FAQ :
No, the Supreme Court confirmed it will not issue directions to postpone the July 2021 CA exams.
The Supreme Court is considering the plea for an opt-out facility and a decision will be made on 30th June 2021.
The court suggested that the ICAI relax the condition of requiring an RT-PCR positive report, as it can be difficult to obtain and may not accurately reflect a candidate's inability to appear. Alternative certifications were proposed.
The ICAI stated that the opt-out benefit will be given to students who are directly or indirectly affected by COVID-19 and face difficulties in appearing for the exams.
The court also discussed maintaining the exclusivity of exam centres, ensuring invigilators have RT-PCR tests, providing options for last-minute centre changes, and allowing candidates affected by COVID during the exam to take remaining papers in the next cycle.
