The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India announces it will toughen up its entrance criteria as just 3.46% pass chartered accountancy qualification

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) saw fewer than 4% of students qualify this year, sparking the institute to discuss toughing up on its entrance criteria.

The ICAI runs two chartered accountancy courses, one which was updated in 2006, and one which is more traditional, liveMint.com reports.

Just 3.46% passed the traditional course and 6.56% of students graduated on the updated course.

ICAI president Amarjit Chopra said the institute is considering making the common proficiency test, or entrance exam, tougher in order to weed out the less serious candidates.

The institute will meet on 4-6 August to discuss how it will make the entrance examinations tougher and so that only "capable" students go through said Chopra.

Ya............agreed I also read thge same.

Institute has taken a very good step 2 make CPT tougher bcoz IPCC &  Final both r really hard already

Many students succesfully pass d CPT exam bt unable to tackle the course at further level

"has taken". I don't think so , they will. CPT passouts are major sources of income for icai. Coaching,registration for itt,itt training, orientation, registration for ipcc, and exam fees are all big earners.

very good step.....................CPT must be tougher than existing level.

many students have cleared CPT but many of them struggling for PCC and IPCC

@ jose......agree with u ....ICAI earn too much from cpt students.......ICAI need to change alot or govenment should take over ICAI........

Post Your Ideas and Thoughts to ICAI

when Govenment itself can not do anything for INFLATION when poor finding it impossible to buy anything....how can it discipline ICAI !! there r persons in govenment like sharad pawar who himself owns sugar mills how can we expect the sugar price to come down?similarly qualified CAs don;t want freshers to give them competition.....................

i think, icai will lose the source of income if icai go for it.. am i right????

The most pathetic part of yearly elections to the council is that we,the students become vulnarable for more experiments on us as if we are for doing a course but are specimens of some scientific lab.Each council member has year long agendas but only with respect to us.Has anyone heard any such path breaking decisions taken with respect to members?.The auditor of Satyam has shamed all of us associated with this noble profession what concrete steps were taken so that such incidents doesn't occur.Sometimes I feel I've made the greatest blunder of my life by deciding to be a part of an Institute which is governed by some arrogant peoples.

Its a good move by icai to make cpt tougher as only the capable students get eligibility to pursue ipcc and final

Well.. i dont understand something.. If ICAI takes this attempt passing percentage as the base and increase the toughness of CPT then it may not be a wise decision.. because all who attempted MAY 2010 exam were either from PE 1 or foundation.. 1st batch of CPT will be taking up there finals in NOV 2010..  

NAHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII YAR

AISA MAT KARO

ME IS SAL CPT KI EXAM DENE VALA HU !    ;(

ya its a good move from ICAI.  bcoz non commerce students also easily cleared the CPT without help of accountancy paper(since the pass mark 100 is Aggregately considered not in individual subjects).  for them its a tough one to meet further exams......

This is the right step by the ICAI

like entering M.B.A in the IIM's is tougher as the candidates need 99.9% to qualify and CPT should be like this for making candidated to reassess them and to be more serius in the studies.
