I m a science student, I want to appear for CPT this december, but I dont know how to start preparing for it?? How much hard work is required to crack CPT?? And WHAT AFTER U CRACK IT?? I have no idea as I m from science stream, but my goal is final, that I wan to be a CA.....Are there various institute for CA like in engineering or is it the same in whole Country, does it matter u do CA from New delhi or Goa or Mumbai??? Becaus all I knw abt CA institute is ICAI, is it linked in whole country or the Delhi one is better, I hope ul are getting my point.....MY question may sound funny for ul, but I want to clear my mind...no matter what ul think about me, but plz give me correct information as I m new in this field...ALSO I had downloaded a study material from ICAI.org, is it the same as books??? I dont only want to crack CPT but come also top it, I m ready to put all my hardwork, but I m not getting proper guidance on it....How are candidates chosen after CPT..IS IT RANK OR JUST 50% in all the subjects...and where are they put into after cracking

You have to first register yourself for the course at ICAI institute in your city. They will give you the study material .It doesnt matter were u r from in this course
You should buy 11th and12th std books for proper understanding of accounts, Economics and other subjects. It is not that difficult many students had done it before from science strem
For CPT study material is enough

Hi Naresh... Basically ICAI is an independent body formed under a parliamentary Act. for doing ca, u have to register only with ICAI... ICAI has branches all over India, and procedure for registering and appearing in exams is the same all over the country.. So, there is no difference in any branch, be it Delhi or Mumbai or any other branch...
Further, u have to first register yourself with the institute and collect the study material (it will be the same that u have downloaded, subject to a few updations), then u can start preparing for CPT... U can either do self study, or you can join coaching classes. For coaching classes you will probably have a wide choice... These are usually private coaching classes; u will have check out for a good one in your locality....
For appearing for Dec 11 exam, you will have to submit exam application form, probably 2 months before exams... For last date of submitting forms follow ICAI website regularly...
Passing criteria for the exams is 100 marks out of 200 marks and score above 140 will considered distinction... And 10 all India ranks will be awarded.... There will also be negetive marking in the exams...

BY YOUR WORDS I THINK YOU HAVE STRONG DESIRE. IT DOES'NT MATTER FROM WHICH STREAM YOU ARE.. FOR CA ONLY HARD WORK IS NEEDED.. THERE ARE STUDENTS WHO CAME FROM MATHS AND COMMERCE FIELDS. STILL THEY FAILED MANY TIMES.
FIRST THING YOU NEED A PARTICULAR GUIDANCE FROM EXPERTS AND CCI IS ALWAYS THERE TO HELP SUCH TYPE OF STUDENTS. YOU HAVE NOT MENTIONED FROM WHERE YOU ARE. BY THAT WE CAN SAY WHICH INSTITUTES ARE BEST..
ONE ADVANTAGE POINT IS FOR YOU IS- PREVIOUSLY THE RULE FOR CPT IS TO ENTER ONLY FOR COMMERCE BACK GROUND STUDENTS. IF THAT RULE EXISTED YOU NEED TO WASTE TWO MORE YEARS.. LUCKLY THE RULE HAS BEEN REMOVED..
PARTICULARLY MENTION YOUR DOUBTS. BY THAT WE CAN CLEAR ALL YOUR DOUBTS..
NOTHING TO WORRY. CONTACT ANY TIME TO CCI.
