I was Faculty for CA Final and for ICWAI Final (because of regular foreign travel schdules, now I am not bale to take classes from past four years). ICWAI has 70 exam centers. In the centers like Hyderabad, we see 1500 plus ICWAI Final students. In some centers the Final students may be less. In centers like Chennai, Kolkatta,Mumbai the Final students Number is 2500 plus. In all centers together the number of Final students will difinitly more than 30000. Out of thirty thousand only 1500 (Group3 or group 4 or final) passed. The pass % is less than 5%.
No further discussion is required, this is common sense. I have respect to both CA and ICWAI. I took classes for Final students of Both. Both are maintaining good standards. But from past 3 years , CA has higher % of Pass. I don't know what is the strategy of ICAI (old). But both have their own greatness, may be in different directions.
From the bigining ICWAI is maintaining standards, but because of less number of members, in sufficient funds, lack of statutory backing, ICWAI doesn't have much focus.
If any body says CA has 60% pass or ICWAI has 60% pass , as professionals, we will ignore them. Let them come with proof.
Having affection to their dream qualification or having some inclination to their qualification is natural. Every body has right to expess the same. Naturally one should love his wife more than other's wife. But beeing too much agresseve is not correct. I am seeing some posts heavily criticising CA and CMA.
