To Write IPCC exams completions of 9 moths study period priror to write exams is required(i.e at least 9 months before to exams has to register) but not required completion of Articleship period of 9 months.
The difference between IPCC and IPCC Direct entry scheme is those who registered for IPCC they only start their articleship after completion of 1st group of IPCC and ITT and Orientation. And Those who registered for IPCC direct entry scheme they can start their articleship before completion of IPCC 1st group but after completion of ITT and Orientation with out waiting for IPCC group completion to consume time.
So in your case to start your articleship completion of ITT & orientation is required but articleship completion of 9 months is not required to write exams. So you are elegible for November 2013 IPCC exams under direct entry scheme eventhough you completed your ITT in March or April and joined your articleship after that.
