If you are willing to appear for the Intermediate exam in May 2019 then you have to register yourself on or before 1st September 2019. The students who are already registered for the IPCC will get a number of attempts to clear the examination with the old course up to may 2019 (expected).

The whole Chartered accountant syllabus is divided into three levels. The basic entrance test in the CA Course is CA Foundation and the next level after that is CA Intermediate and the last step is CA Final.

The ICAI has revised scheme for ca course w.e.f  1/ 07/ 2017. CPT (Common Proficiency Test ) is replaced by CA Foundation Course and IPC is replaced by CA Intermediate Course.

One needs to pass the entry level i.e. CA Foundation to be eligible to register in CA Intermediate. Apart from passing CA Foundation, there are also other procedures or we can say other routes through which a student can enroll for Intermediate.

Let’s understand it in detail –

CA Intermediate Fee Structure

If you are registering into the Intermediate level through the CPT or CA Foundation route then you have an option that you can register for either both groups or for a single group.

But if you are registering through the direct entry scheme then you don’t have the above option and you have to register for both the groups at a time.

We are providing you a chart below to understand CA Intermedaite fee structure with an ease.

* To be paid once.

The students who are entering in the CA Course by the Direct Entry Route have to pay Rs 200 as a cost of prospectus in addition to the above fees.

Addition to the above fees, Direct entry students also need to register themselves for the ITT and OP training program before registering for the practical training each for the 15 days.

CA Intermediate fee for ITT(Information Technology Training) Program is Rs 6500/- inclusive of the Study Material and tea/refreshment provided by the  ICAI.

And the fee for the OP (Orientation Program ) is Rs 7000/- inclusive of Study Material and tea/refreshment provided by the ICAI.

However, the students from the normal route or the students who are registered after clearing the Intermediate level of the ICSI (Institute of Company Secretaries of India) or ICWAI (Institute of Cost Accountants of India) can complete these training after passing either single or both the groups of Intermediate but before commencement of practical training.

CA Intermediate Eligibility –  

1. There is also a direct entry route through which a candidate can enroll for Intermediate directly without going through Either CPT or CA Foundation.
   • Students who are Graduate/ Post Graduate in Commerce and secured a minimum of 55% can register directly for Intermediate without passing CA  Foundation or CPT.
   • Similarly like Commerce Graduates, Non-commerce Graduates/ Post Graduates can also register for Intermediate by securing 60% marks in Graduation/ Post Graduation.
   • Apart from the above, the students who cleared the Intermediate level of the Institute of Cost Accountants of India or The Institute of Company Secretaries of India.

The above students can get register directly for an Intermediate level without passing entrance level.

The candidates who are there in the last year of their graduation and planning for direct entry in ca intermediate can register for the Intermediate course on the Provisional basis.

However, they can commence practical training only on the successful submission of the proof that they have passed their graduation successfully with the specified percentage discussed above. During this provisional registration period, they can complete ITT (Information Technology) and O.P (Orientation Programme).  But if they failed to produce such evidence then their provisional registration shall stand canceled and fees will neither be refunded nor be adjusted. Addition to this, if he has undergone through theoretical Educational Programme then no credit shall be given of such.

ITT and OP training must be completed before commencement of practical training for the graduate students / Post Graduate students who are taking direct entry in the CA Course. 

However, the candidates who are registered directly in the CA Intermediate after clearing the Intermediate level of “The Institute of Cost Accountants of India” or “The Institute of Company Secretaries of India” are eligible to appear in the Intermediate examination after undergone through 8 months of study period similar like students who are appearing through the CA Foundation route.
