Initiatives for Students
Entry Requirement for CA Course:
Our members must be aware that, pursuant to a Council decision, a group under the convenership of my Central Council colleague CA. Abhijit Bandyopadhyay was constituted to review entry requirements for Chartered Accountancy course. I am happy to inform you that the Group placed its recommendations at the Council meeting recently for its consideration. The ICAI Council has decided that Commerce and non- Commerce graduates with 55 and 60 per cent marks respectively in aggregate should be exempted from Common Proficiency Test (CPT) and such students would be allowed direct entry to articleship training. It was also decided that candidates who have passed the intermediate level examination of ICWAI/ICSI are exempted from CPT and they will be allowed to join articleship training only after passing first group (Group I) of IPCC examination. Students who wish to pursue Accounting Technician Course of the Institute would also be exempted to appear in the CPT. The matter has been placed before the government for consideration and issuance of necessary notification in this regard.
Extension in IPCC Registration Deadline:
As the members are aware, the results of the CPT examination held on 19th June 2011, would be declared in July 2011. In terms of Regulation 28E, no candidate is admitted to the IPC Examination, inter alia, unless she/he undergoes a study course for a period of not less than nine months. Accordingly, candidates who achieve success in the CPT examination in June 2011 will be required to register themselves for the IPCC by 1st August, 2011. Thus, only a period of about 15 days would be available to the concerned persons provided the results of CPT in June are declared on 15th July without delay under any circumstances. Considering recent experiences in the past and provision of adequate time for registration, deadline for IPCC registration has been extended to 16th August, 2011.
