Only If Enough Candidates Choose a City
Every AT announcement lists exam cities across India, but each centre runs only if enough candidates opt for it, and ICAI reserves the right to withdraw any centre. Pick a city from the current announcement's list and check your admit details close to the date.

When the Eligibility Test Runs
The ET comes before the AT, and ICAI's two course documents describe its timing differently:
- check_circleThe physical-batch document says it is generally the second Saturday of February, May, August or November.
- check_circleThe virtual-batch document says it is generally the second Saturday of May or November.
- check_circleEither way, you need an ET pass before the AT application window opens, so plan the two together.
How to Plan Around the Dates
- 1
Work back from the AT
Find the next announced AT and its application window on icai.org (Examination > Members).
- 2
Make sure the ET is behind you
Only members who have qualified the Eligibility Test can apply, so an ET still pending means aiming for a later AT.
- 3
Apply early in the window
The November 2026 window is two weeks long. Applying early leaves time to fix payment or profile problems.
- 4
Budget for the gap if you miss
Recent sittings were three to five months apart, so a missed AT usually means a long wait.
