My Personal Opinion

The GDC&A exam is more than just a certificate — it’s a strong step towards a stable and respected career in Maharashtra’s cooperative sector.

If you are a commerce graduate, a new tax consultant, or someone starting out in accounting or cooperative work, this diploma can give you a solid foundation. It teaches you practical knowledge in cooperative law, accountancy, audit, and government rules, which are very useful in real-world jobs.

This certification is recognized by the Maharashtra Government, and it helps you become eligible for roles in housing societies, cooperative banks, credit societies, and other financial institutions.

It’s also a good income opportunity — you can work as a professional auditor, accountant, or consultant, or take up a salaried job in cooperative setups. Many people use this diploma to grow their careers and earn respect in society.

I strongly recommend this exam to anyone who wants to build a career in the cooperative field or start their own consultancy.
