| In the new scheme of Education and Training, 250 Hours Compulsory Computer Training will be replaced by 100 Hours Information Technology Training (ITT) with effect from 1st December, 2006. The new curriculum of 100 Hours ITT has been framed revamping the old curriculum. A student shall start 100 Hours of Information Technology Training only after undergoing three months of practical training by which he/she is expected to develop knowledge about the practical applications of Information Technology in various areas of professional practice. It is also desired that students should study the subject of Information Technology concurrently while undergoing 100 Hours Information Technology Training so that a proper balance between theoretical knowledge and practical application is achieved. |
| In order to provide the students with a reference material, the Board of Studies will be providing a kit comprising of 3 modules of 250 Hours Compulsory Computer Training course material (which were used under the old scheme) and a supplementary study material. Students are advised to study only the relevant topics of these three modules along with the supplementary study material. A table giving the page references of the relevant topics of 250 hours Compulsory Computer Training Programme course material is included in the supplementary study material to facilitate the students for easy identification. |
| There will be good number of students who registered themselves for 250 hours Compulsory Computer Training but did not start their training as on date, they will now be required to undergo 100 Hours ITT. Such students, who have already received the course material for 250 Hours CCT, can get a copy of the Supplementary Study Material free of cost from the accredited institute where they will be undergoing 100 Hours ITT. Alternatively, the soft copy of the supplementary Study Material is available on the ICAI website www.icai.org/icairoot/students/courses/ssm_iit.pdf which can be freely downloaded. |
