ICAI to conduct Placement Programme for Experienced Chartered Accountants

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India ( ICAI ) has decided to organize a campus placement programme for the Chartered Accountants having more than 5 years of experience.

In the recently concluded 49th Campus Placement programme at 17 centres across the nation, more than 9000 newly-qualified CAs registered and a total of highest-ever 3,815 offers were made in a number of industries with a record 57.21 per cent placement and highest-ever participation of recruiting national and international companies since the inception of the Institute. Second round of placement was also organized on 24th-26th April 2019, at 13 centres for the first time for left-out candidates to help them with job offers, where 46 organisations and their 58 interview teams participated. Around 600 candidates appeared for interview and 113 offers were made.

“It is again pleasure to acknowledge that lateral placement is being organised on 25th-28th June 2019 in Chennai, Kolkata, Mumbai and New Delhi, for the CA professionals who have 5-year experience or more and are looking for another opportunity. This is an extended dimension to the existing placement programmes at the Institute, which is organised twice a year to provide employment opportunities to the newly-qualified Chartered Accountants. Interested and eligible candidates may check and apply,” ICAI Chief CA. Prafulla P Chhajed said in a statement.

“With about 1,500 more offers made than what our newly-qualified CAs had got last year and with a two-fold increase in the highest salary offered, this positive development certainly indicates a higher demand for Chartered Accountants across sectors this year and at a brighter future ahead. This trend is quite encouraging for the profession, considering the increased focus on regulatory compliances and best governance practices in present times,” he said.
