Is it necessary to sit for CPT exam even after completing B.Com?

Unlike previously adopted practice where the B.Com or Above qualification gives an option of directly Writing the Second Level i.e., CA-PCC (Then it was CA-Inter) the New Format makes it Compulsory for everyone irrespective of their higher Qualifications to write CPT Exam but New format is still not approved by the government .

According to old rule a B.Com students can skip one part of CPT exam and can appear directly in IPCC exam.For a B.Com student it is necessary to get at least 55%.Admissions are open throughout the year so you can take admission at any time.

This time the CPT is conducted on 18th December 2011.

For more information read the Notification which is under approval by government.Click Here to read the Notification
