Hello aspirant!

The eligibility criteria for CA intermediate is:

> enrollment through direct entry route can be done by graduates/postgraduates from commerce stream, who have secured a minimum of 55% marks or by other graduates who have secured atleast 60% marks.

> enrollment for the new course can be done if the candidate has passed the CA foundation exam.

Thus, if you qualify these, you can register for CA inter. Note that there is no age bar to appear in CA intermediate examination. Registration for Group 1 or 2 completely depends on you. If you're ready to give exams for both groups you can register for both and if not you can register for a single group. There is no restriction by the institute in this regard.

Whether to appear in one group or both depends on your preparation. Once examination forms are out you can decide whether you are well prepared for group 1 or both the groups, and can fill accordingly.

Best of luck with your preparations.

Hope this was helpful.
