Yes, CEC students can register for CA Foundation — mathematics is not mandatory for eligibility. However, the quantitative aptitude paper requires extra preparation since CEC drops maths. Students serious about CA usually prefer MEC.
CEC is arguably the best group for CLAT. Civics covers legal and constitutional concepts, Economics is directly tested, and the lighter academic load leaves time for dedicated CLAT coaching.
