If You Have Passed

• For CA Foundation pass students:
  • You can now register for CA Intermediate.
  • Plan your study schedule early, as the Inter syllabus is vast.
• For CA Inter pass students:
  • You can move to the next stage, which includes Articleship and then CA Final.
  • Talk to seniors, teachers, or mentors about good CA firms for training.

If You Have Not Passed

• Do not panic. First, take 1-2 days to rest.
• Then check which papers were weak and why.
• If you think marks are very different from your expectation, you may apply for verification of marks as per ICAI rules.
• Make a new plan for the next attempt, with extra focus on your weak areas.

Many Chartered Accountants today did not clear all levels in first try. Yet, they are now successful in jobs and practice. So, one result is not the end of your journey.
