ICAI CA Foundation Examination Form Last Date

By admin CA Foundation ca career, ca foundation 0 Comments

After registration, candidates must submit the exam form when ICAI opens the online application window. This step officially confirms your participation in that exam cycle.

ICAI also provides a short grace period for late submissions, with an additional late fee.

If you mistakenly selected the wrong medium for the exam or exam center, don’t worry—ICAI opens a correction window after the exam form submission ends.

This window allows candidates to correct minor but important details without re-submitting the entire form.
