Hi,

Though ICAI is very strict when it comes to any of the rules and regulations. Aspirants are strictly required to complete the articleship in the normal entry and course but in this case, it is different. Students who are conversing from the CPT scheme yo the Direct Entry Scheme are not required (exempted) from the requirement of completing Articleship of 9 months just to be eligible to appear for IPCC Exams through the Direct Entry Scheme.

I hope this helps,

All the best.
