Along with at least 50% in other disciplines, eligibility in India and other countries typically requires a minimum of 65% in Mathematics, Accounts, and English.
Candidates who recently finished their Class 10 exams or don't meet the prerequisites can still register for the ACCA Course using the Foundation in Accountancy (FIA) path.
