I have completed my B.Com with 90%. I want to do CA now. How long will it take to do CA exactly including all courses, exams and articleship? And, will I get exemption from CPT as well?

After graduation, If you will qualify all exams on 1st attempt, then CA course will take 3 years. After completion of your B.Com as your graduation, you will get exemption from CPT exam.

CA Course Duration
- Minimum duration of CA course after class 12th (through CPT) is 4.5 years.
- Minimum duration of CA course after graduation is 3 years.

It takes minimum of 3 years to complete CA after Graduation in general and after B.com in particular way.

-- You are scoring more than 55%Mark's in B.com level,then you are eligible directly in CA IPCC level without appearing the CPT exam.
