Having given a number of times the exams the institute conducts, i am yet to find as to how marks are alloted to us because the marks given to us do not really reflect what we wrote in the examination. that is what i have found over the years.what is the scheme of marking. how the marks are allotted remains a mystery to us. our standard regarding achieving marks is brought down to such a level that we cannot think of getting more than 50 marks in normal circumstances. is it really that tough to score in examinations even though we know all the answers and still end up getting such kind of marks. can someone really tell me as to wht institute really wants from its students. they really are bringing the motivation level of the students down to earth, the causes of which even remains a mystery.

i don't agree with u sir or u can say we are doing CA.if institute start allotes 10/10 then what is the difference between ca and other couses in the market. we all need some standard in our life compare to others similarly institute maintain it's standards. institute want standard answers in exam. read suggested answer after result. u can easilly understand why institute allots that marks to you. we all should thankful to our institute that we are associated with such kind of body that makes such kind of difference in us.

thanks & regards

It is well known fact and universal truth beyond doubt that scaling is one of the tools institute uses to balance the result it wants to reflect in any given attempt.... Now, its not like that those who do well, in toto, given result upside down....Wen in one subject, marks are scaled down, then every student of that subject bears the same brunt.... Still that remains the power in the hands of the insittue which many times leveas the student dumstruck........!!!!!!!!!!!!
