Hi Tech CA
When it comes to IT education for members/ students, the Institute is way behind and it seems they does not have any intention to change this pathetic situation. We are still told to study how 'Charles Babbage' invented the damn thing, various Generations of computers (i have been studying these from 8th Std), information systems, steps in designing the info system etc which i think, has no relevance today especially for a CA. Anyways, we have to study anything and everything in the Syllabus if one wants to clear the exam. So year after year every students go through these useless topics.
Anyways, the CA Syllabus is hardly interesting to warrant a post here. Instead, i want to discuss about these rather funny messages (SMSs and E-mails) i have been getting for the past 2 months. The Insti elections are scheduled to be held on Dec 5 and like every election campaigning is in full swing. The big difference is that here campaigning is hi tech i.e SMSs and E-Mails. Its pretty annoying too. Damn! SMSes in the middle of night!! For me this e-campaigning is new phenomenon simply because i became a member this year only. I find it interesting because for a bunch of people (older generation), who finds it difficult to understand a spreadsheet, they seem to be doing quite a good job of conducting SMS and E mail campaigns!
I hope these members, when the eventually become council members, take some interest in modifying the CA syllabus so as to include some quality IT education!!
