CA Foundation

CA Foundation

A student after appearing in the 12th examination can register for the CA Foundation course. The complete CA Course is of 4.5 years duration. CA Foundation is an entry-level test designed for students who want to pursue the CA Course. CA Foundation is a part of the revised scheme introduced by the ICAI. Below is the article, you get all the CA Foundation course details. CA Foundation is replacing the current entry-level test CPC (Common Proficiency Course). Exams for the ICAI CA Foundation will conduct twice a year in June and December.

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) has recently got the government’s approval for amending the regulations 25E, 25F and 28F of Chartered Accountants Regulations, 1988, which now allows candidates to preliminarily register for CA Foundation after passing Class 10th examinations. The main motive behind this is that the students will get plenty of time to gain knowledge and obtain necessary techniques while pursuing Class 11th and Class 12th, and finally clear their CA Foundation exams with good grades. The ICAI announces that this preliminary admission will only be modulated or regularized when the candidate will pass the Class 12th exams.

CA Foundation – New Entry Scheme

The ICAI executed it’s plan to make the entry-level difficult, not like IIT-JEE or PMT but better than CPT, in the form of CA Foundation. As we all know the CA Course is easy to enter and difficult to exist. CPT is considered much easier compared to its other two levels i.e. CA Intermediate and CA Final. So, in order to fill this gap, an initiative has been taken by the ICAI by replacing CPC with the CA Foundation.
