Results of the CA Final Examination

That our profession is highly sought after is obvious from the fact that the number of candidates appearing for CA exams is increasing every year. A total of 18625 candidates appeared in both groups of which 2579 passed. There has been an increase in the number of students appearing for the exams by at least 4000 for each group as well as for both the groups compared to last years November exams. This is indeed good news and so is the fact that we are also keeping pace by increasing the number of examination centers every year. Currently we have 252 examination centers with more locations being allocated every year. However, the results declared for the New Syllabus has not been encouraging. A total of only 9 students passed out of which only 2 students passed in both groups. I have constantly been reiterating that students should take their article training and the CA Course more seriously. Practical training would immensely benefit the students in their examinations as well as in gaining experience.
