Details Mentioned on the CA Foundation Scorecard

When you download your result, carefully check all the listed details. The scorecard contains vital information, including:

• Candidate Name and Photograph
• Roll Number and Student Registration Number (SRN)
• Paper-wise Marks for all four subjects
• Total Marks Obtained
• Result Status: Pass or Fail
• Distinction indication, if applicable (awarded to candidates securing 70% or more marks in aggregate)

Understanding Your Scorecard and Marks System

The CA Foundation examination consists of objective and subjective papers. To clear the examination, a candidate must secure a minimum of 40% marks in each individual subject and a minimum of 50% marks in the aggregate across all subjects in a single sitting.

Qualifying Status vs Merit List

Candidates meeting the 40% individual and 50% aggregate threshold are marked as 'Pass'. ICAI also issues a merit list for top rank holders up to the 50th rank, highlighting candidates who achieved exceptional aggregate scores nationwide. If a candidate fails to achieve 40% in even one paper, the overall status reflects as unsuccessful regardless of the aggregate total.

Raw Marks and Evaluation

ICAI evaluates descriptive answers via structured marking schemes and multiple-choice questions via OMR sheets. Negative marking applies to objective questions (0.25 marks deducted for every incorrect response). The marks shown on your scorecard are final computed marks after incorporating negative deductions.

Next Steps After Passing CA Foundation

Clearing the CA Foundation examination marks the successful completion of the first step towards becoming a Chartered Accountant. Here is what qualified candidates must do next:

1. Registration for CA Intermediate

Qualified students must register for the CA Intermediate course through the ICAI Self Service Portal (SSP). You can register for either a single group or both groups depending on your study plan.

2. Study Material and Orientation

After successful registration, students can order the study material through the Centralized Distribution System (CDS) portal. You must also complete the mandatory Integrated Course on Information Technology and Soft Skills (ICITSS) before commencing your practical training.

3. Timeline for Further Stages

Typically, candidates require an eight-month study period between Intermediate registration and appearing for the Intermediate exams. Following the Intermediate qualification, candidates undergo practical articleship training before attempting the CA Final examination.

Discrepancies, Grievances, and Verification of Marks

If you encounter issues such as an inaccessible result page, name misspelling, or unexpected marks, follow these steps:

• Verification of Marks: Candidates can apply for physical verification of marks within one month from the result declaration date through the official ICAI portal by paying the prescribed fee.
• Inspection of Certified Copies: You can apply to inspect or obtain certified copies of your evaluated answer books.
• Name or Data Errors: If your name or parentage is misspelled, submit a correction request via the ICAI SSP portal along with supporting Class 10/12 certificates.
• Technical Issues: Contact the ICAI examination helpline at foundation_examhelpline@icai.in for portal login errors or missing result records.

Guidance for Candidates Who Did Not Qualify

If you did not clear this session, treat the scorecard as a diagnostic report. Analyze your paper-wise scores to identify weak areas, particularly subjects where you scored below 40 marks. ICAI allows multiple attempts, and you can re-register for the upcoming examination session. Revisit the syllabus, practice mock test papers, and focus on conceptual clarity to clear the examination in your next attempt.
