Over 1.58 lakh students are expected to appear for these crucial exams across India. The updated dates come after ICAI postponed the earlier schedule due to security concerns in the country. Originally, the exams were planned for May 9 to May 14, but were rescheduled to ensure the safety and well-being of students.

The Post Qualification Course exam in International Taxation – Assessment Test (INTT AT) will also be conducted during this same period – from May 16 to May 24.

This decision was made following “favourable developments in the country’s security situation,” according to the ICAI’s statement. The institute assured candidates that the revised schedule has been carefully decided to avoid further disruptions.
