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.

Now that we know the CA intermediate eligibility criteria and a few guidelines to remember, let’s look at the documents you as a student would need during the registration:

Foundation Route:

  • A student choosing the CA Foundation path should submit an attested copy of their 10+2 mark sheet and a copy of the CA foundation main exam paper

[ Attested Mark Sheet (10+2) + CA Foundation Main Exam Paper ]

Direct Entry Route:

For Graduates/Post Graduates:

  • Students choosing the direct entry must submit attested copies of their graduation or post-graduation certificates.

[ Attested Copies of Graduation/Post Graduation Certificates ]

For ICSI/ICMAI Inter Passed Students:

[ Attested Copies of ICSI/ICMAI Intermediate Mark Sheet ]

  • A color photograph which was recently taken affixed to the form.

  • Proof of identity and nationality (Aadhar Card for eg.). An attested copy will suffice.

[ Attested Proof of Identity & Nationality ]

  • Proof of special category such as SC/ST/BC or disabled. An attested copy of the same.
