On June 22, 2021 The Supreme Court of India will hear a plea seeking extra attempt and opt-out option exam. The petition filed by CA students has asked for the Supreme Court’s direction to the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) to incorporate an opt-out facility within the CA May session examination, allowing students to hold forward their candidature to the next session of these exams.

 The plea within the Supreme Court has also prayed for an additional plan to Intermediate and Final year students appearing under the old syllabus. On Monday, June 21, 2021 the institute has, however, provided Covid-affected students and choice to opt-out from CA Final, Inter, IPC and PQC exams scheduled between July 5 and July 20, 2021, and from the CA Foundation exams from July 24 to July 30, 2021.

An official statement issued during this regard said, Students who are opt-out from the May/July cycle of exams are going to be allowed to seem in the November cycle. “The last attempt of the old course for Final and Intermediate (IPC) examinations shall be extended to November 2021 examinations only for those students who are allowed to opt out from May/July 2021 examinations,”.

The ICAI CA opt-out facility are going to be for students who test positive for COVID-19, and for students with an infected family member – parents, grandparents, spouse, children, and siblings – residing in the same premises.

The Supreme Court plea by Advocate Anubha Shrivastava Sahai has also sought for a rise in the number of CA exam centres. It said there should be “at least one examination centre in every district in India” and therefore the exams should be held during a staggered manner.

The petition has also prayed for the Supreme Court’s directions to the authorities to make sure free transport and accommodation to the scholars. Admit cards for the exam could also be treated as e-passes to make sure smooth movement of scholars appearing within the CA exams, it added.
