It has been brought to the notice of the Council that some students of the Direct Entry Scheme, who were registered between 01.08.2012 and 31.01.2013 for the Intermediate (Integrated Professional Competence) Course and were required to complete ITT and Orientation Course by 31.05.2013, could not complete the same for some reason or the other.

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 of the Institute as a special case has decided to extend the date for completion of ITT and Orientation Course upto 31.12.2013.

Such students are therefore required to complete ITT and Orientation Course latest by 31.12.2013 and submit relevant certificate/s to the concerned regional office of ICAI where they are registered with.
