ICAI has announced the Date Sheet/ Time Table for CA Final & CA IPCC for upcoming May 2013 Exams and the CA Final Exam would be beginning from 2nd and ending on 16th May 2013 and the CA IPCC Exam would be beginning from 3rd and ending on 15th May 2013. ( 24th May).
IPCC Exams were earlier scheduled to end on 15th May but ITSM Paper has been postponed from 15th May to 24th May. (Refer: http://www.icai.org/new_post.html?post_id=9556&c_id=240)
According to newspapers, the reason for postponement of IT-SM was that on 13th May 2013 at one of the exam centers in Mumbai, ITSM paper was distributed instead of the Audit paper. The name of the center is Mittal Center, Malad West, Liberty Garden, Mumbai. You can read the reason for postponement and the details of the incident that happened at the Mumbai Center in this article published in the Times of India newspaper on 14th May.
Due to this error by the ICAI Mumbai authorities, the IPCC IT-SM has been postponed for all candidates across India. The Venue and time would remain the same. No new Admit Card would be issued for the same and the admit cards already issued would remain valid.
