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.
