Hi, I know that the ICAI has introduced a new rule by which graduates (both commerce or non commerce) can directly enroll for IPCC and take up the exam after completing 9 months of article ship.
My doubt is that: Does the above rule mean that all graduates who are enrolling for CA course for the first time should register to IPCC directly or can a graduate person still choose to take up CPT first and then IPCC.
The main reason I am looking for a clarification is because from what I understand those students who go through CPT route can take up IPCC exam - atleast group1 (ofcourse after completing CPT) and only then join article ship whereas those who register directly to IPCC can take up the exam only after completing atleast 9 months of article ship.
