CA Winners To win CA CMA CS Courses
I think you are searching for CA Foundation registration procedure. That’s why you landed on this page.
Earlier, ICAI conducted CA CPT (Common Proficiency Test) exam twice in a year in the months of June and December.
In the year 2016, ICAI announced that they are going to make changes in CA syllabus from 2018.
They renamed CA CPT course to CA Foundation course and also they made some changes to the syllabus. From 2018, ICAI will conduct CA Foundation exam twice in a year in the months of May and November.
Let’s discuss CA Foundation course, How to register for CA Foundation course online, How much fee you have to pay for CA Foundation course, Eligibility and Due date for registration.
First, let me clarify general doubt regarding registration and syllabus.
Students who have registered before 30th June 2017, can write CA CPT exam (Old Syllabus) in June 2018, December 2018 and June 2019. If you won’t pass CA CPT exam in these 3 attempts, then you should convert to new syllabus and you should write CA Foundation exam (New Syllabus) from November 2019.
Students who have registered after 1st July 2017, should write CA Foundation (New Syllabus) exam from May 2018.
I think you got the point.
