Clarification regarding Conversion Process

Earlier I have appeared in CA- Intermediate exams in Jan 2021 . Unfortunately , I failed with exemption in one paper. I have not appeared in July 2021 exams . Now , I have converted from CA-foundation route to CA- Direct entry route. Will I be eligible to appear for December 2021 exams with availing the benefits of relaxation provided in Regulation No.205 dated 22nd July , 2015 (i.e, relaxation from 9 months of Articleship training for those who have converted )? To avail such relaxation , before which date I have to apply for my CA-Articleship? Whether the relaxation has also been provided to New syllabus students ( since I am new syllabus student)?
