Hello

It's preferable that first you complete your graduation because students who have completed their Graduation or who are going to complete can apply for the CA course through the Direct Entry Scheme.

Under this scheme a student who has completed Graduation from Commerce need to have at least 55% marks in the graduation and should have studied any 3 subjects of 100 marks each - Accounting,Auditing,Costing, Taxation, Management Accounting, Business Administration.

Through Direct Entry Scheme student do not need to give a CPT exam and gets directly admitted for the IPCC group.

After taking an admission under the Direct Entry Scheme a student can complete the CA course in 3 to 4 years. Whereas you also consider the 3 years of Internship. If we count together it will take around 5 - 6 years to complete the CA course.

I hope you find this information useful and helpful:)
