This was the first time that ICAI had introduced objective type questions in the exams. While the pass percentage of CA Final(New Course) has increased.

Trend Analysis of CA Final May 2019 Results

The pass percentage of CA Final May 2019 are yet to be declared. However, the Toppers list has been released. Upon careful analysis and comparison of the marks obtained by the Toppers of CA Final May 2019 (Old syllabus) with that of the Toppers of the last attempt, we can see there is an increase in the scores of the toppers of CA Final May 2019 (Old Syllabus).

Trend Analysis of CA Final May 2019 Results (Old Syllabus)

The aggregate of the CA Final Nov 2018 (Old Syllabus) topper AIR-1 Shadab Hussain was 74.63% whereas the aggregate scored by AIR-1 Ajay Aggarwal of the CA Final May 2019 (Old Syllabus) is 81.25%. Therefore, a sharp increase can be seen in terms of the marks scored by the students.

The same trend is seen for the other two rank holders as well, for the 2nd and 3rd position. In CA Final Nov 2018 (Old Syllabus) attempt, AIR- 2 Shahid Husen Shokat Menon had scored an aggregate of 73% and AIR-3 Rishabh Sharma had scored 71.88%. Whereas this time in CA Final May 2019 (Old Syllabus), AIR- 2 Radhalakshmi V.P. has scored an aggregate of 79.13% and AIR-3 Umang Gupta has scored 73.50%.

Similarly,

Trend Analysis of CA Final May 2019 Results (New Syllabus)

The aggregate of the CA Final Nov 2018 (New Syllabus) topper AIR-1 Siddhant Bhandari was 69.38% whereas the aggregate scored by AIR-1 Nayan Goyal of the CA Final May 2019 (New Syllabus) is 75.88%. Therefore, a sharp increase can be seen in terms of the marks scored by the students.

The same trend is seen for the other two rank holders as well, for the 2nd and 3rd position. In CA Final Nov 2018 (Old Syllabus) attempt, AIR- 2 Rohit Kumar Soni had scored an aggregate of 68% and AIR-3 Pulkit Arora & Jay Bohra had scored 67.63%. Whereas this time in CA Final May 2019 (Old Syllabus), AIR- 2 Kavya S. has scored an aggregate of 75.5% and AIR-3 Arpit Chittora has scored 75.00%.

In the result of the CA Final May 2019 (New Syllabus) it can be particularly seen that the difference in the aggregate percentage of all the 3 rank holders is very marginal. While the AIR-1 has 75.88%, the AIR-2 has 75.50% and AIR-3 has 75.00%. CA Final May 2019 (New Syllabus) has indeed been a close competition.

It overall shows that students have secured more marks as compared to the previous attempt. It however does not represent the overall pass percentage. We will await for the official pass percentage release to do a comparative analysis of the same.
