Shifting from cpt route to direct entry route

I have registered intermediate after clearing CPT. But, I couldn't complete intermediate even 1 group. I have completed orientation and ITT. Meanwhile I have completed my graduation. I would like to join articleship shifting from cpt route to direct entry. My query is,

1. When I can appear for next attempt (I.e 9 months articleship mandatory)?
2. whether I have to attend orientation and ITT again?
3. Is there any confusion will come after conversion?
4. In exam form which column i have to fill while applying for exam?

But as per icai announcement articleship should be commenced on or before 31st Oct. / 30th Apr. for being eligible to appear in the Nov. / May Intermediate Examinations respectively. (Sometimes institute provides relaxation in these cutoff dates of articleship commencement. You may refer latest notification applicable for your attempt.)

4. As per latest attempt intermediate examination form point no-12 is to be selected under Details for Determining Eligibility, where it has been mentioned like that....candidate who registered for intermediate course through cpt route and converted to direct entry scheme.
