This entry level exam comprised of subjects like General Economics, Mercantile law, general aptitude and Accounting etc.



Training& Courses:



The IPCC is the starting stage of CA curriculum wherein, the registration for IPCC must be done before 8 months and most of accountancy and core subjects are covered during this course.



Also its mandatory for students to attend 100 hours of training in Information Technology courses and 35 hours of orientation courses. Moreover, Computer Training Program is necessary for every candidate who wants to be a Chartered Accountant.

Generally students opt for B.Com/H along with this course as this would be an ideal or complimenting degree program to be pursued with CA course and if you talk about the benefits then it helps in CPT and IPCC to understand the Concepts.

Good Luck!!!
