Here's a clear answer to your queries about **GMCS (General Management and Communication Skills)** course completion relative to exams and membership:
---
### 1. **Can GMCS be completed before applying for membership and after passing exams?**
* **Yes**, GMCS can be completed **after passing the final exams** but **before applying for membership**.
* The **ICAI mandates completion of GMCS before membership registration**, but it does not have to be done before passing exams.
* So you can clear your CA final exams first, then complete GMCS, and finally apply for membership.
---
### 2. **What about old students (registered before 1 May 2012) with only one GMCS?**
* For students who registered articleship **before 1 May 2012**, only **one GMCS course** is required.
* They can complete this **any time after passing exams** and **before applying for membership**.
* There is no strict deadline except that GMCS must be done before membership application.
---
### 3. **Specific to your case (articleship started before 1 May 2012, exams cleared after May 2014):**
* You **can complete GMCS any time after passing the exams** and before applying for membership.
* No problem in completing GMCS post exams.
* Earlier only one GMCS was applicable for old students, so just complete that one.
