Note :

Student A : Though his aggregate is more than 200 he could not get minimum of 40 marks in Paper -1. So  the student is declared as FAIL.

Student B : Though the student can get aggregate of 50% he could not get minimum of 40 marks in Paper -1. So he is declared as FAIL but availed exemption in Paper - 3 So the student need not to write that particular paper in the next attempt

Student C : The student secured 40% marks in each paper and also fulfilled the condition of getting overall aggregate of 50% So he is declared as PASS

Student D : Though the student scored above 60% marks in Paper - 2 he has failed to be present for one of the papers so declared as FAIL and even the Exemption also cannot be availed.

The same procedure is followed for group - 2.

Reasons to Surrender Exemption :

  • CA Final ranks will be allotted only to 1st 50 Top Scorers and the condition is that He/She should be present in all the papers of both groups
  • If they avail Exemption in the 1st attempt then they are not going to write all the papers in the next attempt therefore the chance of availing Rank has been washed out.
  • This has been the main reasons why the students are surrendering their exemption there may also be some other personal reasons depending upon the student.
