A lot of students often ask this question “How many times I can attempt CA CPT/CA Foundation, CA Inter/IPCC and Final Exams?”. When asked from different people, someone says it’s a limit of 5 attempts and others say 5 years that means 10 attempts. However, these are incorrect notions. Here I’m giving clarification about the maximum number of attempts for CA exams.
Maximum Number of Attempts – CA Foundation/CA CPT, CA Inter/IPCC & CA Final
There is no such limit on the maximum number of times one can attempt the exams. The only thing that you might need to renew is the registration for the exam!
CA Foundation students:
- Initial registration for CA Foundation is valid for 3 years.
- That means 6 attempts. (yearly two)
- After 3 years you should revalidate it for another 3 years.
- Fee for revalidation is Rs. 300/- for each revalidation.
- Each Revalidation shall be valid for 3 years.
Intermediate Course students – IPCC:
- Initial registration for then IPCC, now Intermediate (IPC) Course is valid for 4 years.
- That means 8 attempts. (yearly two)
- After 4 years you should revalidate it for another 4 years.
- Fee for revalidation is Rs. 400/- for each revalidation.
- Each Revalidation shall be valid for 4 years.
Final Course Students:
- Initial registration for Final Course is valid for 5 years.
- That means 10 attempts. (yearly two)
- After 5 years you should revalidate it for another 5 years.
- Fee for revalidation is Rs. 500/- for each revalidation.
- Each Revalidation shall be valid for 5 years.

I have registered in july 2014 for ipcc. Do i need to revalidate as i have given 7 attempts
Dear Sir,
I had registered under ipcc in 4th feb 2014 and my first attempt of exam was in nov 2014. I cleared my ipcc first group in may 16 and second group in may 2018. But till date i hadnot been applied for renew of my ipcc registration. Please sir suggest me i am actually in confusion regarding final renewal date.
I heard somewhere that we can give exam for continuous 8 attempts and somewhere 4 years from the date of registration. Whether should i renew my ipcc registration after clearing my exam or there is no need to renew of registration for 8 attempts.please sir help me . Thanks in advance sir.
Sir i had revalidated ipcc on may 2015..now 4 years are completed..and if i revalidated now is it automatically change to new syllabus or continue in existing old syllabus??
