Routes for CA Intermediate Registration 2023
As was already mentioned, there are two ways that candidates can sign up for the CA Intermediate course through ICAI. The first option is the foundation route, whereas the second is the straight entry option. Let’s first make a distinction between the two possibilities.
1) The Foundation Route: The ICAI has divided the Chartered Accountancy course into three levels: CA Foundation, CA Intermediate, and CA Final. Candidates may enrol for CA Intermediate 2023 after passing the first level, CA Foundation. It is not necessary for such candidates to hold a bachelor’s or master’s degree.
2- Straight Entry Route – Applicants who have finished their undergraduate or graduate degrees, or who are in their last year of study, may submit a straight application for admission to the CA Intermediate program. If they choose this option, candidates do not have to register for or pass the CA Foundation exam. They can now continue their education and sit for the CA Intermediate exam.
