it is given on the icsi website...

the computer training acc to the insti needs to be done before you appear for the examination...but if u r like purposing to give one grp in dec and the other in june 2012, then yu cud take training b4 june 2012..but if u givin both grps dec 2011, then u have to take training b4 dec 2011, actually b4 u submit ur examination forms...

assuming ur registering now...

CA students unfortunately do not get any exemptions...as told, CS insti gives exemptions to only ICWA / MBA / some law courses and masters in corporate secretaryship courses...to get a good view of such exemptions, pls refer the prospectus....

but some subjects will be common to CA IPCC/PCC..so u shudnt possess much problem...however if ur still under articleship, i suggest u fill form 112

also u will have to attend 7 days SIP with ur chapter within 6 months of registration...otherwise ur exams/results will be delayed...

you can ask how many ever questions you want..i myself have just enrolled for CS executive...

anyways the ans is...

Aptech is offering this course. And only Aptech. Before it was NIIT. If u have done ITT coaching with ur CA insti before, it is much more similar to it...

The fees is around Rs. 4000 I guess, you better enquire. and there u have to attend 70 hrs of coaching...

About exemptions, if u have any basic computer qualifications, prefereably including Tally, then u may be exempted from coaching but u have to take up the exam...without which again ur exams may get delayed

CAN THIS TRAINING B DONE AFTER GVG FINAL EXAMINATION?

icsi-aptech 70 hrs training  fee is 3309/- include st.

for more info :-022-2242040195/40130

SIP means Student Induction Programme. You can get details from the ICSI Wecsite...thwere u will interact with fellow students/faculties...personality development, english speaking, etc will be the crux of the course it is for 7 days..

the chapter is where you register...

the institute is organized into the headquarters which is at new delhi loda road. it has got four regional councils - wirc, nirc, sirc, eirc. WIRC is based in mumbai, nirc in delhi, eirc in kolkata and sirc in chennai.

each regional council has got a several chapters associated with it. for example, under WIRC, Pune is a chapter.

i thot u were already familiar with chapters being a CA student

I hv done 100 hrs of computer training in ca so i then also i will have to undergo the training again?what if i do it after cs executive exam?

you could ask the institute about this. as far as my knowledge is concerned, the ITT training doesnt count for an exemption but I am not really sure..

And, you cannot do it aft ur executive program. u have to do it during the tenure...
