Can I give CPT exam after 2nd year and if yes then when should I register for it? And can I give CPT after graduation, I know that after graduation I become eligible for direct entry scheme but I want to give CPT before IPCC after graduation, so is this possible?

CPT refers to Common Proficiency Test and same is the stage first of CA ( Chartered Accountancy ) course.

CPT is held twice every year by IPCC in the month of June and December and the registration for June attempt generally lasts on the 1st April where that for December attempt lasts on 1st October.

The minimum educational qualification required for appearing in CPT is a higher secondary school degree in any discipline from a recognized board of education.

So it is evident from above fact that being a second year student of graduation degree you are eligible for appearing in CPT and you can register for CPT December 2017 even.

Yes, it is possible to give CPT examination after completion of your graduation course. CPT stands for Common Proficiency Test. It is an entrance test which is conducted by ICAI for offering admission in CA course.
