ICAI said that “We are hopeful that we will able to get permission of the government to introduce CA new syllabus 2016 and once we get the permission from the government then we will able to launch CA new syllabus 2016. I would like to inform all the students for your concern, you will continue in the current scheme. Don’t get any confusion. We will give ample opportunities (Some Fixed Number of Attempts) to complete the CA exams under the current scheme. What about Number of Attempts for Old Syllabus Students ? So students who are under the current scheme can complete the course under the current scheme. We will give sufficient number of attempts to complete the CA exams in old syllabus . Then you will migrate to CA new syllabus 2016. So there is nothing for you to bother about whether new syllabus 2016 is applicable to you or not. As you know it is a long process and this process takes time, government approves takes time to implement. So you just focus on your current scheme.”

The new CA Intermediate | CA IPCC syllabus has been launched by the CA Intermediate | CA IPCC in which there are going to be 8 exams instead of 7 exams as of now. The same is yet to be implemented by the government and till the new scheme gets the sanction, the old scheme will continue to exist. The exams May,2016 are going to be according to the current scheme. Even after the launch of the new scheme, the students registered under the current scheme will be given enough opportunities to clear the exams. So you can easily register for the CA Intermediate | CA IPCC as the new scheme is yet to launched and you don't need to be worried about that as of now.
