Udaipur, March 28, 2025 - The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) has announced a major change in the CA Final exam schedule. From 2025, the CA Final exams will be held three times a year, aligning with the Intermediate and Foundation course exams.

In a statement issued on Thursday, ICAI said, “In order to align with global best practices and provide students with greater opportunities, the 26th Council of the ICAI has taken a historic decision to hold the CA Final exam three times a year.” Previously, the exam was conducted twice a year.

“These epoch-making decisions will significantly benefit both students and members, offering them enhanced opportunities for success. This move marks a new era in the way we support and guide our future Chartered Accountants. ICAI is working 24/7 for the growth of its members and students. This historic decision will ensure that both students and professionals have abundant opportunities to excel in their careers.” - CA. Charanjot Singh Nanda, President, ICAI
