We don’t have to be a doctor to save a life. All that is needed is some kindness, which in turn can make a big difference in some one’s life. Yes, we can really be a savior for someone counting breaths. Give blood. Save life. Every minute of every day someone needs blood. That blood can only come from a volunteer donor like you. Your blood is special & will help save lives. 

Let’s make an attempt to gift a life to someone who is striving for it. The feeling of giving is different within itself, so why deprived from such a benevolent act. Give a thought..:). It’s a joy to give blood. Let’s experience it one more time, on 1st July 2012. Come and join us for a noble cause.

Donate Blood – Gift life.

Admit cards to candidates appearing in May 2012 Exams


Candidates who have applied for May 2012 Chartered Accountants exams are requested to note that admit cards with photographs and signatures of the candidates will be hosted on http://www.icai.nic.in generally 21 days prior to the commencement of the examination. Candidates may print their admit cards from the website, which will be valid for admission to the examination.

For downloading/printing of the admit cards from the website, candidates will be required to enter the following:
  • Student registration number or the bar code on the examination form and
  • Personal Identification Number (PIN) indicated by them in their application form.
Upon printing of admit cards, candidates are advised to verify the name, registration number, centre, medium, Group opted for accuracy.

In case of difficulty in printing of admit cards or any discrepancy in the data on the admit card so printed, candidates are advised to contact the Helpline of the Examination Department immediately, quoting their registration number, bar code number of their examination form and receipt number issued by the regional office(s), centre opted (with zone, if applicable), telephone number, fax number etc.
Help Line Telephone numbers: 0120 3054 851, 852, 853 or 835

Such candidates are required to carry a photo identification i.e. voter’s card, driving licence, passport, identity card issued by College etc, failing which they will not be allowed entry into the examination centre. In case they do not have any of the abovementioned photo identity cards, they may get their photos attested by a Chartered Accountant or a Gazetted Officer and carry the same to the examination centre, as proof of their identity.

However, candidates may note that physical admit cards for May 2012 examination will also be sent to the candidates, by post. In case a candidate does not receive the physical admit card by post, for whatsoever reason, they can carry the admit card printed from website, which is also equally valid.
