What is IPCC? The full form of IPCC is the Integrated Professional Competence Course

The second or second-level course towards a CA (Chartered Accountancy) degree is called the IPCC. The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) oversees its curriculum. 

After passing this Integrated Professional Competence Course, a candidate can move on to the final stage of chartered accounting. Before taking the IPCC test, applicants need to take the CA CPT (Chartered Accountancy Common Proficiency Test). 

Following the successful completion of the course, an exam known as the IPCE (Integrated Professional Competence Examination) is administered. The curriculum for IPCE combines academic and practical instruction. The applicants must take seven papers divided into two categories.
