Is it possible to appear for IPCC without passing CPT after B.Com?

I have passed B.Com but couldn’t CPT. So can I appear for IPCC or not?

[Quick Sam]

CPT, IPCC all are the starting stages of CA course. It is a professional course in the field of commerce. It can be pursued after passing 12th. First stage is CPT. If you clear this then you will appear for IPCC and then you have to give CA final.

If you have done B.Com i.e. if you are a graduate then you need not to appear for CPT, you can directly give IPCC.
