AHMEDABAD:
The Institute of
Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) is set to revolutionise its examination
system for students. The objective part of the common proficiency test (CPT),
read entrance exam, will be conducted online. Not only that, it can be taken
anytime as per the student’s convenience. The system, which is expected to be in place by the end of the year, will enable ICAI to create the country’s largest online test platform by any institute through its own network and infrastructure. Henceforth students need not wait for the quarterly or half-yearly timetable.
During the last two and half years, two lakh students have appeared for CPT and 93,000 have succeeded. According to ICAI officials, the number of CA aspirants is increasing rapidly and considering the increasing popularity of the course, the institute has also started conducting exams abroad, at Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
