  • Group (for CA Inter – Group I, Group II, or both)
  • Paper-wise marks
  • Total marks
  • Result status (Pass / Fail)

If you find any big error, such as wrong name or missing group, you should contact ICAI help desk with proof as soon as possible.

Pass Rules for CA Intermediate and CA Foundation

Many students and parents do not know the exact pass rules. So, this part explains them in simple words.

CA Intermediate – Passing Criteria (Per Group)

Condition type Minimum Marks Needed
Each paper in the group 40 marks out of 100
Total of all papers in group 50% overall in that group

You must clear each group you appear for. If you sit for both groups together, there are extra rules for exemptions, but the basic rule stays the same: 40 per paper and 50% total in that group.

CA Foundation – Passing Criteria

Condition type Minimum Marks Needed
Each paper 40 marks out of 100
Overall total (4 papers) 50% or more

So, for CA Foundation, you need at least 200 marks out of 400 and at least 40 in each paper.

What Should Students Do After CA Inter / Foundation Result?

Result day brings different feelings. Some students pass, some do not, and some are very close. However, everyone can still plan a clear next step.

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.
