As a recently qualified CA, I can share that the actual time varies significantly based on individual circumstances. Here's the reality:Fastest route: 4.5 years (clearing all exams in first attempt)Average time: 5-6 years for most studentsExtended duration: 7+ years for those needing multiple attemptsFactors affecting duration:- Exam attempts - each failed attempt adds 6 months- Articleship flexibility - some firms allow more study leave- Integrated courses - B.Com + CA can save time- Personal circumstances - health, family situationsThe key is consistent preparation rather than rushing. Many students burnout trying to complete too quickly. It's better to plan for 5-6 years and maintain work-life balance throughout the journey.
