05 August 2014 no. you wont be eligible for May 2015. The requirement is that you should have completed 2.5 years on or the first day of the month in which exam starts. So you should have completed 2.5 years on or before 1 May 2015.

please refer ICAI guidance note for CA finals students @ http://icaiexam.icai.org/guide_final.php (para 4.2(v)

05 August 2014 unfortunately no. The rule applies on the first day of the month itself.

In May 2014 attempt many people lost out despite exams starting in the last week of May because of the same rule
