Please inform me what is the last attempt for the CA Final old syllabus students ( 1994 Unit System batch ). I was told by a person that May 2009 is the last attemtpt for such students failing which they have to write PE II exam afresh and also have to re-register themselves.

Dear S. Ravi, You have to write your exams before the syllabus changes i.e. November 2009. Also, the notification of exemption to continue has not come. So, we cannot conclude that you will have to re-register. Once the notification comes then only it will be clarified. I will forward the notification copy. But prferably, you must clear before the old syllabus ends.

Please verify from the ICAI Office as Old Syllabus is the syllabus which started from 1996. I thank Mr. Ravi for pasting the circular from ICAI Website. But one of my student is facing the same difficulty and he had cleared in the same manner.
