CA Exam Locations for 2026:
In more than 297 Indian cities and nine foreign locations, the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) administers CA exams. At approved testing locations, all CA exams are administered using the Computer Based Test (CBT) format.

When completing the online exam application form for the CA September 2026 session, candidates can choose the city of their choice for the exam center. From March 3 to March 19, 2026, the center selection window is anticipated to be open. Seat availability and candidate preference will determine allocation.

The final exam center city, venue address, exam date, and reporting time will all be listed on the CA admit cards, which are anticipated to be released in late April 2026. Similar center allocation methods apply to Intermediate and Final levels, and the CA Foundation tests are planned from May 14 to May 20, 2026.

For the convenience of candidates, several states provide several exam centers, such as Maharashtra (more than ten cities), Uttar Pradesh (nine cities), and Karnataka (eight cities). In addition, by setting up centers in far-flung areas like Gangtok (Sikkim) and Dimapur (Nagaland), ICAI guarantees nationwide coverage.

To prevent last-minute travel or logistical problems, candidates are encouraged to frequently visit icaiexam.icai.org to view the full state-by-state list of CA exam centers, keep informed of announcements, and utilize the correction window if necessary.
