I feel cheated.

Failed for the 2nd time in IPCC Group 1.

My Taxation exam went well but I could only manage a 57. I thought a minimum of 60 was easily in my bag. I think now ICAI is trying to cut the results slowly and steadly as the market value of a CA is declining. In a way its good but in a way it feels like being cheated of the effort you put in. I dont know what to make out of it. But since I've invested money in this field I guess I'll keep working towards it.

Hey Ron,

I know what you are going through...

But Neither ICAI nor the Examiner has bad relation with you...

May be your Answers wasn't that much good for gaining Exemption...

Try to focus again and all the Best for the November term...

Ron,

I think ICAI don't have any personal problem with you. They have similar checking all over India.

In my case, I think ICAI has distributed marks for free.

In Law I was expecting 42-47, I got 57, according to me my correct attempt was 65 marks (approximately)

In Accounts I was expecting at least 45 and maximum 59 but I got 64 I don't know how.

In CAFM, I was expecting 55 to 60 but I got 74 which was seriously not expected not even in dreams.

In Taxation I was expecting 59-62 I got 69 which was as per my expectation.

Know I think whoever say ICAI manipulates result is just a BullSh*t.

ICAI ki kisi se personal problem toh hai nahi..

Sometimes handwriting bhi wajah hoti hai...

Or may be question attempt karne main koi galti...

If you really think you WOULD have scored that much marks, maybe you could give a shot at 'revaluation'.

But like you said, you didn't clear the whole 1st group, maybe its time to invest more time in other subjects and keep revising tax for the remainder of time

Congrats Rohit you did well. I don't think they 'distribute marks for free'. You deserve the success you got, so take the credit.
And maybe I knew the answers but probably didn't write what all was needed. And I'm fine with marks of all other subjects only disappointed with the marks in Tax!

Had it been 59 I would've for sure gone through with the revaluation but an increment in 3 marks is a too good to be true thing. So no, I'll just study.. again!

K.. it happens. See, icai wants professional answers. Many students know the content but lack in presentation. Also mugging up in conceptual subjects like costing, fm, tax doesnt help at all. Go for a private coaching where the teacher could give you personal attention to weed out your errors. If youre in bangalore I could help you with the same. 07411055313 Dont get disheartned, ca is a premier commerce stream course, hard work will be needed. :)
