We know that a ca student can give either single group or both groups exams as per his/her preparation. To pass ca Inter exam, ca student has to pass both the groups. This can be done by clearing single groups in one go or both groups in one go. Below mentioned is the passing criteria:
| Pass Criteria 1 | Pass Criteria 2 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| CA Inter Exam Passing Criteria | Exam Marks | Min. Marks | Overall score |
| Paper 1 : Advanced Accounting | 100 | 40 | CA Student total score of all the 3 papers should be more than or equal to 150 marks |
| Paper 2 : Corporate and Other Laws | 100 | 40 | |
| Paper 3 : Taxation | 100 | 40 |
For a student to pass in CA Inter Group 1 exam they needs to fulfill both the passing criteria
| Pass Criteria 1 | Pass Criteria 2 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| CA Inter Exam Passing Criteria | Exam Marks | Min. Marks | Overall score |
| Paper 4 : Cost and Management Accounting | 100 | 40 | CA Student total score of all the 3 papers should be more than or equal to 150 marks |
| Paper 5 : Auditing and Ethics | 100 | 40 | |
| Paper 6 : Financial Management and Strategic Management | 100 | 40 |
For a student to pass in CA Inter Group 2 exam they needs to fulfill both the passing criteria
To clear both groups of ca inter exam together, a ca student need to score minimum 40 marks in every subject and 50% marks aggregate i.e. 300 marks in total.
Student can start Articleship after passing both groups only.
Set-off is a relaxation provided by icai to ca inter students. It is only provided when a candidate gives both group examinations in an attempt.
As we know, a ca student has to score aggregate 50% in both groups and 40% in individual subjects. Now here set off comes in play.
For ex: Rahul has to score 300 out of 600 in both groups (50% marks) and minimum 40 marks in each subject. Rahul scored 172 marks in Group 1 and 139 marks in Group 2. If he had given both the groups individually, he would have passed just Group 1. But if he had given both groups together, set off feature will help him in clearing Both the groups. Total marks of both groups together will be 311. The extra 22 marks gained in Group 1 will be used to set off the deficiency of 11 marks of Group 2.
Exemption: There is a provision of exemption as well for ca intermediate students who score above 60% in a subject. If, for example, a candidate who appeared in group 1 and passed any subjects with score above 60 and couldn’t pass the other subjects, in such a case he can claim exemption in subjects in which he scored 60+ marks. With this, he can appear in the rest of the subjects of CA Intermediate in the exam session that follows.
The Latest CA Inter Old Syllabus exam was held in May 2023. 18.95% students cleared just Group I. 23.44% students cleared just Group II whereas only 10.24% students cleared both groups of CA Inter exam.
| Group | No. of candidates appeared | No. of candidates passed | CA Inter Pass Percentage |
| Group I | 100,781 | 19,103 | 18.95% |
| Group II | 81,956 | 19,208 | 23.44% |
| Both Groups | 39,195 | 4014 | 10.24% |
ICAI provides a list of Top 50 CA inter students all over India and ranks are also provided for the same. Only students who have cleared both groups are eligible to appear in the merit list. CA Inter Topper list for May 2023 exam attempt:

Re-evaluation of evaluated answer books is not permitted as per CA Regulations 1988. This means that once an answer sheet is checked and marks are awarded to the ca inter student, ICAI will not recheck the paper. This seems very unfair and a lot of ca students protested against this rule. However, instead of re-checking ICAI has provided students with 2 options -
Option 1: CA Inter paper verification
Verification of answer sheet: CA Inter students can go for verification of their answer sheets. Verification means
Checking:
So if you feel after looking at your CA Result that there might be an error where some questions you answered would not be evaluated, there would be some totaling error then you may go for this option.
The procedure for verification is to apply online at ICAI Verification Procedure within a month from the date of declaration of results and also pay the applicable fee. It takes about 6-8 weeks for the verification process to complete and at the end, there can be 4 outcomes

Option 2: CA Inter Certified copies
Certified copies mean that you will be provided with your checked answer book. Certified copies of the evaluated answer book can be obtained by ca students.
However, at the CA Inter Old Syllabus level, certified copies of MCQs part of paper 2, 4, 6 and 7 (these papers have 30 marks MCQs) only your OMR sheet would be provided and not the question paper.
When you apply for certified copies verification of answer books, is also carried out by the office, suo-motu, in respect of all applications for a certified copy of evaluated answer book, and in case of any discrepancy leading to an increase in total marks, a revised statement of marks is also sent to you.
I applied for certified copies of my evaluated answer books and received them. I am not satisfied with the evaluation of my answers and the marks awarded. I want to apply for a re-evaluation of my answer book. Can I do so?
No, as re-checking is not permitted by ICAI.
I applied for certified copies of my evaluated answer books and received them. I notice that some parts of the answers are not evaluated by the examiner or there is a totaling error or marks awarded have not been carried forward to the cover page or such other matters that fall within the scope of verification covered under Regulation 39(4). What should I do now?
Answer: You can write to the office about the same, within 30 days from the date of the letter.
The procedure for certified copies is to apply online at Certified Copies within a month from the date of declaration of results and also pay the applicable fee.
