I just passed my b.sc (mathematics, computer applications and management). I want to do chartered accountant (CA). Am I eligible for CA after graduation? Please reply me sir at earliest?

Chartered Accountancy is a course which has three levels:

1. Common Proficiency Test: Eligibility criteria is 10+2 passed or appearing from a recognized board.

2. Integrated Professional Competence course.

Bachelor's degree passed candidate can directly appear for this stage if they have 55% or more in commerce stream and 60% or more in non commerce stream.

You are from bachelor's degree in science, so you must have 60% or more to be eligible for direct IPCC otherwise, you must apply for the CPT.

3. Final course.

You need to score at least 60% of marks in B.Sc to be eligible for Chartered Accountant Intermediate course. If you fail to score 60% of marks in B.Sc then you are not eligible for Intermediate course. Those who score below 60% of of marks in Graduation are eligible to apply for CPT or CA Foundation course.

You can do CA after completion of your graduation also, there is no harm in it. However, below I have mentioned some details regarding the course.

KIndly have a look at it.


Eligibility for CA:

> Candidate should have completed his/her +2 level of examination from a recognized University

> Candidates having cleared their graduation will however be exempted from Competency Professional Test(not for those candidates who have scored less than 55% in their graduation).

CPT is considered as the entrance examination for CA course. The total marks for this examiantion is 400 marks and the time duration is 4 hours. It however consists of 4 topics, namely;

> Fundamentals of Accounting

> Mercantile Law

> General Economics

> Quantitative Aptitudes

NOTE: Negative marks are there for any wrong answer.
