Sir,

There is no percentage & Age barrier for doing CA course. You can register for CPT and after passing CPT u can register for IPCC.

to be able to eligible for IPCC exams u have to successfully complete 5 days full time orientation program & 100 hour ITT program.

After passing Group-I of IPCC, you have to undergo 3 years practical traning under a practising CA.

After that u can appear for Final.

After passing Final year, u have to complete A course on General Management and Communication Skills Course.

Then u will be Taged as ACA (Associate Chartered Accountant) and start practising.

After 5 years of working or practise u will be tagged as FCA (Fellow Chartered Accountant).

So dont hesitate and go for it.

Good wishes.

Dear Sir,

Please do not bother about your age. There is no age bar as far as knowledge ride is concerned. CA or CS is just like a knowledge ride. So just go ahead confidently and enroll yourself in CA to avoid any future regret.

13 year finance exp is going to help you a lot in CA.

My best wishes are always with you.

Welcome & very nice decision taken, Pls go ahead, You are too young to start CA because a real example which I can tell you is about a REnowned author CA s BALA who has authored the book of F M fpr final CA, He started CA at age of 58 after he retired from his service as a Bank Manager & he completed his CA there after, To belive this you can take the said text book & read the preface where this information is mentioned, so now you decide you are old & aged to do CA are quite young to do it. Also I have a friend who completed his CA in 2002 when he was around 36 age

Go ahead nothing to think or ask further to any one, go ahead, & should you require any help you can contact me
