CA

Hi Niraj,
No, it is not necessary to do graduation. You just need to clear both groups of IPCC and complete 2.5 years of articleship training before appearing in CA final exams. However students generally go for graduation along with CA because of the following reasons :
- it acts as a protection when students are not sure about clearing their CA exams.
- it also adds a degree to their C.V
You can do your graduation from IGNOU, NSOU, University of Madras and Bharthiar University. The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India ( ICAI ) has entered into MOUs with these universities because of which students doing CA will be exempted from giving certain papers of graduation.
For updates, go to ICAI website.
All the best. Hope u make it big. :)

Hello Arun,
Congratulations for making it to SRCC. Here, I am assuming you have appeared for CPT. After successfully clearing CPT, students can register for IPCC. IPCC consists of two groups and students have the following options:
1. Give both groups in May.
2. Give both groups in November.
3. Give one group in May and the second in November.
Since u are opting for a regular college, I would not recommend the first option. However u can go with the next two.
-According to ICAI rules ,your practical training cannot clash with your day college. Therefore after clearing IPCC, you would have to complete your college Four Year Undergraduate Programme (FYUP). Then only you are eligible for your practical training. In no case should the two coincide. After your training, u can give CA Final exams.
-You can even wait for your college to finish and register for IPCC later on.
If u can create a balance b/w college n CA coaching ,then give IPCC now. Otherwise, concentrate on your college studies.
As for the Institute, The Institute Of Chartered Accountants Of India (ICAI), Karkadooma caters to all student related matters. There is one in NOIDA as well for subsidiary purposes. The ICAI provides only study material but no classes.
If u r asking for coaching then the names of famous teachers for IPCC in Delhi are mentioned below.
1st Group -
a) Accounting: CA Praveen Sharma , CA Praveen Jindal
b) Cost n Financial Management: CA Ashish Kalra,CA Rk Mehta
c) Taxation: CA Ajay Jain,CA Mk Gupta
d) Law: CA Munish Bhandari
2nd group
e) Adv. Accounts: CA Praveen Sharma, CA Praveen Jindal
f) Auditing: CA Surbhi Bansal
g) ITSM: CA Mayank Jain
Most of them provide coaching near Kashmere Gate and ITO area. Choose as per your convenience.
As you will go to college as well, I suggest you not to take any coaching for theory papers. Try to take coaching for minimum no. of subjects.
If u wish to register for MAY attempt (either one or both groups), the last date for registration is 1st August.
You can register online as well as offline.
For updates, go to ICAI website.
All the best. Hope u make it big.:)
