The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) has opened the application form correction window for students who have registered for the CA January 2026 exams. This is an important chance for candidates to check and correct certain details in their forms if needed. The correction window opened today and will remain active until November 22, 2025 . All students who applied for the CA Foundation, CA Intermediate, or CA Final exams can use this service.
The registration process for the CA January 2026 exams began on November 3, 2025 , and closed on November 19, 2025 . Now, students can make changes to specific parts of their application. This ensures that all information for their upcoming exams is correct.
What Can You Change?
During this correction period, students can change only three key details in their application forms:
- Test City Option: You can choose a different city where you wish to take your exam.
- Medium of Exam: You can change the language in which you want to write your exam (e.g., English to Hindi, or vice versa).
- Course Group: If you are taking the Intermediate or Final exams, you can change the group of subjects you registered for.
It is important to understand that no other part of the CA application form can be edited. This means personal details like your name, date of birth, or registration number cannot be changed during this window. Students must make sure that the changes they submit are final, as this is a one-time opportunity.
Why is This Correction Important?
Making sure your application form has the correct details is very important for the exam process. If your chosen test city is wrong, you might have to travel far on exam day. If the medium of your exam is incorrect, you may face difficulty writing your answers in the right language. Correcting your course group ensures you get the right exam papers. Using this correction window helps avoid problems on exam day and ensures a smooth experience.

- Access Editable Fields: Navigate to the section of the form where editable fields are shown.
- Make Changes: Select the "changes required" option and update your test city, exam medium, or course group as needed.
- Review and Verify: Carefully check all the changes you have made. To confirm these changes, you will receive an One Time Password (OTP) on your registered mobile number and email address. Enter this OTP.
- Upload Application: You will need to upload a scanned copy of a handwritten application. This application must be signed by you and should follow the format mentioned by ICAI.
