There is an option called Direct Entry scheme for graduates who secured atleast 55%. Since u got 49% U r nt eligible for it and u have to enroll through CPT. Yes Watever you are doing, you have to complete 3 yrs of Articleship. I appreciate ur decision sir.If you are determined U can join CA

Thanks for the reply ayesha, 

I am ok for CPT 

but, i cannot left the job for articleship, is there any other options.

Thanks, 

Manoj

As per icai articleship is compulsory in CA course without it u will not be eligible to appear in ca final.
U can do CMA. Go and check www.icmai.in
u can take dummy articleship
@ sugar dummy articleship is not legal. ICAI will cancel it, if comes to their notice. Articleship is not possible in anyway if you are doing a regular job.
@ sugar means??? @ bikramjeet singh
@ sagar jaiswal dummy articleship mean ur registered under a CA for articles but u don't work it's just registration and nothing else

Mr Manoj the suggestion I would give is to do either CMA or ACS because doing CA needs articleship of 3 years some advised to take dummy artickeship which is fatal to your career  for doing CA 

Thank you all for your valuable guidance and time. 

Regards,

Manojk

@ sagar I wanted to type @ sidharth.. but wrongly entered your name with spelling mistake
