A transition period of one year (i.e. 2 examination diets) commencing from January 2014 will be allowed. In other words, the old Syllabus and the new Syllabus will run concurrently for one year (2014) i.e. both will be used for April 2014 and October 2014 Professional Examinations. The new syllabus will thereafter constitute the only basis for the Examination from April 2015 diet. Subjects hitherto passed in the Old Syllabus will be carried as passed in the New Syllabus.
