27 July 2010 Dear Sabitha
How r u?

As you asked for the restarting of the CA Course, I would like to write you that firstly you have to get registered with Board of Studies for CA Final Course (New) & after that you have to complete your articled training with any CA Member for such time as mentioned in your prospectus (if you have not yet completed your training).

Then you can appear in CA Final Exam after completing training & General Management and Skills Course. After qualifying Exam you can apply for the Membership in the Council of ICAI.

Please give a Feedback whether you are satisfied with me or not. Please refer the latest prospectus.

28 July 2010 Hello,

I would suggest you to go for conversion from PE-II to IPCC. Kindly refer the article below for conversion process:

CONVERSION FROM PE2 TO IPCC

Kindly go through the below mentioned procedure for conversion to IPCC

In order to convert from PE2 to IPCC (Integrated Professional Competence Course) you are required to submit:

1. Application form for Conversion from PE2 to IPCC (available along with the prospectus) duly complete.

2. A DD worth Rs. 8000/- (if Information Technology Training is not done) else Rs. 6000/- in favor of “The Secretary, ICAI”, payable at whichever regional office you are submitting your application along with an attested copy of the ITT Certificate.

3. A copy of the registration letter of PE2.

Note For All Students converting to IPCC

• Orientation Programme (35 hours) is mandatory for all students converting to IPCC(Course fee: Rs 3000)

• Students would be eligible to appear for the closest attempt after conversion (provided nine months duration has been completed in the old course)

• Students will get paper wise exemption and the benefit of articleship conducted under PE2 / PCC

• Students will be eligible to appear for final exams in the last six months of their articleship.

• ITT (100hrs) is to be completed if not done earlier.(Course Fee: Rs 4000)

• Students should convert before filling examination forms (Exam forms for Nov 2010 attempt shall be available in the first week of August) .

You may convert to IPCC after the declaration of results if you wish to. For more info get in touch with Rahul Bansal

02 August 2025 Hi! Here’s some clarity on the **transition from PE-II to IPCC** and your situation:

---

### What is PE-II and IPCC?

* **PE-II (Professional Education - II)** was part of the old CA syllabus before the new Integrated Professional Competence Course (IPCC) was introduced by ICAI.
* The CA course was revamped, and **IPCC replaced PE-II** as the middle level exam.
* Students who had started under the old syllabus (with PE-II) need to convert to IPCC to continue their CA journey.

---

### Why convert from PE-II to IPCC even after completing PE-II?

* **Completion of PE-II alone does not directly make you eligible for the CA Final exams** now because ICAI replaced the syllabus.
* So, even if you passed PE-II earlier, to align with the new syllabus and be eligible to continue, you must **register for IPCC and get exemptions/paper-wise credits** based on your PE-II results.
* IPCC is the official **intermediate level course now**, and you must be registered under it to proceed.

---

### What happens when you convert from PE-II to IPCC?

* You get **paper-wise exemption** for the subjects you already passed in PE-II.
* Your **articleship training period under PE-II/PCC will be counted** towards IPCC requirements.
* You’ll have to complete any additional requirements like:

* **Orientation program (35 hours)**
* **Information Technology Training (ITT, 100 hours)** if not done earlier.
* You become eligible to appear for **IPCC exams** (with exemptions).
* After clearing IPCC, you can proceed to CA Final.

---

### Summary for you:

* Since you completed PE-II in 2007 but did not pursue further, **you should apply for conversion to IPCC**.
* This is necessary because the ICAI syllabus has changed, and IPCC is now the recognized intermediate level.
* Contact your regional ICAI office or look for the **conversion application form**.
* Pay the applicable fees as per whether you completed ITT or not.
* Complete orientation and ITT if pending.
* After conversion, plan to appear for IPCC exams with your exemptions.
* Then continue articleship if incomplete and eventually appear for CA Final.

If you want, I can help you with the latest details, form links, or prepare a checklist for your conversion. Would you like that?
