Yes you can apply directly for IPCC programme of ICAI right after completing B.Com provided that you must have did it from a recognised University. As per latest amendment CS and CWA Inter pass student can also apply for IPCC.

Yes, you can apply for the IPCC training after yhe comletion of B.Com, without giving CPT because cpt is for the non graduate students, and as you’re pursuing your graduation you don’t require to give the CPT anymore. Now you can directly apply for the IPCC training.
Gud luck

ICAI has made it possible for graduation degree holders to directly apply for IPCC and not appear for Common Proficiency Test. In previous years, both 12th pass candidates as well graduates had to appear for Common Proficiency Test.

But as per new rules by the ICAI, if commerce graduate as scored minimum of 55 percent marks and non commerce has scored at least 60 percent marks, then he/she is not required to appear for the Common Proficiency Test. Such candidates can directly take admission for the IPCC.

Others will have to appear for Common Proficiency Test. Therefore the bottom line is that if you have completed Bachelor of Commerce with at least 55 percent marks then you are eligible for direct admission into IPCC, otherwise be prepared to appear for Common Proficiency Test.
