Hello,

If you wish to become CA then i would like o inform you that you can opt any stream after completing your Xth standard education and then prepare for CA Examination.

There is no stream wise eligibility criteria for CA. Though it is advisable that you pursue commerce if you want to become CA so that you get a hang of the subjects and topics for examination preparation.

Candidates who are from Commerce stream must secure minimum aggregate of 50% in 12th exams so as to eligible for CPT.

Candidates from other streams need to have scored an aggregate of 55% excluding Mathematics and 60% including Mathematics in 12th board exams.

------- Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), as part of a new rule, has allowed students who pass Class X to enrol with the institute for the entry-level CA foundation course.

------ This new rule would help aspirants turn chartered accountants six months earlier.

------- Though CPT registration is allowed after Class X, admission will be regularised only if the student clears Class XII.

Earlier, students could register for the course only after appearing in their Class XII examinations, and write the foundation exam only after a four-month study period .

Under the new system, this study period can be completed while pursuing Class XI and XII.

• CA foundation exams are held twice a year — in May/ June and in November/December . The foundation course comprises four papers, out of which two are subjective and two objective types.
