ICAI is planning to make CA course simpler by removing some subjects. If this happens would it be a right decision? (Source Internal)

The following is my response to what CA Yogesh Verma, Associate Relationship Manager, IndusInd Bank has written above. He is conducting a vote with readers having to respond with a Yes or No.

CA Yogesh Verma - The bad things continue to happen in our community defined as Chartered Accountants and CA students. Given below are some of them but not in any order.

1. CA course is made still simpler. As updated by you.

2. Remove some subjects. As updated by you.

3. Do not introduce the case study method of learning. You can refer to the MBA syllabus and question papers in individual subjects to understand what this is. It is used and applicable to all MBA courses pan India.

4. Do not introduce the case study method of teaching.

5. Continue with the outdated MCQ pattern of exams (for any professional course) from Foundation till the CA final exams.

6. Continue with another outdated idea of a combination of half subjects in a professional course as important as this. Example. IPCC Paper-7. Enterprise Information Systems and Strategic Management. Or Information Technology and Strategic Management.

You may note here that Strategic Management is a very important and a compulsory subject in the MBA syllabus pan India. A subject I have taught for a decade till 2013 in some of the best business schools in Mumbai and Delhi NCR. 

But it seems for Chartered Accountants it isn't.
