Chartered Accountancy is a statutory and highly valued professional qualification. Even if you acquire it in the age of 25 years, it would not make much of a difference in your career. Getting a level job in a chartered accountancy or financial consultancy firm would not be a problem. The same is true for the corporate organizations and other Management consultancy firms, which generally ask for people around 25 years of age for entry level jobs. For the public sector companies and government sector companies like banks, and insurance companies, the upper age limit for entry level jobs are 28 years. For jobs with Government of India or State Governments, the upper age limit is 30 years. So, if you become a Chartered Accountant in the age of 25, you would not have any problem in pursuing a career. Plus your MBA degree, though by correspondence, will be a good additional qualification for getting a job.
