Students under the second category (those who have passed the PE 2 or PCCexamination) will be exempt from 12 out 15 papers in B.Com and in 10 out of 15 papers in BBA.
Post graduation courses (MBA and M.Com) are available either to graduate from a recognized university or who have passed the Final Examination of ICAI or to the ones who successfully complete graduation under this scheme. Here, those who have passed the Final Examination of ICAI will be exempt from 10 out of 15 papers in MBA and 7 out of 10 papers in M.Com.
Existing Chartered Accountants may also apply and get the exemption by applying through the institute for admission in through lateral entry.
Bharathiar University is a state university in Coimbatore and is accredited by NAACwith 'A' Grade. This would certainly be a great opportunity for several CA students who sometimes have to forego their regular classes to prepare exclusively for CA exams.
