Deadline Extended Till This Date For CA Students To Complete OC, IT Training

New Delhi: The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) has decided to extend the last date for the completion of the orientation course or IT training by CA students till June 30.

Earlier the last date was May 31. The ICAI has decided to extend the deadline as a one-time measure.

According to the policy of CA Education and Training, a student must complete Integrated Course on Information Technology and Soft Skills (ICITSS) consisting of Information Technology Training (ITT) and Orientation Course (OC) each of 15 days before enrolling for practical training.

“Due to the prevailing COVID situation, the Institute has given relaxation to such category of students time to time who has joined the practical training (article ship) without completing ITT/OC. The Council in its 401st meeting noted that there are few students who are yet to complete ITT/OC before 31st May, 2021,” ICAI said via an official statement.

“The students who do not complete their OC/ITT on or before 30th June,2021 as per above extension, their practical training (article ship) period will be extended in direct proportion to the delay in completion of OC/ITT i.e. if they complete their OC/ITT on 25th July, 2021 their articleship period will be extended by 25 days and so on,” the statement further said.
