What Are The Rules & Exemptions In The CA Examination

 Introduction 

Students doing CA Exam Preparation have seen confusion about the ICAI Exemption rules and resultant they are misguided by their friends or other people who have done CA exam preparation. They are only aware that they’ll get an exemption if they score 60 marks in a single subject and nothing else. So many times, even after scoring more than 60% they ask why we have not granted an exemption?

Rules of Exemption in CA Papers

1. A candidate who has scored a minimum of 60% in a CA exam paper or paper(s) in a group/unit shall be eligible for exemption in such paper.

2. In order to claim the exemption, candidates must have appeared in all the papers of that Group/Unit in the CA Exam.

3. The exemption shall be valid only for the next three following examinations for the CA exam.

4. While doing CA exam preparation the candidate should know that he/she declared to have passed where he has scored a minimum of 40% marks in individual subject and 50% marks in aggregate of all the subjects including the paper in which he has secured exemption in the earlier attempt.

5. Once the exemption has been claimed in a group/unit, the candidate will become ineligible to further claim any exemption in that group/unit until he/she has exhausted the exemption already granted.
