Eligibility Criteria for CA Intermediate Registration
1. Any student or candidate looking to pursue CA Intermediate should have cleared their high school (10+2) examination conducted by the relevant examination body and they should have also cleared Common Proficiency Test (CPT) or CA Foundation (as per the new scheme).
[ Passed Class 12 Exams + CA Foundation/CPT ]
2. Candidates can choose a DIRECT ENTRY without going through CA Foundation if they possess the following:
- Commerce graduation or post-graduation with a minimum cut off of 55%
- Non-commerce graduation or post-graduation with a minimum cut off of 60%
- Intermediate level from the Institute of Cost Accountants of India or The Institute of Company Secretaries of India
[ Graduate or Passed ICSI/ICMAI Intermediate ]
A Few Guidelines After Clearing the CA Intermediate Eligibility Criteria
"Note- It is important to remember that students who go through the Foundation Route are required to go through 8 months of study after registering for the Intermediate course."
For Graduates & Post Graduates (Direct Entry)
- Students who are in the last years of their graduation can register for the CA Intermediate course by passing all the traditional requirements.
[ Can Register in the Last Year of Graduation ]
- Nevertheless, a student choosing that route can start their CA practical training only upon clearing their graduation. They have to submit their certificates as a proof of accomplishment with the required percentage. Only then will they be eligible to start the course.
[ Can Appear for Exams only After Completing Graduation ]
- During this period of waiting, they can pursue other programs such as the orientation program or the ITT (information technology) program to prepare themselves. These courses should be completed before the start of practical training.
[ Can Pursue Orientation/ITT Programs After Registering and Before Completing Graduation ]
- However, if these students fail to produce the evidence required by the ICAI then their registration will be cancelled and the fees will not be refunded.
[ Registration can be Cancelled without Fees Refund ]
- And another critical aspect, is that they need to successfully complete nine months of practical training in order to appear in the Intermediate examination.
[ Need to Complete 9 Months of Practical Training ]
For ICSI/ICMAI Inter Passed Students:
However, the candidates in the CA Intermediate who are registered directly after clearing the Intermediate level of “The Institute of Company Secretaries of India” or “The Institute of Cost Accountants of India”, gain the eligibility similar to students who’ve chosen the CA Foundation route. This means they have to go through only 8 months of study.
[ Have to go through only 8 Months of Study ]
It is important to remember these guidelines as they are essential for the overall program.

Foundation Route:

Direct Entry Route:
For Graduates/Post Graduates:
-
Students choosing the direct entry must submit attested copies of their graduation or post-graduation certificates.
