Here is an evaluation of this result card for **CA (ICAP)** admissions in Pakistan: --- ### 1. Eligibility Status: **FULLY ELIGIBLE** ✅ * **ICAP Minimum Criterion:** A minimum of **50% aggregate marks** in Higher Secondary School Certificate (HSSC / Intermediate) or equivalent. * **Your Aggregate:** **$783 / 1200$ ($\approx 65.25\%$)** *(or $71.18\%$ if total is evaluated out of 1100)*. * **Verdict:** You comfortably clear ICAP’s entry threshold for the **PRC (Pre-Requisite Competency)** stage. --- ### 2. Stream Transition (Pre-Medical $\rightarrow$ CA) Since the subject combination is **Pre-Medical (Biology, Physics, Chemistry)**: * **No Subject Restriction:** ICAP accepts students from all academic backgrounds (Pre-Medical, Pre-Engineering, ICS, Commerce, Humanities). * **PRC Subjects You Will Study:** 1. Business Communication (PRC-1) 2. Quantitative Methods (Mathematics & Statistics) (PRC-2) 3. Principles of Financial Accounting (PRC-3) 4. Introduction to Business & Economics (PRC-4) 5. Fundamentals of Business Laws (PRC-5) > **Key Advantage:** Pre-medical students generally possess strong study discipline and analytical habits, which makes learning Accounting and Business Law very manageable with standard effort. --- ### 3. Next Steps for Admission 1. **Choose a RAET:** Select a Registered Accounting Education Tutor (e.g., PAC, SKANS, CFE, CAPS, etc.) for PRC coaching. 2. **ICAP Student Registration:** Register online via the [ICAP Student Portal](https://www.icap.org.pk/) using your intermediate result card/transcripts. 3. **PRC Exams:** PRC exams are computer-based (MCQ format) and held monthly/quarterly. You can clear them within 3 to 6 months.
