Passing criteria and re-verification option
To pass the CA Foundation exam, candidates must score at least 40 marks in each subject and secure a minimum of 50 percent marks in aggregate across all four papers. Students who score more than 70 percent overall are awarded the "pass with distinction" status.
The CA Foundation exam consists of four papers - Accounting, Business Law, Quantitative Aptitude, and Business Economics. Negative marking applies in Paper 3 and Paper 4, where one-fourth of a mark is deducted for every incorrect answer.
Students who are not satisfied with their marks can apply for verification of their answer sheets through the ICAI online portal. This allows candidates to request a recheck to ensure there are no totaling or calculation errors in the evaluation.
