18 February 2010 Dear Sir,

I have already passed PEE-II Exam and completed my articleship, now while submitting C.A.Final Exam Form I have tick marked on new course, earlier I have been consistantly appearing in Final Old Course.

Is it possible to choose new course instead of existing old course for me and whether institute will accept my form?

09 August 2024 Yes, it is possible to opt for the new course in CA Final exams even if you have been consistently appearing in the old course, provided you meet the eligibility criteria set by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI). Here’s how the process works:

### **Eligibility and Process**

1. **Eligibility to Opt for New Course:**
- **Complete Articleship:** As you mentioned, you have completed your articleship, which is a prerequisite for appearing in the CA Final exams, whether in the old or new course.
- **PEE-II Completion:** You have passed PEE-II (Professional Education Examination-II), which qualifies you to appear for the CA Final exams.

2. **Submission of Exam Form:**
- **Opting for New Course:** On the CA Final exam form, you have correctly opted for the new course. This is allowed even if you have previously appeared under the old course.
- **Form Acceptance:** ICAI generally accepts the exam forms for the new course as long as you have filled the form correctly and meet all eligibility criteria.

3. **Transition to New Course:**
- **Credit Transfer:** When transitioning to the new course, any credits or exemptions from the old course may be carried over if specified by ICAI rules. Check the official ICAI guidelines or contact ICAI for specifics.
- **Syllabus and Preparation:** Be sure to familiarize yourself with the new course syllabus and exam pattern, as they may differ from the old course.

### **Steps to Take**

1. **Check ICAI Notifications:**
- Review the latest ICAI notifications or announcements related to the transition from the old course to the new course to ensure you meet all requirements.

2. **Contact ICAI for Clarification:**
- If you have specific questions or concerns about your transition, you can contact ICAI's examination department for clarification. They can provide detailed guidance based on your individual circumstances.

3. **Follow Up on Form Status:**
- After submission, keep an eye on any communications from ICAI regarding your exam form to ensure there are no issues.

4. **Prepare for the New Syllabus:**
- Start preparing according to the new course syllabus to align with the new examination pattern.

### **Summary**

- **Yes**, you can opt for the new course if you meet all the eligibility criteria.
- **ICAI should** accept your form as long as it is filled correctly and you fulfill the eligibility requirements.
- **Verify any credits or exemptions** that may be applicable from the old course.
- **Prepare** based on the new course syllabus and exam pattern.

It’s always a good idea to double-check with ICAI to ensure there are no issues with your transition and to clarify any doubts you might have.
