This is socking news for those candidates, who are preparing the CPT exam.

The president of ICAI Mr. Devaraja Reddy said, “From November onwards the CPT examination route will be scrapped as the Ministry of Corporate Affairs has given its approval. It is now lying with the Ministry of Law and Justice.”
