CPT is the entrance exam that a candidate needs to undertake as an entrance level route to the Chartered Accountancy (CA) stream which every intending candidate is to clear before enrolling for the professional state.
After passing 10th standard examination, a student can register with ICAI and prepare for the entry level test while pursuing 10+2 level study.
"It has been observed over the last 3 years that there has been more than a three-fold increase in the number of students who clear the CPT exam and enroll for articleship as compared to the years 2001-2005", an official from the ICAI said.
The performance of girls has been better than boys as is evident from the CPT exam results of June'08 wherein the pass percentage of girl students was 41.37 percent as against 36 percent of the boys.
In line with its efforts to enhance the efficiency in the conduct of examination, the ICAI, for the first time, successfully conducted an online Common Proficiency Test (CPT) on December 7, 2008 in 11 major cities.
