Revalidation of ipcc

Anil Kumar T R (Student CA IPC / IPCC) (32 Points)

13 February 2015

Hi Sir,

I am from Kerala and I belong to Ernakulam Region. I have registered with PE-II course (without articleship) and later I have converted to Integrated Professional Competency Course with effect from 17/Jan/2011.

I would like to appear for the IPCC (formerly "Intermediate" course) Nov-2015 exams and request you to kindly clarify on the following

1. Is my above registration still valid. If not, what should I do to make it valid?
2. As I have a initially registered for PE-II course (without articleship) whether I would be allowed to write IPCC exams without doing articleship?.
3. If article ship is a must for writing IPCC exams, then what is the minimum duration of the article ship required to get the eligibility to write IPCC exams?

Please clarify my above queries.

Thanks

1. Since you switched over to IPCC from PE-II, registration validity period of 4 years will be counted from the date of switch over.
.
Hence, you registration was valid till 17.01.2015. To appear in the Nov’15 exams, you need to revalidate your registration. For the relevant procedure, download this ICAI announcement -> click here
.
2. Yes, you are eligible to appear in the exams. The articled training will start after passing the Group-1 of CA Inter (IPC)/IPCC.
.
3. Not applicable in your case.
.
The criteria of 9 months of articleship completion, in order to be eligible for exams is applicable for students who are either registered or converted under the ‘Direct Entry Scheme' (i.e. direct enrolment to CA-IPC for graduates with minimum 55% marks.)
