What is the CA Foundation Exam?
The CA Foundation is the entry-level examination for the Chartered Accountancy course in India. The exam is held three times a year, typically in May, September, and January. Commerce students can register for the exam after passing their Class 12th, making it an ideal professional path right after school.
📘 Foundation Course – New Scheme of Education and Training (NSET)
The Foundation Course is the first step into the Chartered Accountancy journey under ICAI’s New Scheme of Education and Training (NSET). Officially implemented on July 1, 2023, following the Gazette notification on June 22, 2023, this revamp aligns the CA program with global education standards and India’s National Education Policy 2020.
The scheme emphasizes outcome-based learning, skill enhancement, and practical knowledge, offering a future-ready approach for aspiring CAs.
