Candidates appearing for the examination must carry a printed copy of their CA Intermediate admit card along with an original, valid photo identity document. Acceptable IDs include an Aadhaar card, PAN card, Voter ID, Passport or Driving Licence.

Students are advised to reach their examination centres well in advance to avoid delays during entry and verification. They should carefully check the examination centre address and reporting instructions mentioned on their admit card before leaving for the exam.

Candidates should also ensure that they carry only permitted items into the examination hall and follow all instructions issued by ICAI and the respective examination centre. Keeping essential documents ready the previous evening can help avoid last-minute difficulties.

With the first paper scheduled for September 1, candidates should use the remaining preparation time for quick revision of formulas, concepts, important provisions, practical questions and frequently reviewed topics rather than attempting to cover large portions of new material.
