ICAI CA Final November 2026 Reopened Application Window Closes Tomorrow; Apply At icai.org

ICAI CA Final November 2026: The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) will be closing the reopened application window for the CA Final November 2026 examination tomorrow.  Eligible candidates who missed the earlier deadline can submit their examination forms through the SSP portal until tomorrow,  August 5, 2026 (11:59 pm).

As per the ICAI, the decision was taken after it observed that several eligible students were unable to apply during the original application period due to confusion caused by the change in the CA Final examination cycle. The Council has now provided another opportunity for such candidates to complete their applications.

Direct Link To Apply

The original application window was open from July 6 to July 19, with a late-fee window available until July 22.

The CA Final November 2026 examination is among the first exam sessions after ICAI reverted to the twice-a-year examination schedule (May and November), replacing the earlier three-cycle pattern. ICAI said the transition led to confusion among some candidates regarding the examination application timeline.
