Hello

The minimum duration of the Chartered Accountancy Course for a person joining after Class XIIth (i.e. through CPT Route) is 4.5 years. The minimum duration of the Chartered Accountancy Course for a person joining after Graduation (i.e. through Direct Entry Scheme) is 3 years.

The council of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) has decided to reduce the chartered accountant (CA) course to three-and-a- half years from the current five years and three months course. It has also decided to revamp the course structure.

To be a Chartered accountant you have TO clear 3 levels along with 3 years of articleship.

First is going to be the entrance exam i.e CA Foundation

CA Foundation is partially subjective and partially objective test consisting of 400 marks. The four subjects are

Principles and Practices of Accounting.

2. Business Laws and Business Correspondence and Reporting.

3. Business Mathematics and Logical Reasoning & Statistics.

4. Business Economics & Business and Commercial Knowledge.

CA Foundation is exempt for the graduates, post-graduates and the students having equivalent degrees. Commerce graduated with 55% and other graduated with 60% marks can take direct admission for the CA Intermediate.

I hope it will help you
Good luck...
