It has been brought to the notice of the Council that some students registered under Direct Entry Scheme between 01.08.2012 and 31.01.2013 for the Intermediate (Integrated Professional Competence) Course could not comply with regulatory requirements relating to Information Technology Training (ITT) and Orientation Course(OP). 

With a view to mitigate the hardship of such students (namely those registered between 01.08.2012 and 31.01.2013 under Direct Entry Scheme), the Council as a special case has decided to extend the last date for completion of ITT / OP up to 31.12.2014 for them.

Such students are therefore required to complete ITT and Orientation Course latest by 31.12.2014 positively and submit relevant certificate/s to the concerned Regional Office of ICAI in order to regularize their registration in the course.
