ICAI Exam: Supreme Court refuses to postpone CA Exam 2024

Supreme Court

While hearing a petition today for the postponement of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) Chartered Accountancy (CA) exams due to the ongoing Lok Sabha election 2024, the Supreme Court refused to intervene in the matter.
A bench led by Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud held that altering the exam dates would disrupt the extensive arrangements already in place for the conduct of the exams and that it could result in grave injustice for some students, according to Bar and Bench.

"Scheduling of exams pertains to policy decisions. But weighing the importance of right to vote we have examined the proposition of candidates who shall be appearing for exams and would also need to vote. 591 centres are there and no exams on polling dates. At this stage when 4 lakh plus students have enrolled any relief at this stage would result in grave prejudice," the Court said.

The exams are scheduled to begin on May 2, 2024 and hall tickets have been issued on eservices.icai.org.

ICAI has scheduled the intermediate and final exams in two groups. The Intermediate Group 1 exams will take place on May 3, 5, and 9, with Group 2 following on May 11, 15, and 17. The Final exams for Group 1 are set for May 2, 4, and 8, and Group 2 on May 10, 14, and 16.
