The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) will hold the CA Final November 2026 examination in two groups, starting 2 November 2026. Admit cards have been released on the ICAI e-services portal, and ICAI does not send printed copies by post.
CA Final November 2026 Exam Dates
| Group | Exam Dates |
|---|---|
| Group 1 | 2, 4 and 6 November 2026 |
| Group 2 | 9, 11 and 13 November 2026 |
Candidates appearing in both groups write six papers over 12 days, with a one-day gap between papers. The gap between Group 1 and Group 2 is only two days (7 and 8 November), so most of the Group 2 revision has to be completed before the exam starts.
How to Download the CA Final Admit Card
- Visit eservices.icai.org.
- Log in with your Self Service Portal (SSP) username and password.
- Open the CA Final November 2026 examination section.
- Click the admit card link, download the PDF and print it.
Check your name, registration number, photograph, group and exam centre. If anything is wrong, raise it with ICAI through the e-services helpdesk immediately, because corrections take time.
Exam Day Rules to Remember
- Carry the printed admit card to every paper; the same admit card is used for all papers.
- Carry an original photo ID as advised in the admit card instructions.
- Reach the centre well before the reporting time printed on the admit card.
- Mobile phones, smart watches and programmable calculators are not allowed. Only the type of calculator permitted by ICAI may be used.
- Do not write anything on the admit card.
How to Use the Gaps Between Papers
With one day between most papers, use each gap for quick revision rather than new topics:
- Morning: revise summary notes, formats and important standards for the next paper.
- Afternoon: solve two or three past-paper questions under time limits.
- Evening: revise amendments and case-study style questions, then rest early.
Candidates writing both groups should keep a separate short revision file for Group 2 papers, so the two days after Group 1 are used efficiently.
After the Exam
ICAI usually announces CA Final results within about two months of the exam. Keep your admit card safe until the result is out, since your roll number is needed to check it.
