According to Mitra, the curriculum needs revision because of significant changes like Goods and Service Tax and to meet the industry’s demands. “The first draft of the curriculum has already been approved by the council. There is a lot of emphasis on technology in the curriculum. We are talking about sustainable reporting which was not there in earlier times,” said Mitra.

To widen its reach, ICAI has decided to extend a 75 percent concession in registration course fee for all levels of CA courses to the students registering from Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh and eight North-East states, namely, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, Tripura and Andaman and Nicobar Islands till March 31, 2025.

ICAI is also planning to launch a “New Scheme for Education and Training”, focussing on the development of higher-order skills of application, analysis and interpretation. A special feature of the new scheme would be the mandatory multi-disciplinary case study at the final level, which would help students integrate professional knowledge in different subject areas, analyse and apply such knowledge in problem-solving.

Emphasizing on application-based learning Mitra said, “We are going to see how much of an open book system we can have and ask case study-based questions. The push is towards application of mind and knowing the latest that is happening in the field,” he explained. The scheme also intends to focus more on practical training and will also offer self-paced online modules, where working students can learn and qualify at their own pace.
