Its 3 years if you opt for full CA course.
If you opt for ATC (Accounting Techinicial Course), it would be one year.
You will be eligible for leave for one sixth of the actual period you served as an articled clerk.

The total articleship period required to complete the CA course varies depending on when a student joins the articleship:
1. **Foundation Route**: If a student enters through the Foundation route, they must complete:
- Articleship for 3 years (totaling 36 months).
- Concurrently, complete the Intermediate and Final exams of the CA course.
Typically, the overall duration to complete the CA course through the Foundation route can vary but often takes around 4.5 to 5 years from the commencement of articleship.
2. **Direct Entry (Graduates/Post-Graduates)**: For graduates like B.Com (Hons) who join the CA course through direct entry after completing their graduation:
- They can start their articleship directly after passing the Intermediate exams of CA.
- Articleship duration is 2.5 years (30 months).
- Concurrently, they complete the Final exams of the CA course.
The total time to complete the CA course through the direct entry route is typically around 3.5 years from the commencement of articleship.
### Example Timeline:
- **Foundation Route**: If a person joins the CA course after 12th grade:
- Foundation Course: 8 months (approximately).
- Articleship: 3 years.
- Intermediate and Final exams: Concurrently during articleship.
- Total duration: Around 4.5 to 5 years.
- **Direct Entry (Graduate)**:
- Articleship: 2.5 years.
- Intermediate and Final exams: Concurrently during articleship.
- Total duration: Around 3.5 years.
### Completion of Articleship and CA Course:
Once a student completes their articleship and passes all necessary exams (Intermediate and Final), they become eligible to apply for membership of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI). This process involves submitting forms and fulfilling other procedural requirements set by ICAI.
In summary, the duration to complete the CA course after graduation and articleship typically ranges from 3.5 to 5 years, depending on whether the student enters through the Foundation route or direct entry. The articleship duration is fixed at 3 years for Foundation route students and 2.5 years for direct entry students.
