FAQ :

Students must wear a face mask at all times, carry a personal hand sanitiser, maintain social distancing, and arrive at the centre at least one hour before the exam.

Students with a fever detected during thermal scanning will not be allowed to enter. However, if they provide a medical certificate from an MBBS doctor stating the fever is not COVID-19 related, they may be permitted entry.

Wearing a face mask is mandatory. ICAI will provide masks on a need basis if a student forgets theirs.

Students whose residences fall within a containment zone can apply to opt-out by providing proof. They will be shifted to the November 2020 examination cycle with their fees and exemptions carried forward.

No, once a student chooses the 'opt-out' option, they cannot later decide to appear for the July 2020 examinations.

Students without access to a printer can submit a handwritten, signed copy of the declaration containing all required details. This is only advised if printing facilities are unavailable.
