of the best options for commerce students after passing their 12th className.
CA, CS and CMA courses impart an in-depth knowledge of various subjects in Commerce and Finance which include Accounts, Tax, Company Law, Financial Management, Financial Markets, Audit and Cost Accounting. As a result of this, the students who pass these courses and become Chartered Accountants (CAs) or Company Secretaries (CS) or Cost & Management Accountants (CMAs) are in huge demand in India and abroad.
CA profession is regulated by The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (www.icai.org)
CMA profession is regulated by The Institute of Cost Accountants of India (www.icmai.in)
CS profession is regulated by The Institute of Company Secretaries of India (www.icsi.edu)
Advantages of pursuing CA, CS or CMA include:
There are students who have completed their professional course of CA by the age of 22 years and CS / CMA by 21 years. This means that one can complete CA, CS and CMA along with his/ her degree education as well. The above age assumption is on the basis that one completes all levels of CA, CS and CMA in their first attempt.
A Professional is someone who has an in-depth knowledge of specific areas and such knowledge is recognised, accredited or approved by a competent authority like Government, University or Board. In case of Commerce, Government of India, through acts passed in parliament instituted 3 professional qualifications - Chartered Accountancy, Cost and Management Accountancy and Company Secretary Courses. All 3 qualifications are regarded as professional qualifications and the people who have these qualifications are authorised with wide ranging powers to practice in the field of commerce, finance and management.

The below are the benefits of pursuing CA, CS and CMA courses while pursuing degree studies –
In Commerce stream, there are more than 25 Lakhs students passing out from B.Com and BBA every year. So number of people trying for jobs is more compared to the available jobs for degree students and salary is also less.

So just completing a degree and finding a job is tough whereas if you complete CA, CS and CMA courses, you move away from being chosen for a job to choosing a job.
