A candidate for the Common Proficiency Test shall ordinarily be declared to have passed the test if he/she obtains at one sitting a minimum of thirty percent marks in each section and a minimum of fifty percent marks in the aggregate of all the sections comprised in CPT (Examination), subject to the principle of negative marking, in such manner as may be determined by the Council from time to time.
There will be negative marking for each wrong answer. ¼ (One Fourth) mark will be deducted for each wrong answer. Please note that multiple darkened circles for a question will also be treated as wrong answer.
Any fraction of mark will be rounded off to the next full mark. It is clarified that there is no provision for improvement of result of CPT examination in the Chartered Accountants Regulations, 1988.
Therefore, such students who have once passed the CPT examination are not eligible to apply/appear afresh/again in the CPT examination.
