Is PT test still part of CA Course?

As of today, February 1, 2024, the ICAI (Institute of Chartered Accountants of India) discontinued issuing virtual certificates for the Practical Training (PT) Test in November 2021. This means the PT test as a mandatory assessment for CA students is no longer held.

Here's some additional information to clarify:

• Previously, students took the PT test after completing their first and second year of practical training.
• The test assessed their knowledge and skills gained during the training period.
• However, the ICAI decided to remove the PT test from the CA course requirements.
• Instead, they now focus on continuous evaluation throughout the training period.

Therefore, if you're currently pursuing the CA course, you don't need to worry about taking the PT test.

Thank you for the clarification.
