Hello Harsh,

CA CPT exam will be conducted in four parts i.e. Part 1 - Fundamentals of Accounting and Mercantile Laws, Part 2 - Mercantile Laws, Part 3 - General Economics and Part 4 - Quantitative Aptitude.

The test for two parts will be taken in the first session and test for other two will be taken in the second session. Thus, there will be two question papers which have to be attempted by the candidates in two sessions on the same day.

The question paper carries 200 objective type questions for a total of 200 marks

For every wrong answer, 0.25 marks will be deducted from the maximum obtained.

Now coming to preparation for CA CPT -

Choosing a right CA coaching institute is indispensable for getting overall success in the CA examination. In fact, the two foundations on which the passing in CA examination depends include:

• The Proper Guidance

• Hard Work

Working hard and making the best of efforts lies in the hands of students. But the problem arises when it comes to choosing a CA coaching institute. Most of these institutes boast of good results and hence it becomes difficult for students to recognize the right institute.

If anyone wants to choose a suitable institute, he or she should always get to know about the result of last years’ CA examination in institutes. Only those institutes that actually made it to good results should be selected by CA aspirants. The right coaching and guidance make a real difference in the passing of CA examination.

Prepare your answers the way IPCC expects them to be. Analyze last years’ question papers and search for the answers that lead to successful results.

Always divide the syllabus into A, B and C sections. The A section is the one which covers 30% of the entire syllabus in volume. But the important point is that 70% of questions are put up from this section only. The C section is the one which covers 50% of the entire syllabus but only 20% questions come from this section. Apart from these two sections, the remaining section is the B section.

Good luck!
