New exam schedule: Three sessions annually
In a significant change, ICAI has announced an updated schedule for the CA Foundation and Intermediate exams, starting from June 2024. The exams will now be held three times a year in January, May/June, and September. This move aims to provide candidates with more flexibility and opportunities to complete their CA certification within a shorter time frame. However, the CA Final exams will continue to be conducted biannually, in May and November.
This change comes as part of ICAI’s ongoing efforts to align with international standards and improve the accessibility of CA exams for students across India. The introduction of three exam sessions for the Foundation and Intermediate levels will allow students to manage their study timelines better and reduce the waiting period if they need to reattempt any exams.
ICAI’s support for aspiring chartered accountants
ICAI continues to support CA aspirants with resources like online study materials, mock tests, and webinars, which are available on their official website. These resources are aimed at helping students prepare effectively for the rigorous exam requirements.
In addition to educational resources, ICAI also offers a mentorship program to guide students through the various stages of the CA course. This program pairs students with experienced professionals who provide valuable insights, career guidance, and motivational support, helping them stay focused and motivated on their journey to becoming Chartered Accountants.
What’s next for successful candidates?
Candidates who have cleared the Foundation exam can now move forward to the Intermediate level, while those who passed the Intermediate exams will progress toward the Final exams. Passing each level of the CA exams is a significant achievement and opens doors to various career paths in accounting, auditing, finance, and consultancy.
For those who did not clear the exams this time, ICAI offers ample support through study resources and additional exam sessions under the new thrice-a-year schedule, allowing them to reattempt the exams sooner than before.
The release of the ICAI CA Foundation and Intermediate results marks an important milestone for CA aspirants across India. With the new thrice-yearly schedule, ICAI aims to make the CA certification journey more flexible, helping students achieve their career goals more efficiently. Candidates are advised to keep track of updates on the official ICAI websites and take advantage of the resources provided to prepare for future exam sessions.
