Currently I am at very good position in my company but every now and then I feel I am under qualified for my current position only reason being that I am just B.Com with just 45%.   I will be very good help if any one can give me complete details for applying for CA exam.   Thank you all.

First of all congrats for the post u r enjoying now, and welcome to CA.

To persue CA course u have to register and clear CPT in first instance. Then you can go to 2nd level.

Recently ICAI made an announcement that B.com Grad's need not do CPT level. They can directly do 2nd level. i.e., IPCC but unfortunately it is still not implemented and moreover for that exemption you need to have a score of 55% and above in your Graduation.

So only opition available to u is to opt for cpt and appear for exam.

But before joining the course make sure that u can dedicate some time to the course, n since u r working u need to get some prior permission from institute......

@ Himanshu

3 Years articleship under practicing CA is mandatory in CA course and you will not get handsome salary during articleship. So consider this seriously before taking ur decision. all the best.

I think you shuold go for CWA bcoz, icwai is considaring you job/experience as training.

anu says correct..... but new course also ... IAI
