How the Budget and Finance Act cycle reaches your attempt, how ICAI signals applicability cut-offs, and how to maintain a single amendment record you can actually revise from.

Career guides
Where chartered accountants go after qualifying, how practice and industry differ in daily reality, and how to choose an articleship that widens rather than narrows your options.
Eligibility & registration
Who is eligible at each level under the New Scheme, what each registration requires, and the sequencing errors that cost students an entire attempt.

Please note
These guides are study and planning aids prepared by Kartavvya, which is not affiliated with ICAI. Eligibility conditions, registration windows, fees, exam frequency and applicability cut-offs are set by ICAI and change between attempts — the New Scheme of Education and Training in particular has revised several of them. Always verify the current position on icai.org and in ICAI's announcements for your attempt before acting on anything here.
