05 March 2012 This may not happen. Should it have happened.. attach a copy of the online marks card you have generated and send both the copies to the icai examination section for immediate attention..

05 March 2012 I have also received my marks sheet from institute. But i just want to know the remedy because institute have reserved all right to argue because they are considering certified copy as informative. We can't argue on that.

10 August 2024 When dealing with discrepancies in marks or issues related to certified copies from a professional examination body like the ICAI (Institute of Chartered Accountants of India), there are specific steps you should follow:

### **Steps to Address Marks Discrepancy**

1. **Verify Marks and Certified Copies:**
- **Compare Results:** Ensure you have correctly compared the marks shown in your certified copies with your final result. Note down the discrepancies clearly.
- **Check for Bonus Marks:** Look at the official notifications or circulars from ICAI to see if any bonus marks or adjustments were given in specific subjects like DT (Direct Taxation) and Costing. Sometimes, such information is released to the candidates and can also be found in circulars on the ICAI website.

2. **Contact ICAI for Clarification:**
- **Email or Write a Letter:** Draft a formal letter or email to the ICAI Examination Department detailing the discrepancy between your certified copies and the final result. Include your roll number, exam details, and any supporting documents.
- **Follow Up:** Make sure to follow up if you don’t receive a timely response. Use the official contact details provided by ICAI for such queries.

3. **Request for Re-evaluation (If Applicable):**
- **Re-evaluation Procedure:** If the discrepancy is significant and affects your outcome, you may request a re-evaluation of your answer sheets. Check the ICAI’s official website for the re-evaluation process, fees, and deadlines.
- **Application Form:** Complete the re-evaluation request form, if available, and submit it along with the required fee.

4. **Consult with Your Institute’s Regional Office:**
- **Regional Office Contact:** Visit or contact your regional ICAI office. They may provide additional assistance and clarify if there were any general adjustments or corrections made to the marks after the certified copies were issued.

5. **Seek Legal Advice (As a Last Resort):**
- **Legal Counsel:** If you have exhausted all other avenues and believe there is a significant error or injustice, consult with a legal professional specializing in educational or professional examination matters. They can advise on any potential legal recourse.

### **Key Points to Remember**

- **Certified Copies as Informative:** Typically, certified copies are meant to be informative and not final. The final result issued by the ICAI is the conclusive document. This may be the reason ICAI considers certified copies as non-binding.
- **Check Official Notifications:** Always refer to official ICAI communications for updates on marks, bonus points, or any other changes.
- **Documentation:** Keep copies of all communications with ICAI and maintain records of your correspondence and any official responses received.

By following these steps, you should be able to address the issue effectively and determine whether there was a mistake or adjustment in your exam results.
