Friends, as we know the paper timings for CA exams are 2 PM to 5 PM.
This timings could be OK for November month but are very unconvinient and problemetic for the month of May. Because in most of the India its a core time of summer, the temprature level easily touches to 44 to 45 C. in noon time. This results into adverse effects on our health and definately hampers our performance in the exam. We also can not take the lunch properly on exam days due to such odd timings and exam anxiety...
Every time in May exam we see many students falling from stairs, becoming unconcious and even having seizure attacks, this happens because of immense exam pressure (we all know how CA exams are) and taxing summer season (we dont know whether ICAI is taking any inputs from exam centers or invigilators regarding such unfortunate events). Also Final exam are 15 days long affair, one could definatley get a sun stroke and fall sick.
I dont understand why ICAI doesnt care about this fact, if we call it our mother then it must take care of its students atleast in the exams.
So, can we do something from our part so that ICAI can change the exam time atleast for exams conducted in the month of May ( i dont know if this has been requested to ICAI before by anyone).
ICAI should wrap up the exam by 12 Noon or 1 PM ( 8 to 11 , 9 to 12 or 10 to 1 are all fine and convinient for all of us) as ICAI used to conduct exams previously (8 to 11). For the international centers like Dubai, AbuDhabi, Oman etc this could not be an issue as they have all the Air Conditioned environment and they usually start their workings from 8 AM, also there will not be more than 10 % students appearing from international centers if compared to overall India.
Friends its a humble request to all students to express their view and to all ICAI members to guide us so that something effective can be done to change the exam timings..... Thanks
