ICAI CA Admit Card 2026 Released: CA Final and Inter Hall Tickets Available for May Exams at icai.org

Grab Your Hall Tickets: ICAI Opens May 2026 Exam Portal

The long-awaited moment for CA aspirants is finally here. Today, April 17, 2026, the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) officially unlocked the admit card portal for the May session Intermediate and Final exams. If you’ve been refreshing the page all morning, you can finally head over to eservices.icai.org to secure your copy.

This is a critical time because, as you likely know, ICAI recently rescheduled some of the Intermediate dates due to "unavoidable reasons." Your admit card is the only source of truth for your specific exam center and timing, so don't just rely on general notices. As of now, the Foundation admit cards are still in the "coming soon" phase, so Foundation students need to hang tight for a few more days.

CA May 2026 Exam Schedule at a Glance

Double-check these dates against your hall ticket once you download it. Most afternoon sessions are slated to run from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM.

How to Download Your Admit Card

ICAI has made the process digital-only; they won't be sending physical copies via post anymore. Here is how to get yours:

• Visit the official e-services portal at eservices.icai.org.
• Click on the link for "ICAI Admit Card May 2026" for your respective course (Inter or Final).
• Enter your SSP Credentials (Registration Number and Password).
• Once logged in, navigate to the "Admit Card" tab.
• Download the PDF and immediately take a printed copy.

Pro Tip: Digital copies on your phone will NOT be accepted at the exam center. Print at least two copies—one to keep in your bag and one as a backup at home.

What to Check on Your Hall Ticket

Errors happen, and you don't want to find out about them five minutes before the exam starts. Thoroughly verify these details:

• Personal Info: Ensure your name, registration number, and photograph are correct.
• Exam Center: Check the full address of the venue. Centers can sometimes change from previous years.
• Groups: Confirm that you are registered for the correct Group (I, II, or both).
• Reporting Time: Most centers require you to be there well before the 2:00 PM start time.

Important Instructions for Exam Day

The admit card isn't just a pass; it contains the mandatory rules you must follow. Candidates must carry a valid government-issued photo ID (like an Aadhaar or Voter ID) along with their printed hall ticket. Also, remember that only black ballpoint pens are generally permitted for marking your answers.

Conclusion

With the admit cards now in hand, the countdown to May has officially begun. Use the remaining two weeks to focus on high-weightage topics and mock papers. If you spot any discrepancies in your hall ticket, contact the ICAI examination office immediately via the SSP portal to get them resolved before the first paper on May 2nd. Good luck—you've got this!
