Changes in CA Intermediate Registration & Examination

Registration for the Intermediate Course also includes registration for Business Accounting Associate (BAA).

For graduates/post-graduates, provisional registration is allowed in the final year of their graduation/post-graduation. The 8-month study period starts from the date of provisional registration. However, they must have passed the graduation/post-graduation with the prescribed minimum marks while filling the examination form.

To progress further, a candidate needs to pass both groups of the Intermediate Examination, complete the integrated course on Information Technology and Soft Skills, and start articleship.

If a candidate gets an exemption in any paper, they must clear the remaining papers within the next 3 attempts. Exemption can be further availed, subject to achieving a passing mark of 50% in each paper.

Changes in Training period

In the current scheme, students can start their training after passing either of the Groups of the Intermediate Course. However, in the proposed scheme, students will enroll for training after completing the Intermediate Course, leading to more focused and seamless training.

Under the proposed scheme, the number of training days will be reduced to some extent, but the training will be continuous and more effective. This is because students will have already passed both Groups of the Intermediate and will appear in the Final examination after completing their training.

The proposed scheme eliminates the need for preparatory leaves as the training will be examination-free.

With reduced training days, the proposed scheme ensures that students gain a thorough understanding of practical concepts in subjects like taxation, accounting, auditing, etc., as they have already passed both Groups of the Intermediate.
