ICAI Signs Pact with Indira Gandhi National Open University

Coimbatore: The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) has signed a memorandun of understanding (Mou) with the Indira Gandhi National Open University (ignou) to conduct specialised courses for Chartered Accountancy students.

Jaydeep narendra Shah, Member of the central Council of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, told reporters here on Sunday that exemptions would be granted in different subjects to the students of the Institute.

Courses in June:

“A CA student joining graduation course under the university need to pass only in six papers out of the 21,” he said. Ignou was likely to commence the courses from this June. This was to encourage CA students who wanted to pursue their graduation, but their work timing clashed with the colleges.

The specialized B.Com courses would be in accounting and finance and M.Com courses in finance and taxation. Also, as per the MoU, an article trainee could join B.Com with ignou by paying Rs.4, 000 and could appear for the B.Com examinations after completing one year of articleship. The student would get around 70 per cent credit in various subjects and would be required to appear for six subjects.
