Here’s a detailed guide based on your situation:
Can You Do CA Course After 12th Commerce (Even With a Gap)?
Short answer: YES, absolutely! Age or gap doesn’t restrict you from pursuing CA.
Key Points for Your Case
Eligibility:
You completed 12th commerce in 1997, and B.Com in 2000.
You are currently working as an accountant in a private firm.
You can enroll for the CA course anytime, irrespective of age or gap.
Entry Routes to CA Course with Your Qualifications:
Since you have a B.Com degree, you can directly register for the CA Intermediate (IPC) course, bypassing the Foundation level.
This means no need to start from the basics again.
Registration Process:
Visit the ICAI official website: www.icai.org
Register for the CA Intermediate course.
Complete the registration process by submitting relevant documents (your 12th and graduation certificates).
Gap in Studies:
ICAI does not have any rules against gaps between studies.
You can take as much time as you need to prepare and appear for exams.
Your work experience is an advantage.
Practical Training (Articleship):
After passing both groups of Intermediate exams (or after completing 9 months of study after registration), you must start your 3-year articleship training under a practicing CA.
This practical training is mandatory before appearing for the CA Final exam.
Exams and Study Tips:
Exams are held twice a year: May and November.
You can prepare alongside your job but need disciplined study hours.
Utilize ICAI study materials, coaching classes, and online resources.
Summary
Step Action

2. Study & Prepare Prepare for Intermediate exams
3. Appear for Exams Clear both groups of Intermediate
