I completed my 10+2 under CBSE in science stream with biology as my subject. I am now pursuing my graduation (B.Sc) in biology. Besides this I've registered myself for the `O' level course under DOEACC society. What are my prospects and what are the options open for me in the IT industry? Am I eligible to enter the IT field because I did not have maths either at the 10+2 level nor am I doing B.Sc. with computer science?

You can indeed take up CA along with your B.Com. You would have to however, complete a foundation course and pass the exam. The foundation course can be taken up along with any graduate or postgraduate course. It covers ten months postal tuition after registration and provides basic knowledge in the fundamentals of accounting, mercantile law, mathematics and statistics as well as economics. Registration for the foundation course is on throughout the year. The regional councils of ICAI can arrange for the option of oral coaching.
