The Council of The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) has made a significant decision to conduct the Chartered Accountancy (CA) exams three times a year starting 2024. The decision was announced during the 430th meeting of the ICAI held on March 7, 2024, in New Delhi.
The council has opted to schedule the exams in January, May/June, and September. Previously, the exams were only held in May/June and January. The exams will now be conducted three times for both Intermediate and Foundation courses.
An official statement from ICAI stated, "To better accommodate students, Intermediate and Foundation course examinations will now be held three times a year, in January, May/June, and September. Previously, both exams were held twice annually. Globally, exams are more frequent, providing students with more opportunities to participate. Taking this into consideration, ICAI has aligned itself with global best practices."
With this new decision, students will have increased opportunities to sit for the exams. Additionally, the interval between exams has been reduced from 6 months to 4 months.
The official release from ICAI mentioned that this move will be advantageous for students who have completed their study period, allowing them to sit for the exams without waiting for an additional 2 months.
In the upcoming May/June 2024 examination, approximately 4,36,500 students have already enrolled.
