The ICAI CA Final syllabus has been updated under the New Scheme of Education and Training.
Under the current curriculum, the elective papers (formerly Paper 6A to 6F) have been discontinued. There is no longer an option to select an elective subject in the second group.
Updated CA Final Subject Structure
Instead of the previous elective system, the CA Final course now consists of six mandatory papers divided into two groups:
| Group |
Paper |
Subject |
| Group I |
Paper 1 |

Paper 2 |
Advanced Financial Management |

Paper 3 |
Advanced Auditing, Assurance and Professional Ethics |
| Group II |
Paper 4 |
Direct Tax Laws & International Taxation |
| |
Paper 5 |

Paper 6 |

Key Changes
-
Integrated Business Solutions: Paper 6 is now a mandatory "Integrated Business Solutions" paper, which is a multidisciplinary case study-based exam that incorporates Strategic Management.
-
Removal of Electives: You no longer need to choose from the previous list of subjects (Risk Management, International Taxation, Economic Laws, etc.). These topics have either been integrated into the core papers or are no longer part of the final exam structure.
Summary: The elective system (Papers 6A–6F) has been removed. All students are now required to appear for the same six papers, with Paper 6 being the mandatory "Integrated Business Solutions" exam.
