It is highly recommended that candidates go over the entire paper right away. In order to make the required modifications, any inconsistencies should be notified right away to the ICAI authorities.
Without a current, printed copy of their ICAI-issued admission card, no candidate will be allowed to enter the testing location. We won’t accept digital copies on cell phones or other devices.
The ICAI Self Service Portal (SSP) on the institute’s e-services website is the only way to obtain the admit card. Unofficial portals should be avoided by candidates.
The last stage of preparation starts when the admit cards are released. Students should prioritize their study plans, make advance travel plans to test locations, and make sure they have all necessary paperwork on hand.
