u need to calculate 2 years and 6 mnths of articleship in order to become eligible for nov 2015 exam. this must be completed on or before 1.11.2015 else not eligible.
additionally max of 1/6th of actual period served is allowed (subject to max 156 days) in whole tenure of 3 years and check this link for same and any excess leave u take eg say 170 days then there will be extention and ur attempt may be delayed.

You can't give the exams on Nov 2015. Coz, you should be doing the last six months of articleship as on the first day in which the exams are being held after considering the excess leave taken.
here, you have already 45 days excess leave while leaving the first firm itself. This itself postpone your date of completion of articles by 45 days.
Sorry to say. You have to wait for May 2016 exams.
