CA

Since you are in class 12th now, you have a complete year to prepare for your CPT, which is more than enough. There is no official notification by the ICAI regarding the applicability of the new syllabus till now, so we can expect that the current syllabus will be applicable until then. I am trying to guide you about both the syllabus- current & proposed new one. You can register yourself for the foundation course right after your 10th but can appear only after 10+2. If you have registered yourself earlier, you might have received the study materials by ICAI & if you haven't, register at the earliest so that you can get the study material. You can register last for CPT before 6 months.
