Minimum passing marks in each subject in cpt

 

As per Chartered Accountant (Amendment) Regulations 2012, the passing requirement of CPT has been modified as follows:
 
“36A Requirement for passing Common Proficiency Test.-- A candidate for the Common Proficiency Test shall ordinarily be declared to have passed the test if he obtains at one sitting a minimum of thirty per cent. marks in each section and a minimum of fifty per cent. marks in the aggregate of all the sections, subject to the principle of negative marking, in such manner as may be determined by the Council, from time to time.
 
Explanation.- For the removal of doubt, it is hereby declared that the provisions of this regulation shall apply to a Common Proficiency Test held on or after the commencement of the Chartered Accountants (Amendment) Regulations, 2012.”.

However the examination website icaiexam.icai.org shows the following:
 
 
 

A candidate shall ordinarily be declared to have passed the Common Proficiency Test if he/she obtains at one sitting a minimum of 50 percent marks in the aggregate of all the sections comprised in CPT (Examination), subject to the principle of negative marking. It is clarified that there is no requirement of securing minimum passing marks in a subject/section of CPT examination.
