As the Chartered Accountancy aspirants have thronged the internet to check for the rescheduled dates for CA exams, the official website of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India or ICAI, the industry body that regulates the CA education in India, has not been responding.
When contacted, an ICAI official told Timeline that there is no official confirmation from ICAI is available currently and the students will be notified about the dates as and when it is decided by the Institute.
“No confirmation on the rescheduled from ICAI as of now. If the Institute takes a call on this, the examinees will be intimated on that as and when it happens,” the official told Timeline.
According to the date sheet released by ICAI earlier, the Foundation course examinations will be conducted on June 20, 22, 24, and 26 in 2024, which will be held as announced earlier as the Lok Sabha election and its results will be concluded by June.
However, Group I’s intermediate course exams are scheduled for May 3, 5, and 7, 2024, while Group II’s exams are scheduled for May 9, 11, and 13, 2024, and this schedule may get affected as hinted by an ICAI official earlier.
Dhiraj Khandelwal, an ICAI official had earlier said that, after announcement of election date, the exam schedule should be the same in May itself and there are clashing dates like 7th and 13th May, and suggested to postpone the exams to 15th and 16th May.
Mr Khandelwal has also said the clarity on the dates will be available on March 19. This release has currently said to be the reason behing the website crashing.
