Some weird habits of CA students

This is an interesting post on some weird habits of CA students. It is a quick and fun read and I am sure will leave a little smile on your face as you read and rewind your memories. Read on...



I happened to read an interesting post on Quora, written by Vinita Punjabi. Sharing it here with some changes of my own.

  • Setting multiple alarms because morning FR lectures are as important as hell. If we miss the class, “naalayokon” keeps haunting in our dreams.

  • Arranging papers in order and filing them neatly to avoid any hassle. Not to forget about the precision with which they are stapled together. Yes, we are that particular.

  • It’s a budget for other fellow Indians. It is BUDGET for us. We jot down amendments like hungry dogs because anything can be asked in paper.

  • Doing cost-benefit analysis even for buying a pair of shoes from Amazon.

  • Day-dreaming about college life, and then saying khair chodo (just leave) while filing annual returns.


  • Living on coffee/ tea during audit season/ exam days.

  • Making timetables. We are pro at it. We have varieties. 2 yearly, yearly, quarterly, monthly, 15 days. We trick our brains to pass every 6 months..:P

  • Calculating turnover of renowned faculties and thinking of teaching an easy subject..:P

  • Wondering whether Science/Maths was a better option than Commerce. And, why does everyone lie about this course?

  • Educating juniors about all the pros and cons of each level of the course. We act like their gurus, and it becomes our moral responsibility to show them the right path. (I myself can't agree more on this point :P)

  • Revising section numbers, recalling SA numbers, AS numbers while bathing/ walking. We are desperate to pass.

  • Locking ourselves in a room while the world celebrates Diwali. All sorts of lightening happens in your brain when you have exams the next day. We don’t need more.

  • Downloading 1000 PDF files from numerous platforms, and never checking them again. Kaam aayega, rakh lo.

  • Searching for cheap photocopy alternatives to get those PDF’s printed. It’s another type of struggle.

  • Developing thick skin after facing multiple failures. Yes, CA makes you tough. Most important lessons of life are learned in this journey.
