Candidates who want to register for the Chartered Accountancy course have to clear the CA Foundation exam, a national level exam. The test is conducted twice a year by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. The purpose of the exam is to train and certify the candidates who want to become Chartered Accountants. 

Before applying for the CA Foundation exam, the candidate must know the eligibility criteria, to avoid rejection of the application form. Let’s look at the eligibility criteria for CA Foundation in detail.

  3. Candidates who have passed Class 12 with a minimum of 50 percent marks can register for the CA Foundation exam.
