Hi Heli,
Great question! Here’s the detailed info on **subject exemptions for IPCC for Company Secretary (CS) professionals**:
---
### **1. Does clearing CS Professional give exemption in CA IPCC?**
* **No**, passing CS Professional course **does NOT grant any exemption** in CA IPCC subjects.
---
### **2. Why no exemption?**
* The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) grants subject exemptions **only to candidates who have passed the relevant exams under ICAI or certain other recognized bodies** (like CA Foundation or CPT, or equivalent).
* The syllabus and exam pattern of CS and CA courses are different in scope and depth, so ICAI does not allow exemption based solely on CS qualification.
---
### **3. Is there any exemption on basis of other qualifications?**
* Yes, some exemptions are given for other qualifications like CPT pass, graduation/post-graduation, CMA (Cost & Management Accountants) for specific papers.
* But **CS professional qualification is not recognized for IPCC exemptions**.
---
### **4. What about ICAI registration?**
* You **must register with ICAI** for the CA IPCC course to appear in the exams, regardless of any other qualification.
---
### **Summary for you:**
| Qualification | Exemption in CA IPCC | Remarks |
| -------------------------- | -------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
| CS Professional | No | Syllabus mismatch, no exemption allowed |
| CPT/Foundation | Yes | Exemption in Group 1 papers |
| Graduation/Post Graduation | Yes | Exemptions in certain papers |
---
### **Suggestion:**
* Register for IPCC as a fresh candidate and prepare for all papers.
* Your CS knowledge may help in some subjects (like Company Law), but you still need to appear in all papers.
---
If you want, I can help you prepare a study plan leveraging your CS knowledge for IPCC. Would you like that?
