Chartered Accountancy Course comes closer to Plus 2 Students

Coimbatore: Now the Plus 2 students can opt for Chartered Accountancy (CA) course by clearing the single Common Proficiency Test (CPT).

“Earlier, the Plus 2 students had to pass two proficiency exams to get selected for the course. Under the new system, which came into effect recently, they can clear it in just one CPT,” said G Ramaswamy, Central Council Member of The Institute of Charted Accountants of India, which offers the course, in a press conference here today.

He said that even those students who had completed 10th standard could register for the CA course. Study to them and they could write the CPT after completing Plus 2.

After the completion of CPT, students would undergo a three-and-a-half-year article ship with a practicing charted accountant.

Indicating a bright future for CAs, Ramaswamy said. “While the corporates in our country needs around 1.5 lakh CAs, there will be need for 3 lakh CAs across the world in the next five years”.

Their salaries would range from Rs.5 lakh to Rs.24 lakh a year. In some cases, it could be go up to Rs.38 lakh, he added.
