Yes, it is possible to do C.A after completion of your B.A in Arts course. Candidates who have passed Bachelor's degree course in Non-Commerce stream with minimum aggregate of 60% aggregate marks from a recognised university are eligible to pursue C.A course directly by registering for IPCC without appearing in CPT examination. If you have secured less than 60% aggregate marks in your Bachelor's degree course then, you need to appear in CPT examination to get admission for pursuing C.A course.

Yes, it is possible to do CA after completion of BA. Those candidates who have passed graduation with a minimum of 60% marks can apply for CA IPCC directly without appearing for the CA CPT. CA IPCC contains two groups. Group 1 has four subjects and Group 2 has three subjects. After completion of the IPCC, candidates can register for Practical Training for three years. Candidates can register for the CA Final Course and appear for the CA Final examinations. The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) is conducting the Chartered Accountancy (CA) course and examinations. The ICAI website link is given Click Here

Those candidates who have graduated in non-commerce discipline with an aggregate marks of 55% from a recognized university, are exempted from the CPT exam and they are permitted to register for IPCC (Integrated Professional Competence Course). After qualifying in CPT examination, you need to qualify IPCC (Integrated Professional Competence Course) exam which is a 2nd step toward CA course.
