The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) has released the mock test schedule for the CA Foundation January 2027 examination. Mock Test Paper (MTP) Series I begins on 1 December 2026 and Series II on 14 December. Both series cover all four papers and are available in physical and virtual modes.

Paper 1, Accounting runs from 2 PM to 5 PM, Papers 2 and 4, Business Laws and Business Economics, also have afternoon slots. Paper 3, Quantitative Aptitude runs from 2 PM to 4 PM. ICAI will upload question papers to the BoS Knowledge Portal and the MTP Registration Portal by 1:30 PM on each test date. Answer keys will follow within 48 hours of each paper's start. Candidates can register for physical tests through the MTP Registration Portal at bosmtp.icai.org.
The schedule gives January 2027 candidates two full rounds of timed practice under exam-like conditions, with answer keys released within 48 hours. The separate physical and virtual modes mean students not near an ICAI branch can still participate online. The key unresolved point is how many seats physical centres will offer, which could crowd out late registrants. ICAI has not said when results or the final exam dates will be announced, leaving students to watch for further notifications on its portals.
