CPT stands for the Common Proficiency Test. One who want to build their career as a Chartered Accountant have to crack this exam.

You have asked for the minimum marks required to appear CPT exam. But, you have not mentioned anything regarding your educational qualifications like what you have done or in which level you are studying right now.

Though, let me clarify your doubts. If you are applying through your intermediates i.e., 10+2 then there is no any percentages criteria or minimum marks criteria.

But, if you have completed your graduation from the commerce background and want to apply for it, then you should have secured at least 50% marks in your graduation.

However, candidates from Non-commerce backgrounds are also eligible for CPT. But, they must have secured at least 55% (Without Mathematics subject). And fot those who have studied with maths have to secure at least 60% marks.
