You are now just one step away from earning the coveted title of a certified Chartered Accountant, and that step is your CA Final result. The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) publishes the results on its exam portal, from where students can download their results. 

Where to Get Your CA Final Result Online?

ICAI primarily uploads all examination results on its official website. You can visit https://www.icai.org/ for CA final result. But there are also two more ICAI links that you can access to see your CA Final result: www.caresults.icai.org, and www.icai.nic.in.

Here’s the step by step process to view and download CA Final result.

Step 1: Visit any of the above links to find the ICAI exam list.

Step 2: Select CA Final exam to proceed

Step 3: Enter your CA Final Roll number, registration number, or pin to access your scores.

Step 4: A new window appears displaying your CA Final result. You can take a printout of the screen for future reference.

ICAI sends your Statement of Marks by post soon after the results are declared. If you do not receive the same within 4-5 weeks of result declaration, write an email to dms_examhelpline@icai.in.

 

Group-Wise Passing Score and Exemptions in the CA Final Exam

You need to score at least 40% in each paper and 50% in each group’s aggregate to clear the CA Finals. You may attempt one group at a time but must pass both groups to clear the CA Final Exams. 

Unfortunately, if you fail to clear one or more papers in a CA Final group, ICAI will allow exemption from appearing in paper/papers in which you have secured 60% or more. The conditions for this policy are:

  • You should have originally appeared for all the papers in the group. 
  • Applicable for only three subsequent attempts at clearing the non-exempted papers and is carried forward automatically through the exemption validity period.
  • Further, no other exemption is allowed in the particular group for the following three attempts.

If your Statement of Marks carries a ‘#’ sign beside any score, it means you are allowed exemption from writing that particular paper again. Furthermore, the Group status in your scorecard will indicate an ‘F-Ex’ instead of a ‘Fail’. 

After a subsequent attempt at the paper/papers you failed earlier during the exemption validity period, your new statement of marks will carry an ‘E’ beside the exempted paper’s score, indicating ‘carry forward’.
