hii frnd,
The Council considered the recommendations of the Executive Committee made at its 472nd meeting held on 21st March, 2008 on the proposal/suggestion of the Board of Studies for discontinuing the registration and introduction of a scheme of revalidation of registration of the CA students and decided as under so that name of students who are not pursuing the course after getting registered be stuck off the records:-
CPT: Students register themselves for CPT course and this registration is valid for indefinite period. The registration for CPT Course will be valid for a period of 3 years from the date the student becomes eligible to appear in CPT exam for the first time or for the period so long the student continues to appear in the examination regularly whichever is later. Accordingly the registration of a student will continue to be valid as long as the student continues to appear in the CPT exam irrespective of the period involved which may be beyond three years. After expiry of the period of 3 years from the date the student became eligible to appear in CPT for the first time, his registration will lapse. However, the registration shall not lapse if such student has appeared in at least one of the last two examinations conducted just before the end of three years. The registration of such student shall however lapse in case he subsequently does not appear in two consecutive examinations. A student whose registration gets lapsed will be eligible for re-registration. Such students will be required to re-register himself/herself by paying a nominal revalidation fee of Rs.500/-. Such re-registration will again be valid for a period of 3 years or for the period so long the student continues to appear in the examination regularly. After the expiry of 3 years from the date of re-registration, the re-registration will again lapse. However the re- registration shall not lapse if such student has appeared in at least one of the last two examinations conducted just before the end of three years. The registration of such student shall however lapse in case he subsequently does not appear in two consecutive examinations. Such student will again be eligible to revalidate his/her registration by re-registering himself/herself and paying the aforesaid revalidation fee of Rs.500/-. There is no time limit for revalidation. The scheme of education in force at the time of revalidation shall be applicable to such students. This process of re-registration / revalidation shall continue in the same manner till further amendments. Revalidation can be done at any time before the due date of filling of examination forms.
