This is a discussion on AfterGraduation new article "More Relaxation In Eligibility Criteria For Direct Entry CA Students".
ICAI has relaxed more in the eligibility criteria for Direct Entry CA Students registering from July 01, 2017 to July 31, 2017, for appearing in May 2018 Intermediate (IPC) Examination under Revised Scheme of Education and Training.
Under the New Scheme of Education and Training, the eligibility criteria for Direct Entry CA Students are to complete Nine Months of Practical Training after undergoing Four Weeks Integrated Course on Information Technology and Soft Skills (ICITSS) Course is modified for the sake of students.
It was earlier observed that Students will face hardship in completing nine months of Practical Training because they have to undergo four weeks ICITSS and thereafter commence their Practical Training and accordingly, to mitigate hardships of students who had registered for Intermediate Course during July 01, 2017 to July 31, 2017, through Direct Entry Route [under regulation 28F (4)] in completing nine months of Practical Training, the Council of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) decided to allow them to appear in May, 2018 Intermediate Examination after completing eight months of Practical Training instead of nine months on the first day of the month, i.e. May 2018.
