ICMAI Final Exam 2025: The Institute of Cost Accountants of India (ICMAI) has commenced the Intermediate and Final examinations for the June 2025 session from today, June 11. The exams are being conducted in two shifts across various exam centers. The Final course examination will take place in the first shift from 10 am to 1 pm, while the Intermediate course examination will be conducted in the second shift from 2 pm to 5 pm.
The ICMAI has also released important exam day guidelines to help students manage their time efficiently and perform to the best of their abilities. According to the institute, candidates should begin by taking no more than five minutes to choose the questions they are confident in answering. Attempting the easiest questions first is advised to build momentum. It is mandatory to attempt the compulsory question included in the paper.
Candidates are further encouraged to attempt fewer questions fully and correctly rather than answering more questions in a partially correct manner. For subjects that involve numerical problems, it is recommended to answer theoretical questions at the end, as numerical questions can often be completed more quickly when a candidate is confident in the method.
In the event that a candidate knows the answer to a question but runs out of time, writing a brief synopsis at the end of the answer sheet is suggested. Additionally, ICMAI advises all candidates to approach the exam hall with a positive attitude and a challenging spirit. Panicking should be avoided, and focus must be maintained on the subject at hand instead of worrying about results. A deep breath before attempting each question can help maintain composure and clarity.
Candidates should reserve the last 5 to 10 minutes for reviewing their answer sheet to ensure completeness and accuracy. This small effort could make a significant difference in performance.
Meanwhile, the ICMAI Foundation course exam is scheduled for June 14, 2025. It will also be conducted in two shifts—the first from 10 am to 12 noon and the second from 2 pm to 4 pm. Candidates are advised to reach their centers well before time and carry their admit cards and valid ID proofs.
