ICAI CA Exam: Students Want November Session Exams Postponed
Amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, students have demanded postponement of the ICAI CA exams. The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) is set to conduct the November session of exams in offline mode. On Tuesday, students took to social media and expressed their unwillingness to appear in the offline exams, citing health and safety concerns.
“Dear ICAI, Kindly address the students' concerns on November exams. Many people are affected with COVID including our CA aspirants. It is a humble request to postpone the exams for another month. Please consider the lives of CA students and their families,” one social media post said.
Previously, ICAI increased the number of examination centres to facilitate social distancing. Students, however, have said that offline exams come with serious health risks.
“Don't postpone exams but give us surety of our loved ones we did not sign up for govt exams for a reason @theicai we signed up for a better management please look at a way out I request you lets not delay our future but lets not play with our lives,” a student said.
According to the official announcement on the website - icia.org, "Students who have opted for the examination centre from the State of Bihar and other stakeholders may note that the Institute has taken note of the schedule of Election and shall take needful appropriate steps to ensure interests of its students appearing from the examination Centres from the State of Bihar."
