Hi

Common Proficiency Test is an entry level test for Chartered Accountancy Course. It is a test of four subjects; i.e., Accounting, Mercantile Laws, General Economics and Quantitative Aptitude. This test is of 200 marks. This test is divided into two sessions of two hours each (9.00 a.m. – 11.00 a.m. and 12.30 p.m. - 2.30 p.m.). CPT is an objective type test with negative marking. A student who has passed the 10th standard examination conducted by an examining body constituted by law in India or an examination recognized by the Central Government as equivalent thereto may register for Common Proficiency Test.

The qualifying marks is 50%. A student has to remember that CPT is an objective type test with a negative marking for selecting wrong option which will be indicated in the question paper. CPT Examination will be generally conducted two times a year.

A student in one sitting has to secure a minimum 50% of total marks for passing CPT exam. It is to be mentioned that CPT is an objective type test with a negative marking which will be indicated in the question paper. There is a negative marking for selecting wrong answer to the extent of 25% marks allotted to a question.

The Council has proposed that a CPT candidate shall be declared to have passed the test if he obtains at one sitting a minimum of 30% in each section and a minimum of 50 per cent marks in aggregate of all the sections, subject to the principle of negative marking. This will come into effects once the amendments in Chartered Accountants Regulations are notified.
