Will the CA Inter and Final May 2025 exams be postponed again?

Earlier, the ICAI decided to postpone the CA May 2025 exams scheduled between May 9 and May 14, 2025 due to the rising national security concerns following the recent terror attack. Shortly after this, the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) announced the revised CA May 2025 exam dates for Inter and Final on its official website.

Will the CA Inter and Final May 2025 exams be postponed again?

Now it is highly unlikely that ICAI will again postpone the CA Inter and Final May 2025 exam. As the situation between India and Pakistan has de-escalated now. Therefore, no, the exams will not be postponed.

Candidates scheduled to appear for the CA Intermediate and the CA Final exams are advised to continue their preparations diligently and refrain from paying attention to rumours or unverified information related to the ICAI CA May 2025 exam schedule.

The exams will proceed as scheduled, even if the exam day is declared a public or local holiday.

Will ICAI also postpone the CA Foundation May 2025 exams?

No, ICAI will not postpone the CA Foundation exam dates for the May 2025 session. As there was no specific mention regarding the rescheduling of the CA Foundation exam in the official notification, it is thus presumed to remain unchanged. The CA Foundation exams will be conducted as per schedule on May 15, 17, 19 and 21, 2025.

Hi,

For being eligible for the direct entry route in CA i.e for giving CA Intermediate exam directly without apppearing for the CA foundation exam you need to atleast complete your graduation. Since you have just completed your second semester exam you are not eligible for the direct entry route as you have not completed your graduation. Hence, you must prepare for your CA foundation exam first . Only when you clear CA foundation you will be eligibe for appearing for your CA intermediate exam.

Hope this helps
