Coimbatore: Now the Plus 2 students can opt for Chartered Accountancy (CA) course by clearing the single Common Proficiency Test (CPT).

He said that even those students who had completed 10th standard could register for the CA course. Study to them and they could write the CPT after completing Plus 2.

After the completion of CPT, students would undergo a three-and-a-half-year article ship with a practicing charted accountant.

Indicating a bright future for CAs, Ramaswamy said. “While the corporates in our country needs around 1.5 lakh CAs, there will be need for 3 lakh CAs across the world in the next five years”.

Their salaries would range from Rs.5 lakh to Rs.24 lakh a year. In some cases, it could be go up to Rs.38 lakh, he added.

For the course, entrance exams will be held every three months. The fee is Rs.17,500. During the article ship the students will get stipend.
