3. If a Graduate/ Post Graduate student studies subjects which are not considered for awarding grades and only required to pass such examination, whether such subjects/ papers marks shall be considered in calculating the aggregate percentage of marks?
As per the scheme of education in any University, if a student is required to secure only pass marks and for which no special credit is given, such marks shall be ignored while calculating prescribed percentage of marks for determining the prescribed percentage of marks for admission to the chartered accountancy course under Direct Entry scheme.
Dear Sir,
I have one comment on the following issues.
When the registration will begin for IPCC? How the IPCC students who have appeared on May 2012 or before should complete Nine months Practical training. Under the Old Syllabus the student have completed the Nine months Study course before writing the Exam. From the very beginning the rules of the ICAI is that before writing Intermediate or PE-II or PCC or IPCC, the study course needs to be fulfilled.
Hence there might be a drafting error in the new regulations.
