# ICAI expected to release CA Final admit card by third week of October 2026-10-14T08:21:58+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) is expected to release the admit card for the CA Final November 2026 examinations in the third week of October, as of 14 October. Candidates will be able to download their hall tickets online through the official e-Services portal at eservices.icai.org. ICAI advises candidates not to use the main Self Service Portal for the download. The CA Final Group 1 examinations are scheduled for 2, 4 and 6 November. Group 2 examinations are scheduled for 9, 11 and 13 November. After downloading the admit card, candidates must verify their name, roll number, registration number, examination group, centre name and address, photograph and signature. Any discrepancy should be reported to ICAI through official examination support channels before the examination. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both Times of India and Jagran Josh report the same facts verbatim: the ICAI CA Final admit card for November 2026 is expected in the third week of October, and the exam dates for Group 1 and Group 2 are identical. The coverage is uniform straight reporting with no discernible slant: neither outlet adds commentary, speculation, or government framing. The key difference is trivial, Times of India advises candidates not to use the main Self Service Portal for the download, while Jagran Josh instructs to log in with SSP credentials. This procedural discrepancy suggests candidates should wait for ICAI’s official instructions on the portal to use. The next concrete cue is the ICAI announcement itself, which both sources say candidates should monitor on eservices.icai.org. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 2 neutral - timesofindia.indiatimes.com (neutral report) Straight factual reporting with no slant - jagranjosh.com (neutral report) Uniform factual reporting with no slant This brief was synthesised by AI from the 2 sources linked above, so one read covers every framing they carry.
