ca - intermediate
After clearing CA-Foundation Examination, the student is now required to get himself registered for CA-Intermediate.
CA-Intermediate examination comprises of 8 papers categorized in 2 groups (Group 1 : 4 papers & Group 2 : 4 papers)
A student has to clear all the 8 papers to reach CA-final. However, ICAI has given the facility to the students to either prepare for for both groups simultaneously or can the paper group by group. Therefore you can register yourself with ICAI either for both groups now or can get yourself registered for only one group.
However it is always advisable to get yourself registered for both groups due to following reasons:
1. If you have registered for both groups, then you can exercise all the options while filling the examination form i.e. if you are prepared for both groups, then you can apply for both groups and If you decided to give only one group, then you can fill the examination form for only one group. (If you fill the examination form for one group one only, then your registration for other group still holds valid and you just need to fill the examination form for other group in next attempt.)
However if you have registered for only one group and later on decided to give both groups, then you can not give both groups as you have not registered for it.
2. Registration fee of group 1 or Group 2 is Rs.11,000; but if you register for both groups, the fee is Rs.15,000.
