| The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) is taking full care and precaution for its rescheduled Common Proficiency Test entrance exam scheduled for August 26. |
| |
| ICAI President Sunil Talati said extra efforts have been made to ensure full-proof security of the entire examination process. |
| |
| Keeping in mind security concerns, we cannot share the measures we have taken. But I can assure everyone that the institute is taking every possible step in order to have a fair examination. I hope the seriousness of the matter will be understood by all. |
| |
| Around 82,000 students will re-appear for the test, which was cancelled earlier on August 5 this year, following reported leak of the examination paper. |
| |
| Talati further requested students to report any untoward incidents to the police or the institute immediately. Following the reported paper leak, ICAI had established a seven-member committee, headed by senior advocate OP Vaish, to look for loose ends in the examination system. |
| |
| The committee is expected to come up with guidelines for streamlining the process of examination and preventing any problems in the future. |
| |
| No time limit has been set for the committee to come up with its recommendations. Our second CPT will take place on November 1, this year, alongwith professional exams, Talati added. |
| |
| The recommendations should come before that. |
