CA Students Advocate Anubha Sahai has circulated a Google form along with candidates pursuing Chartered Accountancy (CA) students to collect information regarding issues being faced by CA students across India due to the exams being held amidst the 18th Lok Sabha elections.
As we are aware, this is the election period, which will be held from April 19 to May 2024. The CA exams will be conducted by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) in May, alongside the 18th Lok Sabha elections.
Their concern is that as the dates clash with the Lok-Sabha Election most of the CA students will not be able to cast a vote this year.
So group of CA pursuing students have circulated a Google Form among all CA aspirants in order to compile a list of concerns to be included in a representation to the ICAI, demanding the postponement of the exams.
What is the Schedule For a CA Students protest?
Group-I Intermediate Course Exam 3,5, and 9 May 2024
Group II intermediate course exam:11,15 and 17 May 2024
General Election Schedule
The Lok Sabha elections will take place in various phases between April 19 to June 1 across India.
So their main concern is that as many as 90 per cent of the students appearing for the May session of CA exams would not be able to cast a vote this year due to the clashing schedules.
Accessibility is also a problem as for a few students who live far from their exam centres, to reach their exam centre due to election-induced traffic and road blockages.
No reaction has come from ICAI in this regard. So we expect that the authorities will pay attention to their demand and will come out with some solution.
