There is no specific mention made with regard to the validity period of EC | CC. However a combined reading of all the provisions gives an understanding on the restrictions on the number of attempts which in itself would make the EC | CC invalid.
The restrictions on the number of attempts may come into operation on account of
- The maximum number of attempts allowed getting exhausted.
- The registration getting expired.
- The validity period of the EC/CC getting expired
Validity
- Maximum Number of Attempts:
There is no specific mention regarding the maximum number of attempts
- Registration Expiry
- 7 ears from the date of registration for Inter.
- 3 years from the date of registration if the student does not appear in any examination till then.
The candidate has to get his/her registration renewed by a process called Denovo Registration. The candidate after registering denovo would be in the same position as if his/her registration has not been cancelled.
- CC Expiry
- 3 Years from the date of issue (covering 6 attempts)
The candidate has to get his/her CC revalidated by a process called Revalidation of CC. The candidate after revalidating his/her CC would be in the same position as if his/her CC is valid.
Revalidation
This is needed where the candidates CC has expired. Where the candidates registration has expired and he/she gets his/her registration renewed either by the denovo process or the registration afresh process, they would stand in a position as if their registration has not been cancelled, which makes it unncessary for them to renew the CC, unless in the case where it has expired.Procedure
