This is what I got as reply via mail from SIRC-Executive Officer-Academics when enquired about CC. It seems we can apply for the exams without waiting for the CC. However the institute will update the status in site by this month end. It has not yet made it official regarding the withdrawal of CC till now.
Dear Student,
Let you know the status of cc by this month end,
But don't wait for cc start to submit your exam form
which is available in the website (www.sircoficwai.com).
