01 October 2007 Sir,

As per the Info brochure of CPT,
“The calculator can be of any type with upto 6 functions, 12 digits and upto 2 memories. Attempt to use any other type of calculator not complying with the specifications indicated above or having more feature than above shall tantamount to use of unfair means”.
Regarding this I have some query.
1) What does 6 functions and upto 2 memories mean?
2) Suppose, along with this above feature, the calculator has 6 functions, 12 digits. In calculations like (64+23.5*6.7), we can do this calculation at once in the calculator’s small screen (like we can do long calculations upto 99 digits in scientific calculator, here we can upto 10 digits at once) rather than first press 64 then +, then 23.5, then =,then * then 6.7 and then =. The functions are the same, the calculator is not scientific,only it has a small screen which ahs 10 digits.
Are this type of calculator allowed?

Addition, subtraction, multiplication,division,%,sq root etc are the functions referred to by ICAI. Calculator with memory capacity of auto review/check are not recommendatory.

The intention behind the conditions is to avoid calculator which can be used as communication device between students at exam hall. Simply have a calculator which does not have auto review/memory check facility with 12 digit display. Please write your exams honestly. That is it.

Please do not use the calculator with TAX function as they will seize it.
