American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) shall be conducting CPA exam in 8 metro cities, in the month of June and September 2020. Until now, the test centres for the exam were only available in the U.S., U.S. island territory, and a few Middle East Asian countries. However, because of the catastrophic COVID-19 pandemic, AICPA and NASBA have agreed to establish test centres in India as well.

Each section is of four hours and is divided into 5 smaller sections called the testlets.
