As per current scheme of CA Education & Training, a student is required to complete successfully Integrated Course on Information Technology and Soft Skills (ICITSS) consisting of Information Technology Training (ITT) and Orientation Course (OC) each of 15 days before registering for practical training (Article ship). Due to the prevailing COVID situation, the Institute has given relaxation to such category of students time to time who has joined the practical training (articleship) without completing ITT/OC. The Council in its 401st meeting noted that there are few students who are yet to complete ITT/OC before 31st May 2021. Accordingly, the Council has decided to extend time to complete the requirement, as a one-time measure, which is as under:

  • The students who are required to complete OC/ITT course up till 31st May 2021, can now complete the same on or before 30th June 2021.
  • The students who do not complete their OC/ITT on or before 30th June 2021 as per above extension, their practical training (articleship) period will be extended in direct proportion to the delay in completion of OC/ITT i.e. if they complete their OC/ITT on 25th July 2021 their articleship period will be extended by 25 days and so on.
