ICAI CA Exams 2025
ICAI CA Exams 2025: For thousands of aspiring Chartered Accountants, the month of September 2025 was supposed to mark an important step in their professional journey. However, unexpected circumstances have forced a delay. The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) has officially announced the postponement of the CA Final and Intermediate exams scheduled for September 3 and 4, 2025, in certain regions of Punjab and Jammu City.The decision comes in light of the incessant rainfall and severe flooding that has disrupted normal life across parts of these states. ICAI clarified that the postponement will apply only to candidates appearing in Amritsar, Bathinda, Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Mandi, Gobindgarh, Pathankot, Patiala, Sangrur, and Jammu City. For candidates in all other regions, the exams will be conducted as per the previously announced schedule.

ICAI Exam Dates for September 2025

While the exams in the flood-affected regions have been deferred, ICAI has reassured students that other details remain unchanged as per the earlier notification issued on May 30, 2025.

  • CA Final (Group 1): September 3, 6, 8, 2025
  • CA Final (Group 2): September 10, 12, 14, 2025
  • CA Intermediate (Group 1): September 4, 7, 9, 2025
  • CA Intermediate (Group 2): September 11, 13, 15, 2025

Paper 6 of the Final Examination will run for 4 hours, while all other papers will have a 3-hour duration. Additionally, candidates will receive 15 minutes of extra time to read the question paper before the exam begins.

A Relief for Students Amid Crisis

This decision by ICAI is being seen as a student friendly step, considering the safety and well-being of candidates. With the natural disaster affecting transport, communication, and daily life in Punjab and Jammu, the postponement ensures that no student is put at risk or left disadvantaged due to circumstances beyond their control.

ICAI has urged students to stay updated through its official website icai.org for revised exam dates in the affected centres.

Conclusion

The sudden postponement of exams may feel like an added challenge for candidates who have prepared for months. But it also reflects ICAI’s commitment to fairness, safety, and student welfare. While aspirants in other states will go ahead as per the timetable, those in Punjab and Jammu will soon receive fresh exam schedules, giving them time to adjust and refocus.
