11th November 2011


Computer based Mock Common Proficiency Test (CPT)

ICAI has been working on a cost effective scalable model, for quite some time, for conducting an on-line/computer based Common Proficiency Test (CPT), to cater to a large number of candidates on a nation wide level.

It has now been decided to test the technical feasibility/efficacy of the computer based CPT model that has been developed.

Accordingly, it has been decided to conduct a computer based Mock CPT on Saturday 26th November 2011 for the candidates who have applied for appearing in the Paper Pencil CPT to be held on 18th December 2011.

This test is meant to be a practice test for the academic guidance of the candidates. It is not mandatory to take this test. It is purely optional. It is not held under Regulation 25D of the Chartered Accountants Regulations 1988 and the result of this Mock Test shall not have any bearing/impact whatsoever on the CPT paper pencil mode exam scheduled to be held on 18th December 2011 or for admission to Integrated Professional Competence Course. In other words, the mock CPT is just to assess the technical feasibility of the software developed for computer based examination.
