Sir/Mam,

Please send me the details related to CA .Is CA possible after graduation nd if yes thn plz tell me the duration? What should be done for this? Can you please give me the complete information on the same? What are the steps followed? Awaiting for the response.

Yes, you can surely pursue CA after graduation degree. In fact, if you have got 60% marks in degree, then you will be eligible for direct CA IPCC registration.

If you have just degree with pass marks, then you need to apply for CA CPT first. Clearing this stage will help you to become eligible for CA IPCC.

CA stands for Chartered Accountancy and it is possible after bachelor's degree.

Mainly Chartered accountancy has three levels which are:

Common Proficiency test

IPCC which stands for Integrated Professional Competence course.

Final course.

Graduates are directly eligible for IPCC stage if they have minimum of 55% marks in commerce stream and 60 % marks in streams other than commerce. The duration of this course is generally 4-5 years including articleship.

But it depends upon candidate how quickly a candidate clear each stage. IPCC is tough stage and some candidate 2-3 attempts to clear this stage and so it will increase duration of course.

CA starts for Chartered Accountancy and the same course is divided into three stages which includes CPT ( Common Proficiency Course ), IPCC ( Integrated Professional Competence Course ) and the Final course.

Since you are interested to opt the same course after your graduation so will have the option of skipping first stage of CA course i.e; CPT.

Now as far as you are concerned about the duration of course then I would like to make you know that success rate in same course is very less and hence its depends in what duration you can clear the examination. But for your knowledge the minimum duration course including CPT is 4.5 years where for who joins the same course after the graduation is 3 years.

Yes, you can become a CA after completion of your graduation course, there is no such problem in it. You should have completed your 12th examination from a recognized board. You will have to register for the course and appear for CPT exam and after clearing it you will be able to move up the ladder.

However, if you have completed B.Com(Hons) with a minimum of 55% in it, you will be exempted from CPT examination.
