12 October 2012 In one booklet of ICAI it is mentioned that there should be minimum 30% passing in all subject and aggregate 50% then only students will declare as PASS. (Applicable from Aug 2012)

In another brochure of ICAI which come with exam registration form mentioned that only aggregate 50% passing in all 4 subject no individual 30%

Please let me know which is correct.
Thanks

13 October 2012 Requirement for Passing the Common
Proficiency Test

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.

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 in aggregate 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
