• CA Final November 2026 Group I is scheduled for 2, 4 & 6 November 2026, and Group II for 9, 11 & 13 November 2026 — useful context for CA Intermediate candidates planning their onward journey

Last-Minute Preparation Tips (Added Insight)

• CA Foundation candidates: Focus on strengthening Accounting fundamentals and Business Law definitions first, since these form the base for later levels too; practice numerical questions from Business Mathematics & Statistics daily for speed
• CA Intermediate candidates: Prioritize high-weightage chapters in Advanced Accounting and Taxation, and revise amendments/recent case laws in Corporate & Other Laws closer to the exam date
• Solve at least 2–3 previous year question papers or RTPs (Revision Test Papers) under timed conditions before the exam
• Double-check your admit card details (name, photo, centre, papers/groups) as soon as you download it — don’t wait till exam day to spot an error
• Keep your ID proof and admit card together in one folder so nothing is missed while leaving for the exam centre
• Reach the centre at least 30–45 minutes before the reporting time to avoid last-minute rush and security-check queues
