ICAI Commences CA Final November 2026 Examinations

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) has officially commenced the CA Final examinations for the November 2026 session. The testing process is being conducted in an offline mode for all registered candidates who have been issued valid admit cards.

The examination schedule is currently underway, with the first paper having been administered today. The assessment process is set to continue throughout the month, with the final paper scheduled for November 13, 2026. Candidates are reminded that their participation is contingent upon the possession of their official hall ticket and a valid form of identification, both of which are mandatory for entry into the examination hall.

Examination Schedule and Essential Guidelines

Following today's opening session, the remaining papers are slated to take place on November 04, November 06, November 09, November 11, and November 13. These dates correspond to the examination schedule for Paper 2 through Paper 6. It is essential for all appearing students to verify their specific exam timings and ensure they arrive at their designated centres well in advance to facilitate a smooth entry process.

For the conduct of the examinations, the ICAI has outlined specific protocols to ensure integrity and consistency across all centres. Candidates are expected to strictly adhere to these instructions throughout the duration of the session. Failure to comply with the established exam day guidelines may result in complications during the verification or testing process.

A specific provision has been made regarding Paper 6, for which candidates are permitted to carry reference materials. This includes study materials, practice manuals, revisionary test papers provided by the ICAI, textbooks, bare Acts, and personal notes or other reference materials prepared by the students. Candidates should ensure that any materials brought into the hall for this specific paper align with these official guidelines to avoid any issues with invigilators. All students are encouraged to remain focused on the remaining schedule as the November 2026 session progresses toward its conclusion on November 13.
