Validity of CPT registration
Students register themselves for CPT course and the registration number so issued is valid for indefinite period.
Provided that the registration for CPT Course will be valid for a period of 3 years from the date the student
becomes eligible to appear in CPT exam for the first time or for the period so long the student continues to
appear in the examination regularly whichever is later. Accordingly the registration of a student will continue
to be valid as long as the student continues to appear in the CPT exam irrespective of the period involved
which may be beyond three years. After expiry of the period of 3 years from the date the student became
eligible to appear in CPT for the first time, his registration will lapse. However, the registration shall not lapse
if such student has appeared in at least one of the last two examinations conducted just before the end of three
years. The registration of such student shall however lapse in case he subsequently does not appear in two
consecutive examinations.
A student whose registration gets lapsed will be eligible for re-registration. Such students will be required to
re-register himself/herself by paying a nominal revalidation fee of ` 500/-. Such re-registration will again be
valid for a period of 3 years or for the period so long the student continues to appear in the examination
regularly. After the expiry of 3 years from the date of re-registration, the re-registration will again lapse.
However the re-registration shall not lapse if such student has appeared in at least one of the last two
examinations conducted just before the end of three years. The registration of such student shall however
lapse in case he subsequently does not appear in two consecutive examinations.
Such student will again be eligible to revalidate his/her registration by re-registering himself/herself and
paying the aforesaid revalidation fee of ` 500/-. There is no time limit for revalidation. The scheme of
education in force at the time of revalidation shall be applicable to such students. This process of reregistration
/ revalidation shall continue in the same manner till further amendments. Revalidation can be
