CA refers to Chartered Accountancy and same is professional degree course after completing which one head towards becoming a Chartered Accountant a job profile with good future scope.

The whole CA course is divided into three stages which includes CPT followed by IPCC and finally the Final course.

CPT refers to Common Proficiency Test for which the minimum educational requirement is a higher secondary school degree from a recognized board.

Once one compete CPT he/she has to qualify stages second i.e; IPCC ( Intermediate Professional Competence Course ) for making it to the final stage course.

One can skip CPT and directly appear in IPCC if he/she goes for the CA course after completing his/her graduation degree course from a recognized university.
