ICAI seeks input from candidates on May 2025 CA exams

The call for feedback on the question papers of the CA Final, Intermediate, Foundation, and Post Qualification Course – INTT-AT examinations by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) is an initiative designed to address any concerns or feedback raised by candidates who took the exams earlier this month. Candidates are invited to submit their feedback via email to [email protected] or by Speed Post, and the feedback must reach the institute by 24 May 2025. To ensure validity, the submissions should include the candidate’s name, registration number, roll number, email ID, and mobile number.

The feedback from candidates will be carefully reviewed by the ICAI’s examination department, as this feedback mechanism plays a crucial role in maintaining “high standards” in the examination process. This interactive feedback process allows candidates to share their experiences, concerns, and suggestions, contributing to the ongoing improvement of the examination system.

In addition to the feedback mechanism, ICAI has recently announced the launch of Free Live Virtual Revisionary Classes (LVRC) starting on 14 May 2025. These classes, offered by the Board of Studies (Academic), aim to support students preparing for the CA final examination in September 2025, providing them with valuable guidance and revision strategies to enhance their preparation.

This strategic move follows ICAI’s release of the eligibility criteria for candidates planning to appear for the CA final examinations in September 2025 and January 2026. The guidelines emphasize the completion of articleship, course participation, and Self-Paced Online Modules (SPOM) as necessary requirements for candidates to qualify for the exams, ensuring that students meet the essential criteria for examination eligibility.

Moreover, in a collaborative effort with the Securities and Exchange Board of India, ICAI has taken steps to increase vigilance against corporate frauds. As part of this partnership, ICAI will develop a research document aimed at identifying and mitigating financial fraud within the corporate sector. This initiative highlights ICAI’s commitment to promoting integrity and ethical practices in the financial industry and protecting stakeholders from potential fraudulent activities.

Overall, these various initiatives undertaken by ICAI demonstrate a proactive approach to engaging with candidates, providing them with valuable resources, support, and opportunities for feedback. By actively involving candidates in the examination process, ICAI aims to enhance transparency, accountability, and credibility in the chartered accountancy profession, ensuring that candidates are well-prepared and equipped to meet the challenges of the evolving financial landscape.
