The ICAI prescribes the pattern for the CA Final exam. The exam takes place twice a year, in May and November. The CA Final course and exam pattern are comparable to those of the CA Foundation and CA Intermediate. Some ICAI CA Final papers last three hours, while others last four hours per session.
