  1. i was complete the foundation course from ICWAI. can i get the any exemption in ICSI course. but ICWAI
    course was not complete by me.

  2. i got above 60% mark in my GCL paper of executive module 1…bt did nt passed the group…
    will i get exemption in my next attempt?

  3. I have appeared in ICWA FINAL in Dec'10 .Now I want to admit in ICSI .After pass out ICWA , can I get exemption in ICSI exam ?

  4. I've done principles of cost accounting, Strategic Cost Accounting and Management Control and corporate tax in MBA. is it possible to get exemption for Tax law and cost & management accounting in executive programme.

  5. I had completed ICWA and had taken admission in Company secretaryship Course.

    I just want to know whether i need to submit ET's for exempted subjects also.

  6. hey vikas,
    hi there,

    yes you can take admission in both courses together but that does not make you eligible to attain any kind of exemption in any of both of the courses coz the exemption is available only to final passed student of one or other course,It is also hectic to manage studying both the courses together(its like boating in two boats at one time with greater possibility of sinking).

    So what i would suggest you is that go for one course at a time clear it and than go for another it gives you benefit of claiming exemption also in that other secondary course you opt for.In case you are extra ordinary brains go for both at the end the decision is all yours.

    hope you had your query satisfied for any further query keep poasting you will always get your answers here.
    -regards
    kratika 🙂
