The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) has officially announced the postponement of the ICAI Exams 2025 September Final and Intermediate examinations in several flood-affected cities across Punjab and Jammu. The decision comes after relentless rainfall triggered widespread flooding, severely disrupting transport, infrastructure, and daily life in the region.

📍 Affected Centres of ICAI Exams 2025

According to ICAI’s official notification, exams scheduled on September 3 and 4, 2025, will not be conducted in the following cities:

• Punjab: Amritsar, Bathinda, Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Mandi Gobindgarh, Pathankot, Patiala, Sangrur
• Jammu: Jammu City

The institute clarified that examinations in all other parts of India remain unaffected and will be conducted as per the previously published timetable dated May 30, 2025.

🗓 Updated Exam Schedule Nationwide

While Punjab and Jammu City await revised dates, students across the country will sit for their exams as planned:

📢 ICAI’s Advisory to Students for ICAI Exams 2025

The institute has urged candidates in Punjab and Jammu City to remain patient and stay updated via the official ICAI website (www.icai.org). A revised schedule for the deferred exams will be published separately once conditions improve.

“Given the extraordinary flooding and logistical disruptions, this decision prioritises the safety and well-being of our students,” the ICAI statement noted.

🌧 Why Were ICAI Exams 2025 Deferred?

The unusual intensity of rainfall has led to:

• Severe waterlogging in urban areas
• Breakdown of transportation networks
• Closure of institutions in multiple districts

Given these ground realities, ICAI’s decision reflects a proactive step to ensure fairness, safety, and accessibility for all candidates.

✅ What Should Students Do Now?

• Candidates outside Punjab and Jammu City should continue preparing according to the existing timetable.
• Students in the affected regions must await fresh dates.
• All students are advised to regularly check ICAI’s official announcements for verified updates.
