Yes, ICAI has strict guidelines. Photos require 80% face visibility on a white background, no caps or goggles (unless religious headwear allows face visibility), no selfies, and must be in JPG/JPEG format (20-50 KB, 4.5 cm x 3.5 cm). Signatures need to be done in black pen on a white sheet, in JPG/JPEG format (10-20 KB, 6 cm x 2 cm).
If you were enrolled under old course codes, you must convert to the new scheme (using codes like NEWINT23, CONINT23, NEWFND23, or CONFND23) before applying for the May 2026 exams. No fee is required for this conversion.
