Dear all,
 
As I was browsing through the ICAI website I came across this announcement which stated that the BCOM would be awarded upon completion of 32 credit course instead of the 96 credit course of IGNOU, completion of IPCE both groups. That announcement also included that to exclude the requirement of Completion of 3 years of articleship of ICAI. 
 
This was a real shocker to me because this announcement was made on September 2011 and I have not noticed any such reference made in any of the IGNOU related sources of information. Kindly advise me in this regard. I am also giving the links which would provide sufficient details of IGNOU.
