Cost accountancy, chartered accountancy and company secretaryship
In India people who have passed the exams in these three fields can get very good jobs. However, these exams were not (i assume the situation remains the same) offered by specific universities, rather one has study on his/her own, possibly through the help of coaching centers, and pass the corresponding exams. So these exams are more like certification exams. Following are links for additional information on them.
Following is an ad on Company secretaryship that appeared in Samaja.

Infosys plans a pilot special training program for SC/ST students in 6 states including Orissa
Indiatimes has an interview on this with TV Mohandas Pai. Following are some excerpts:
Infosys Technologies with the Indian Institute of Information Technology, Bangalore, has just concluded the first course of a Special Training Programme (STP) for SC, ST students aimed at enhancing their employability. TV Mohandas Pai, director, human resources, Infosys, speaks about the programme:
Are you looking at expanding this programme beyond Karnataka?
Ideally, there should be a similar effort in every state. Currently, we plan to conduct pilots in five other states, including Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Orissa. A successful pilot will convince state governments of its need and feasibility.…
What about placements post this training?
From our first batch of 90, close to 76 got placed in companies like IBM, EDS, HP, MindTree, Wipro and Infosys itself. We made 23 offers, but only 15-16 joined us which shows the power of this programme. It made them competitive enough to have choices. Placement is based purely on merit.What’s the investment in this programme?
For the pilot, we invested Rs 3 crore. Starting with the next session, we are looking at Rs 1 crore with a 50-50 partnership with the state government. The government has the funds but lacks the capability to plan and execute something like this.
That’s where we come in. We also got support from our partners like HP, Canara Bank and some other corporate houses.
