If you want to become a Chartered Accountant (CA) after completing your B.Com, you can enter through the Direct Entry Route, which allows you to skip the CA Foundation exam. To be eligible, you must have at least 55% marks in B.Com (or 60% for non-commerce graduates). The first step is to register for CA Intermediate on the ICAI website and complete an 8-month study period before appearing for the exams. Before starting your articleship, you must complete the ICITSS (Integrated Course on Information Technology and Soft Skills) training. After passing both groups of CA Intermediate, you can begin a 3-year articleship under a practicing CA, where you'll gain practical experience in auditing, taxation, and finance. During this period, you must also complete AICITSS (Advanced IT & Soft Skills Training). After 2.5 years of articleship, you can register for the CA Final, and once you complete your 3-year training, you can appear for the final exams. After successfully clearing both groups of CA Final, you can apply for ICAI membership and officially become a Chartered Accountant. The entire process takes around 3.5 to 4 years after graduation. To start, you can register for CA Intermediate through the ICAI official website and begin your journey toward becoming a CA.
