PLZ ALSO TELL ME REGARDING THE NEW ORIENTATION SORT OF PROGRAMME STARTED BY ICSI..

TO,sweta Bansal,and dear all....

yes i don't think it is difficult to do CA with CS as i m itself pursuing ...as if student is in PCC/IPCC he has got two subject common that is tax and cost & account and partly company law in CS EXECUTIVE and  if he/she is CA final student then he has DT/IDT/LAW etc subjects are commen in CS final so i don't think a CA student can't  do so...

and as far as exemption ,CA STUDENT get exemption in ITT TRAINING. "ONLY TRAINING" ..He/she has to appear  for exam and make DD of Rs.496 "ICSI,payable at New Delhi.

and if he/she has completed ICWA,M.COM,and accordingly will get  exemption in account and tax..and same in in final......

Thanks for the  info Gaurav

i never wrote an eligibility test for executive program..n now i'm going to write the 2nd group after passing d 1st group in last exam..i got exemption in doing the ITT program...only appeared for the test..

Agree with Gaurav...

hey frndz..

its not tough to pursue both togethre at once..

CA IIT student would get exemption in CS IIT training..

Is it compulsory to undergo Student Induction Program (SIP) to be eligible to write Intermediate Exam? or is it optional?

ya u can easily get an exemption after submitting a copy of ur itt certificate of ca

hi plz tell me about cs founfation fee & last date for register under ICSI for this june attempt.

Even ICSI has set some Pre- requirement then also 

With proper planning both CA and CS are easily managable...

There is exemption in training, but u have to appear for online test. 

This is What I got to know from ICSI website:

A student can be exempted from undergoing the course on

the basis of his existing qualification/degree in the computer field

subject to the conditions that he/she enrolls him/herself for an

online exemption test (to be conducted by APTECH) at any of the

recognized Aptech Center for ICSI-Aptech Course on all India

basis and successfully clears the test. TWO attempts will be

allowed for the student to clear the online exemption test within a

period of 30 (thirty) days against the fees of Rs.450/-.

thanks raushan...plz any body inform me regarding SIP course recently started by ICSI...i think it is compulsory b4 giving exec. xams
