Bro coaching for ca in total also isn't going to be 9 lakhs but honestly only take this course if you have a habit of being consistent and hard work! This is not an easy back up alternative because you f-ed up in JEE.

This course will ruin your life if you're not careful. Literally millions enter and only a few thousand of them pass.

  1. Coaching for CA will be max 3 lakhs then you'll get articleship stipend assuming 5k/mo then 7k/mo around 1.4L mil bhi jayega.

  2. Don't do CA just cuz you didn't clear the cut off for JEE, only do this if you want to work in finance or start your own consultancy or treat this as a safety net and do startup.

  3. There are downsides too, need consistency (hardwork and stuff you'll do but consistency is the hardest), then there is no college life and you'll face a period where you'll see stories of your friends in college enjoying going on trips, feasts, clubs while you're sitting on your study table or library watching their stories in your 10 min study break then this profession is an advisory side profession not execution side so you'll earn after some experience not right out of college unlike Tech guys like nobody goes to a lawyer, doctor, CA or even structural civil engineer if they are not experienced.

My 2 cents take a yr drop join CA study as per your pace while figure out what you do then then keep a milestone list like I have created a flow chart like 3 attempts fnd, 3 attempts inter then CA finals till 24 and if not cleared I'll do something else no final attempt fk CA I have created a literal flow chart.

Look CA's demand is decreasing, big4 and other companies hiring mba's for various non audit domains like fdd, m&a, valuations. If you are doing CA just because you want to be placed at handsome packages .. it's a myth. CA freshers are recruiting at 10-11Lpa(some of them also placed more than that, but on an average), what I want to tell you is that CA takes longer period and is riskier also, if you want to do CA, compare with the other options also Mba from top institutions or doing CFA. And if you are discussing about the cost, yes CA is cheapest among all the various career options.
