What the Alternate-Day Schedule Means
Group I papers fall on 10, 12, 14 and 16 December; Group II papers on 11, 13, 15 and 17 December. A candidate sitting one group gets a free day between papers. A candidate sitting both groups has eight papers on eight straight days with no gap, ending with two numerical papers, Cost Accounting on 16 December and Management Accounting on 17 December.
Plan revision to the time table, not to the subject order in the syllabus. If you are taking both groups, finish your Paper 7 tax revision before the exam week starts, because there is no gap day to catch up.
General costing questions, not ICMAI papers. No signup.

June 2027 Term
As of 19 October 2026, ICMAI has not published the June 2027 time table. It posts each term's time table under Updates & Announcements in the Examination part of icmai.in. Separately, ICMAI's coaching rules require enrolment for coaching at least four months before the month of the exam, so that deadline comes well before the exam form.
