CA - IPCC IPCE : Course Structure Pattern

ICAICA (2006)IPCCCourse Structure • Course Structure Pattern
The CA course at the IPCC level (Integrated Professional Competence Course)) consists of theoretical examinations as well as practical training in the form of compulsory computer course. There are 11 subjects to be studied arranged into 2 groups of 4 papers of 100 marks each in Group I and 3 papers of 100 marks each in Group II.

To pass a student has to obtain a minimum of 40% in each paper and an aggregate of 50% in all the papers of both the groups together if attempting both the groups or all the papers of a single group, failing which the student has to reappear in all the papers of that group/groups again.

A student has to get through both the groups either at once or separately to be eligible to go for the next level i.e. Final.

However there are certain exemptions in cases where the student has obtained high marks in one or more papers and has failed the group.
