The ICAI executed its plan to make the entry-level difficult, not like IIT-JEE or PMT but better than CPT, in the form of CA Foundation. Exams for the CA Foundation will conduct twice in a year i.e. MAY and November. A student can register in this course after appearing in 12th examination constituted by the law or recognised by the Central Government and appear in the Foundation examination after passing 12th Examination.

The entire Foundation syllabus is divided into four subjects -

1. Principles and Practices of Accounting
2. Business Law and Business Correspondence and Reporting
3. Business Mathematics and Logical Reasoning and Statistics
4. Business Economics and Business and Commercial Knowledge

The above two are subjective while the latter two are objective. Negative marking will continue to remain in the objective papers.
