ICAI Advanced ICITSS Test on September 8; Admit Card Due September 4

CA students appearing for the next Advanced ICITSS - Advanced Information Technology Test should note two immediate dates on the ICAI examination portal: the online admit card is scheduled to be available on September 4, 2026, and the examination is scheduled for September 8, 2026.

Exam timing and reporting time

According to ICAI's official Advanced ICITSS portal, the test will be held from 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM IST on Tuesday, September 8. Candidates are required to report to the examination centre by 9:15 AM IST. With the admit-card date only days away, students should plan to download and verify their document promptly rather than waiting until the exam day.

Eligibility condition on the official guidance page

The ICAI guidance notes state that candidates must have successfully completed the Advanced ICITSS - Advanced IT course on or before August 8, 2026 to be eligible for this test. The portal also warns applicants not to apply if they do not meet the prescribed eligibility condition and notes that applications inconsistent with the Board of Studies database may be rejected.

The online application window for this test opened on August 10 and closed on August 14. Students who already applied should therefore now focus on the admit-card and examination-stage requirements rather than the application process.

Student checklist before September 8

- Download the admit card once it becomes available on September 4.

- Check the examination centre, reporting instructions and personal details printed on the admit card.

- Plan to reach the centre before the 9:15 AM reporting time.

- Re-read the official guidance notes for permitted items and candidate instructions before travelling to the centre.

- Use only ICAI's official portal for last-minute changes or notices.

The next milestone is the admit card on September 4, followed by the Advanced ICITSS Advanced IT Test on September 8 from 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM. Candidates who have already applied should now verify their eligibility record, monitor the ICAI portal and keep sufficient time for any correction or clarification that may be needed after downloading the admit card.

Key takeaway

Actionable near-term ICAI exam update for CA students with specific admit-card, reporting and exam dates.
