Hello

Yes, you can get a scholarship for CA Intermediate if you qualify for certain programs. The ICAI itself offers merit-based and need-based scholarships to help students. You can also apply through the National Scholarship Portal if your family income fits the criteria. Many private organizations like the Sahu Jain Trust or HDFC Bank Parivartan, also support CA students. Some state governments provide financial aid for professional courses, too. These scholarships can really ease the burden of fees and study materials. Check which ones match your profile and apply early for the best chance.

Hello Aspirant,

Hope you are doing great.  A common course that covers accounting, taxation, financial analysis, and financial economics is called chartered accountancy, or CA. The three-level CA course offered in India is in high demand both domestically and internationally. Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai, and Ahmedabad are a few of the most well-known Indian cities for studying accounting. Students frequently see each other studying B.Com and CA at the same time. Students from Nepal are also seen travelling to India to enroll in a CA programme in addition to students from India.

In India, CA programmes are typically offered by private and semi-government institutions. The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) considers the students certified and qualified Chartered Accountants after they complete this course (CAs).

Hi,

For being eligible for the direct entry route in CA i.e for giving CA Intermediate exam directly without apppearing for the CA foundation exam you need to atleast complete your graduation. Since you have just completed your second semester exam you are not eligible for the direct entry route as you have not completed your graduation. Hence, you must prepare for your CA foundation exam first . Only when you clear CA foundation you will be eligibe for appearing for your CA intermediate exam.

Hope this helps

Thanks
