How This Fits Your January 2027 Plan
Series I starts three days after the last date to submit the exam form without late fee, which is 16 November 2026. Fill the form first, then start the mock series.
Series II papers fall 25 to 30 days before the matching real exam. That is enough time to fix weak chapters and still revise.
The mock papers run from 10 AM to 1 PM, while the real exam runs from 2 PM to 5 PM. Practise at the real exam time on at least a few days so your body clock is ready.
Make Each Mock Count
Attempt the paper in one sitting with a timer and no notes. Check the answer key only after you finish, then list every chapter where you lost marks.
For extra practice, use past papers from our CA Inter MTP collection. For quick chapter-wise revision questions, use our CA Inter RTP collection.
