  A student has to convert from PCC to ATC by filling the relevant form and by paying the
prescribed fee for conversion as given above.
  
34. Which is more advisable course  for a student who has cleared CPT, to enroll himself for
IPCC or ATC or both? What will be the articled  training period? Whether the student has to
undergo one year work experience for ATC separately?
  The ICAI suggests the students to enroll for both IPCC and ATC. Since, student need not do
more for ATC certificate i.e. 9 months study course, 100 Hour ITT and Orientation Programme are
same for IPCC and ATC students and are compulsory, by this the student can save registration fee
and time and can ensure minimum basic qualification for Accounting and Taxation assignments in
the Industry. But for ATC certificate candidate has to undergo 1 year work experience, which is
separate from 3 years article ship under IPCC.
 
 
35. Whether form 112 is to be filled by the student who is undergoing 1 year work experience?
  Under ATC,  one  year work experience student is undergoing is in the relationship of
employee and employer and he is not allowed to do any other course during this 1 year period.
 
36.  Those  students of Intermediate/PE-II who want to switch over to ATC & have already
passed one group of Intermediate/PE-II examination & have completed articleship, will they be
required to pay examination fees of Rs. 1000/-  for the remaining papers along  with ATC
registration fees? And will they be required to undergo 1 year work experience?
  Students who have passed one of the groups in Intermediate/ PE-II/ PCC,  have to pass
remaining papers of ATC as given in the unit scheme by examination division. Students should not
pay examination fee along with the registration fee.  For examination purpose they have to fill examination application  as per notification of the examination section  and have to submit the
application form to examination division along with requisite fee.
  Students who have completed their articleship under Intermediate/ PE-II/ PCC need not to
undergo 1 year work experience for ATC certificate.

Thanks Annu..

I just want to know that if a student who had already completed his articleship & also passed PCE and wants to enrolled for ATC. Then after obtaining the ATC whether he can be able to appeared for CA final or not? Please clarify.

Thanks...................

ATC will not brake your route to appear for CA Final........You may get ATC certificate along with CA Final.....But, your Practical trainign will be 4 years.........3 years Articleship + 1 Year training for ATC..........and if you w'd like to get only ATC then you may get it without 2nd group of IPCC.

I think, Now, you are clear about ATC and CA final too.

I want to know that  i have registered for both group of ipcc but not atc .

Now i cleared group- I so how can i register for atc?
 

Pl clear your question....

i want to know if i have not paid registration fees for atc.  If  i want atc certificate what should i do?

You may register for this later or any time if you are/will/should not go for final.........if you want to complete/final CA course

then it will not give value or will not required for full CA.
