CA Final, as the name suggests, is the final level of examinations for becoming a Chartered Accountant. One has to clear both the groups to be considered pass.
There are 8 subject papers for CA Final 2020 (old and new scheme) distributed in two groups. Each group has 4 papers which the candidates have to pass individually.
There are a total of 8 CA Final subjects as provided below:
One can not actually say if CA Final is tough. The reason is that there are people who clear both groups in a single attempt, and there are people who can not clear a single group in multiple attempts. So it's up to the level of understanding concepts and dedication towards preparation.
November 2020 is the last session for CA Final. However, candidates of old scheme willing to appear in new scheme of May 2020 can convert before February 1.
CA Final registration has a validity period of 5 years.

Hello
It needs complete dedication, hard work, and passion towards this course.
The vast syllabus of Chartered Accountancy is divided into 4 steps –
If you are planning to become Chartered Accountant in India through CA Foundation then we are taking an assumption that you have planned to appear in CA Foundation right after 12th.
CA Foundation is an entry-level test in order to pursue Chartered Accountancy. The course is much similar to your 11th and 12th standard (Commerce stream).
CA INTERMEDIATE will be your next level in the Chartered Accountancy journey after clearing CA Foundation. Some students who are graduates or postgraduates can also apply for the CA course through the Direct entry Scheme (https://www.vsijaipur.com/direct-entry-scheme-in-ca/) at the Intermediate level.
Candidates can start their Articleship Training (https://www.vsijaipur.com/ca-articleship-registration/) as soon as they passed any of the group of CA Intermediate. But before that, you must have undergone ITT and OT Program.
CA FINAL
This is the last step in the Chartered Accountants Journey and the biggest challenge. After completing both the groups of CA Intermediate one can register for CA Final (https://www.vsijaipur.com/icai-ca-final-registration-letter/) . Although, the candidate can appear in CA Final only when he has undergone through GMCS and Advanced ITT.
Hey
Great that you timely registered with ICAI under the course of CA Foundation as it makes you eligible to appear for May 2020 session. However you'll be receiving the official ICAI study material in hard copy, you can still access the CA Foundation study material online on ICAI's website itself in the BoS knowledge portal. The same is provided for May 2020 as well.
So kick start your preparation and prepare well.
