Why the Schedule Change?
The decision to adjust the exam dates was driven by escalating security concerns in border regions like Jammu, Pathankot, and Srinagar, where military activities have intensified. These regions faced blackouts, curfews, and movement restrictions, impacting logistics and student safety. Following a recent ceasefire agreement, conditions have improved, allowing ICAI to finalize these new dates confidently.
