When can a Candidate Appear for his/her First Exam?

A students eligibility to appear at an examination is dependent on two factors

1. Date of registration and
2. Obtaining the Coaching Completion Certificate (CC).

A student to appear at a certain examination should have registered before the cut off date in relation to that examination and should have also obtained the CC by the time of making application for the examination.
Students registering

• Before Dec 15^th can appear for One group in the June Examination Next Year

[Register before 15^th December 2009 – To attempt June 2010 Exam in One Group]

• Both groups in the December Examination Next Year

[Register before 15^th December 2009 – To attempt December 2010 Exam In Both Groups]

• Both groups in the June Examination Next Year

[Register before 15^th June 2009 – To attempt June 2010 Exam In Both Groups]

Being eligible for both groups implies that the student can attempt the first/second/both groups as per his/her choice. Where the student is eligible for attempting one group, he/she can choose any one of the two group. However, he/she should be completing the coaching requirements for the group that he/she intends to attempt.

Which Group should a Student Appear in First ?

A student can appear in any one of the groups at his choice or both the groups provided he has the CC for them.

The group in which he appears first is his choice and there is no rule that the first group should be attempted first.
However it should be clear that you can pursue the final (final course) only on completing both the modules i.e. the Intermediate course/level.

Medium for Writing the Examinations

Intermediate Level examinations can be written either in ENGLISH or HINDI medium. A student has to mention the preference of medium at the time of making the application for examination.

The option to answer papers in HINDI should be exercised in total. Paper wise option is not available. The papers of a candidate who has not exercised his option to answer papers in Hindi, but answers them in Hindi, would not be valued.
In the absence of clear indication of preference at the time of making the application for examination, English will be taken as the preferred medium.

Maximum Number of Attempts

The restrictions on the number of attempts may come into operation on account of:

1. The maximum number of attempts allowed getting exhausted.
2. The registration getting expired.
3. The validity period of the EC/CC getting expired

Maximum Number of Attempts

There is no specific mention regarding the maximum number of attempts

Expiry of Registration

The registration for the Intermediate is valid for a period of 5 years from the month in which his/her application, complete in all respects, is accepted for registration.

Expiry of CC

The CC is valid for a period of 3 years from the date of issue.

The candidate can revalidate the CC by a process called Revalidation of CC when it is expired or renew the registration when it is canceled. The candidate after revalidating his/her CC would be in the same position as if his/her CC is valid. This amounts to having no restriction on the number of attempts that one can make at the intermediate examination
However, the student whose registration has been cancelled on account of the expiry of the 5 year period subsequent to registration will not be permitted to attempt the examinations until he/she gets their registration revalidated by de novo registration.
