Chartered Accountants body clarifies CA exam centre allotment decision
"Due to paucity of accommodation in certain zones opted by the candidates in the cities of Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Bhopal, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Pune and Vadodara some of the candidates have been allotted examinations centres in the zone other than the zone opted by them in the said cities," said Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) in a statement on centre allocation for CA exams scheduled to begin from May last week. In view of this, ICAI also said, "It is not possible to accede to the requests of the candidates for transfer to an examination centre in a particular zone of the city opted by them".
Similarly, the ICAI statement also added that certain students who had opted Mallappuram City have been shifted to Kozhikode City.
"While inconvenience caused in the matter is deeply regretted, we seek the cooperation from the ICAI students and other stakeholders in this regard," the statement on ICAI CA exam centres said.
