In another notification , ICAI has extended the time to complete the Information Technology Training (ITT) and Orientation Course (OC). All students can now complete OC/ITT on or before 30 June. Earlier the last date to complete it was 31 May. The decision was taken in the 401st meeting of the board held recently. Those who will not be able to complete their OC/ITT on or before 30 June, their article ship will be extended in direct proportion to the delay in completion of OC/ITT.

What is OC/ITT?

As per the norms of CA education and training, a student needs to complete the Integrated Course on Information Technology and Soft Skills (ICITSS) which comprises Information Technology Training (ITT) and Orientation Course (OC). Both ITT and OC should be at least 15 days each and must be completed before registering for practical training.
