The India Wide Parents’ Association (IWPA) wrote to the Union Ministry of Finance and the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) to voice similar concerns put forth by CA students in respect of postponing the CA exams and increasing the attempts.
The Association said that there are many students with elderly people in their families who are most prone to Covid-19. They are very afraid about the fact that they will have to take the exams with so many students and that too for a span of 18 days.
The letter written by the Association raised concern about the fact that there are many underprivileged students resident in remote areas or containment zones and lacks appropriate sources to reach their exam centres due to regional lockdowns, restrictions, contaminants or lack of transportation.
The letter further highlighted the issue of unavailability and lack of resources and study material for the candidates due to Covid-19 lockdown.
“Classes have gone online so many students suffered due to lack of proper resources to avail these online classes. What about those who were about to travel to cities to study. Who is responsible for unavailability of resources. Students neither want to lose their attempt nor lives. Many students and their family members are not even vaccinated. The only solution to all these problems is to postpone the exams,” the letter stated.
