Chartered Accountancy (CA-ICAP).
Those who could not succeed in getting admission for mbbs must consider this option before considering any other option of medical sciences program.
(I would like to add those who are considering about private admission in mbbs must also give a thought to this field because if you can afford 8 to 10 million fees in your studies then definitely you have financil potential to do your own business as well)
CA is a supreme professional certification in the accountancy field not only in Pakistan but all over the world. Those students who have some analytical skills can make their choice.
I’ll shortly brief about the study courses and career perspective of CA for your reference.
