As per the official statement released by ICAI, the Association of Indian Universities, i.e. the AIU, back in 1984, had already recognized Chartered Accountancy along with a graduation to be equivalent to a post-graduation degree. Also, CA qualification was approved as valid academic eligibility criteria for seeking admission to Ph.D. programme in Commerce and allied disciplines.

“In India, two Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), 6 Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) and 101 Indian universities recognized chartered accountancy qualification for the specific purpose of registration and admission to the Ph.D. programme,” added in the release.

CA Final exam is considered to be one of the toughest examination to clear in the country, which is a hard nut to crack in the first attempt, majorly because of its difficulty level. As per statistics and data received, this year for the year 2017 a total of 1,32,007 students appeared in the CA final examination and only 19879 candidates cleared the exam which roughly is a 15% pass percentage.

On July 31, 2017, ICAI launched the revised syllabus of CA course. It had been more than a decade since ICAI had upgraded the syllabus. The new syllabus has a variety of contemporary topics like Goods and Service Tax (GST), Islamic Finance, Small and Medium Enterprise (SME), Start-Up Finance and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) etc. Apart from the new additions, ICAI has also removed Value Added Tax (VAT), services tax and exercise duty from the syllabus. The syllabus has been revised after holding consultations and discussions with the experts in the field.
