Sir I am from science background. But I want to sit for the CPT in this June,2012...Please tell me what is the passing criteria of CPT examination on JUNE,2012?Is it must to obtain 30% marks in each paper of CPT examination of June,2012 to clear the CPT exam?
A student in one sitting has to secure a minimum 50% of total marks for passing CPT exam. It is to be mentioned that CPT is an objective type test with a negative marking which will be indicated in the question paper. There is a negative marking for selecting wrong answer to the extent of 25% marks allotted to a question.
It is clarified that there is no provision for improvement of result of CPT examination, either online or Paper- Pencil mode, in the Chartered Accountants Regulations, 1988. Therefore, students who have once passed the CPT examination are not eligible to apply again/appear afresh in CPT Online Examination or Paper- Pencil mode examination.
The Council has told that a CPT candidate shall be declared to have passed the test if he obtains at one sitting a minimum of 30% marks in each section and a minimum of 50% marks in aggregate of all the sections, subject to the principle of negative marking. This will come into effect once the Amendments in the Chartered Accountants Regulations, 1988 are notified.
