CA Admission under Direct Entry Route

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion explores whether a 2-year Post Graduate Diploma in Business Administration (PGDBA) from Symbiosis Center for Distance Learning (SCDL) with 72% marks makes one eligible for the CA Intermediate Direct Entry Route. The consensus is that the PGDBA, even if recognised by DEC and AICTE, does not meet the ICAI's criteria for direct entry, which typically requires a graduate or postgraduate degree with specific percentages in commerce or other streams.

19 July 2021 Further to the eligibility criteria mentioned for admission under Direct Entry route, will the ICAI give due recognition and consider the above mentioned qualification, I.e. PGDBA from SCDL as eligible for admission in Direct Entry route under other Graduates/Post Graduates from non commerce stream with 60% of the total marks or its equivalent grade category, as the said qualification is recognised by DEC and approved by AICTE as equivalent to MBA
