CA Exams Postponed to May 2021: Navigating Exam Preparation Effectively
According to the latest announcements by the ICAI, the CA exams will be conducted in May 2021. Initially scheduled for January 2021, the exams have been postponed due to delays in result announcements which were announced late in March 2021. The new timetable for the postponed CA Final exams for both old and new courses can be found here.
ICAI's Management and Smooth Conduct of Past Exams
Many are questioning whether the Institute will be able to manage another exam within the next five months. However, the Nov-2020 and Jan-2021 exams were conducted smoothly at the national level by the ICAI. There is no clear reason to believe that the May-2021 exams will be impacted by these previous exams.
However, the concern arises from the recent surge in Coronavirus cases. With the current trend, it remains uncertain whether the May-2021 exams will proceed as planned. Nevertheless, it is important for candidates to adhere to their study schedules and revise rigorously. Even if the exams get postponed, utilize this period for multiple revisions to gain an edge over your competitors in the May-2021 attempt. Do not slack off thinking the exams will be postponed; many students are diligently working day and night to prepare for the exam.
Preparation and Examination Safety
The ICAI has ensured that the examination centers were clean, sanitized, and the procedures organized during the previously conducted exams. This level of preparedness indicates that the upcoming May-2021 exams will also be conducted under similar safe conditions. Stay updated with your preparations and stay optimistic. Every effort you put in now will pay off in the end.
Exam Management and Future Possibilities
Given that the ICAI exams circle for November and May have already been disturbed, there is a high chance that the exams might be postponed again. If the exams are not conducted in May 2021, they may be split into two phases, similar to how the November 2020 exams were managed. If you are not well-prepared, it would be wise to focus on either Group 2 or Group 1 or target 2 to 3 subjects for exemption. This will save you the time and effort wasted on multiple subjects and help you focus on the subjects where you can shine the most. With the delay by a month, you can prepare for an additional subject, thereby increasing your chances of clearing more groups.
