how can I become a chartered accountant

Hello Ashim,

I have mentioned below the path to establish a successful career as a Chartered Accountant .

Entry through foundation examination: After appearing in class 10+2 examinations, students are required to register with the Board of Studies (BoS) and complete 4 months of the study period.

After that, they can appear in foundation examination commonly known as CPT (Common Proficiency Test) examination.  This examination is an entrance examination commonly known as chartered accountancy foundation examination. The students who qualify the examination are required to enrol themselves with the institute for the intermediate course.

Direct Entry: Candidates who have completed graduation or post-graduation in commerce subjects with an aggregate of 55 per cent of marks can directly enrol in the institute for the intermediate course without appearing in foundation exam. Candidates who have completed graduation or post-graduation in non-commerce subjects with an aggregate of 60 per cent marks can enrol directly in the institute for the intermediate course without appearing in foundation exam.

Chartered accountancy programme comprises several courses, after completion of each course, they are required to appear in its examinations for successful completion and undergo training while enrolling in the next course.

Foundation Course

Students are required to register with the Board of Studies (BoS) for foundation courses . They are required to complete a four months study period before the commencement date of the foundation examination or Common Proficiency Test.

Intermediate Course

After qualifying the foundation test, students are required to enrol with the institution for the intermediate course. The intermediate course comprises of ICITSS course.

Integrated Course on Information Technology and Soft skills (ICITSS)

Students are required to undergo the integrated course on information technology and soft skills with a duration of four weeks after registering themselves for intermediate course. It is compulsory for students to complete the ICITSS. After completion of 8 months of the study period, they are required to pass either one or both groups of intermediate exams. Further, students are required to register themselves for a 3-year of practical training (articleship). Before registering for the final year course, they are required to clear the balance group examinations.

Articleship

Students are required to undergo 3 years of practical training or articleship under a certified chartered accountant or CA after clearing IPCC examination. The certified chartered accountant must have a working experience of 10 to 15 years. He or she should not have more than 8 articles working under him or her.

Final Course

Students are required to register themselves for final course after clearing the both groups of intermediate examinations. Students can appear in the final course examinations during the last 6 months of the practical training  (articleship). After successfully clearing the final course, they are entitled as chartered accountants.

Advanced Integrated Course on Information Technology and Soft skills (AICITSS)

Students are required to undergo four weeks of the advanced integrated course on information technology and soft skills after successfully registering themselves for final course.. This course comprises courses on advanced integrated skills and management communications skills. Candidates are required to udergo AICTSS course in the last two years of practical training (articleship).

I will suggest you to go with CPA instead of CA because for CPA only 4 exams while comparing with CA 16 exams. I recently completed my CPA with https://mileseducation.com/cpa

Hello

It needs complete dedication, hard work, and passion towards this course.

The vast syllabus of Chartered Accountancy is divided into 4 steps –

1. CA Foundation
2. CA Intermediate
3. Articleship Training (3 year)
4. CA Final

If you are planning to become Chartered Accountant in India through CA Foundation then we are taking an assumption that you have planned to appear in CA Foundation right after 12th.

CA Foundation is an entry-level test in order to pursue Chartered Accountancy. The course is much similar to your 11th and 12th standard (Commerce stream).

CA INTERMEDIATE will be your next level in the Chartered Accountancy journey after clearing CA Foundation. Some students who are graduates or postgraduates can also apply for the CA course through the Direct entry Scheme (https://www.vsijaipur.com/direct-entry-scheme-in-ca/) at the Intermediate level.

Candidates can start their Articleship Training (https://www.vsijaipur.com/ca-articleship-registration/) as soon as they passed any of the group of CA Intermediate. But before that, you must have undergone ITT and OT Program.

CA FINAL

This is the last step in the Chartered Accountants Journey and the biggest challenge. After completing both the groups of CA Intermediate one can register for CA Final (https://www.vsijaipur.com/icai-ca-final-registration-letter/) . Although, the candidate can appear in CA Final only when he has undergone through GMCS and Advanced ITT.

Hi aspirant,

To become a Chartered Accountant, you can follow the following guidelines,

Answer CPT or any 10+2 exam.

Having an aggregate if 55% in graduate or post graduate with accounting, auditing etc.

Non commerce candidates need to have 60% or above.

After this ypu can join a CA course after 10th by answering CPT exam

After 12th also the same and after B.COM degrees too.

Thank you.
