The main/final examinations for the course are conducted twice every year generally on specified dates which do not change except under extraordinary circumstances.

June Examination

December Examination

[Group III - 10th to 13th; Group IV – 14th to 17th ; Time : 2 pm to 5 pm]

A students eligibility to appear at an examination is dependent on two factors.

1. Date of registration and
2. Obtaining the CC.

A student to appear at a certain examination should have registered before the cut off date in relation to that examination and should have also obtained the CC by the time of making application for the examination.

Student Registering

• Before Dec 15th can appear for One group in the June Examination Next Year

  [Register before 15th December 2009 – To attempt June 2010 Exam in One Group]

• Both Groups in the December Examination Next Year

  [Register before 15th December 2009 – To attempt December 2010 Exam In Both Groups]

• Before June 15th can appear for One group in the December Examination In the Same Year

  [Register before 15th June 2010 – To attempt December 2010 Exam in One Group]

• Both groups in the June Examination Next Year

  [Register before 15th June 2010 – To attempt June 2011 Exam In Both Groups]

Being eligible for both groups implies that the student can attempt the first/second/both groups as per his/her choice. Where the student is eligible for attempting one group, he/she can choose any one of the two group. However, he/she should be completing the coaching requirements for the group that he/she intends to attempt.

A student can appear in any one group or both the groups provided he has the EC/CC for them. The group in which he appears first is his choice and there is no rule that the first group should be attempted first.

However it should be clear that the candidate would be eligible to go for membership of the institution only on completing both the groups i.e. the total final level.

Final examination can be written either in ENGLISH or HINDI medium. A student has to mention the preference of medium at the time of making the application for examination.

The option to answer papers in HINDI should be exercised in total. Paper wise option is not available. The papers of a candidate who has not exercised his option to answer papers in Hindi, but answers them in Hindi, would not be valued.

In the absence of clear indication of preference at the time of making the application for examination, English will be taken as the preferred medium.

1. The maximum number of attempts allowed getting exhausted.

2. The registration getting expired.

3. The validity period of the EC/CC getting expired

Maximum Number of Attempts

Expiry of Registration

Expiry of CC

The candidate can revalidate the CC by a process called Revalidation of CC when it is expired or renew the registration when it is canceled. The candidate after revalidating his/her CC would be in the same position as if his/her CC is valid. This amounts to having no restriction on the number of attempts that one can make at the intermediate examination

However, the student whose registration has been cancelled on account of the expiry of the 5 year period subsequent to registration will not be permitted to attempt the examinations until he/she gets their registration revalidated by de novo registration.

Failing to get through within the maximum limit

If a candidates chances of making an attempt at the examination are exhausted on account of the registration getting canceled/expired, the candidate has to get his/her registration renewed i.e. Register De-Novo.

Renewing the registration or CC would put the candidate in the same state as if his/her CC or registration were valid and in force.
