60 Day Study Plan for CA Intermediate Jan 2027 Exam

The CA Intermediate Jan 2027 exams begin on 2 January 2027, so the countdown has started. The good news is that two months is enough if you use it with a plan. A CA Intermediate 60 day study plan helps you cover the syllabus, practise enough questions and revise both groups without burning out. This guide gives you a day-wise roadmap, a daily timetable and the mistakes to avoid.

With only a couple of months left, studying randomly costs you marks. A structured plan helps you:

• Prioritise high-weightage chapters and exam-relevant topics.
• Give equal attention to Group I and Group II.
• Build in rest, so you stay fresh through the last month.

This phase is not about starting everything from scratch. It is about mastering what you have already studied and walking into the exam hall with confidence.

Starting with fewer than 60 days left? Compress Phase 1 to 15 days and protect the practice and revision phases. Those two decide your result.

Paper 3 is two subjects in one and Paper 6 is two as well, so give them extra days in your schedule.

Complete the whole syllabus once, with extra time for your weakest subjects.

Daily routine

• Morning (3 hrs): Core subject study, such as Advanced Accounting or Taxation.
• Afternoon (2 hrs): Solve 25–30 questions from the ICAI study material.
• Evening (2 hrs): Revise the previous day’s topics and write summary notes.

Subject rotation

Keep a “Quick Notes” file for formulas, amendments and key definitions. You will be glad of it during final revision.

The syllabus is covered, so this phase is about solving questions and improving how you present answers.

Daily routine

• Morning (2.5 hrs): Solve past-exam questions for one subject.
• Afternoon (2 hrs): Attempt one RTP or MTP section.
• Evening (1.5 hrs): Revise short notes and mark high-priority questions.

Weekly goals

• Attempt one full mock test every weekend under exam conditions.
• Analyse your mistakes and update your notes.
• Revise every subject at least twice in this phase.

This is the most important phase. Your focus is speed, accuracy and retention.

Solve every mock in the actual exam slot (2 PM to 5 PM). It trains your body and mind for the real timing.

Quality beats quantity. Eight focused hours a day is enough if you use them well.

• Starting new, unfamiliar topics late. Revise instead.
• Ignoring ICAI material. Coaching notes help, but the modules, RTPs and MTPs set the standard.
• Studying without breaks. Burnout hurts your last month more than a lost day does.
• Skipping written practice. Presentation and time management earn marks in ICAI papers.
• Overlooking amendments. Check which Finance Act and law amendments apply to your attempt.

• Stick to ICAI material: Modules, RTPs and MTPs first.
• Revise at least three times: Every chapter needs repeated exposure.
• Track progress: Use a checklist to tick off completed chapters.
• Look after yourself: Sleep well, eat properly and take short breaks.

A disciplined CA Intermediate 60 day study plan can change your Jan 2027 attempt. Learn the concepts in the first 20 days, practise hard in the next 20 and use the last 20 for sharp revision and mock tests.
