The Institute of Cost Accountants of India has decided to conduct December 2020 exams for Intermediate & Final Examinations online. The candidates have been given the following options -

  • Center-based online Mode
  • Home-based online mode

International professional bodies were already conducting online exams even before COVID19 hit the world. Institutes like CIMA conducted online exams from home in the light of COVID19. This is the first time where an Institute in finance professional courses have declared all exams to be held online in India. 

It would be interesting to see the response of ICAI with regards to CA examinations scheduled to be held in the month of Nov/Dec 20.

Will ICAI blink?

Or will they avoid following sister professional institute?

ICAI should not follow them... Not worth to make it completely online and that too with option from home... the credibility of the credentials will drastically go down for those appearing and passing...

I think ICAI may also think about the feasibility of conducting online exams. Already It has organised home based practical training assessment test to be held in forthcoming weeks, so it may learn from this exam.
