Further to assist candidates for the interview ICAI also organised the CA Career Catalyst Programme 2026, virtually from 15th to 22nd March 2026, the programme featured domain-focused sessions across key areas such as taxation, M&A, finance, audit, consulting and emerging fields like forensic accounting and GCC/offshore accounting.
It also included structured training on group discussions, HR preparedness, mock interviews, and one-to-one mentoring to strengthen placement readiness. The programme received an encouraging response and is effectively serving as a bridge between CA Final results and campus placement opportunities.
