CA Intermediate exams commence; candidates urged to follow guidelines

The CA Intermediate September 2026 examinations officially commenced today, with thousands of candidates appearing at designated centres across the country. The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) has mandated that all aspirants obtain and print their admit cards prior to entering examination halls. The admit cards serve as mandatory credentials for verification and entry to the examination premises.

Candidates have been instructed to adhere strictly to all official guidelines issued by ICAI to ensure smooth conduct of the examinations. These directives cover conduct within examination halls, permissible materials, timing protocols, and other procedural requirements that candidates must observe during the examination period.

The Intermediate level qualification is a critical stage in the chartered accountancy professional pathway in India. Successful completion of this examination is essential for candidates progressing towards their final qualification and eventual registration as practising chartered accountants.

Candidates are advised to carefully review all instructions provided alongside their admit cards and arrive at examination centres with adequate time before the scheduled commencement. The ICAI has urged candidates to maintain compliance with all examination protocols to avoid any complications during the examination process.
