Good point LAXMI....
I think though they made all Qs compulsary, but at the same time, i think they made papers little easy (accepted by all).., so that atleast genuine and potential students can manage to pass....
Now, expecting an incremental in overall passing percentage is expecting more., i mean, ICAI loves all of us so much that it doesn't want to leave us and so keep on failing.... Old syllabus students can be converted in new syllabus, no issue for that....
But i think ICAI won't bring much change in overall passing percentage, little up or down is undoubtedly possible...
