full marks for the exempted paper. However, inter-group set-off is not permitted.

01. Re-exam on Failure. Exemptions on getting high marks
The normal procedure in case of all the three courses is that the student has to reappear in all the papers of a particular group/stage in which he/she has not qualified.
However where the student has exemptions in one or more papers, either on account of having additional qualification (like for CWA and CS exams) or on account of having scored high marks (more than 60%) in one or more papers in the examination in which he/she was declared failed, is exempt from appearing in that paper/papers in the subsequent examination.
There are two different methods in operation for exemptions based on high marks.
Exemption Methodology
There are two methods of providing beneficial treatment to students who have got high marks (more than 60%) in one or more papers but have failed the group/stage in which the paper falls.
First Method
The student is exempted from appearing in the paper in which he obtains the high marks. In the subsequent examinations, the student would be required to obtain the minimum of 40% marks and an aggregate of 50% in the remaining papers of the group/stage without taking into consideration the paper in which he/she was exempted.
This method works on the premise that the papers that you are appearing in (after leaving out the exempted ones) are the only ones in that examination. Therefore the rule of 40% minimum in each paper and 50% aggregate should be applied accordingly to only those papers in which the student appears.
Example:
An Attempt
Say a student has obtained the following marks in an examination
I - 65, II - 40, III - 43, IV - 42 Total = 190. Aggregate < 50% ⇒ Fail
Since the student has got marks ≥ 60% in Paper I and has also got the minimum required in other papers i.e. ≥ 40% in Papers II, III and IV, he/she will be exempted from appearing in Paper I in the subsequent examinations.
In the next exam the candidate is required to appear only in papers II, III, and IV and get a minimum of 40% and aggregate of 50% (total of 150) in the papers II, III, and IV together.
Next Attempt:
Say the student has obtained the following marks in the subsequent exam
Case 1
The student may obtain marks required to pass the examination.
II - 54, III - 58, IV - 42. Total = 154. Aggregate ≥ 50% ⇒ Pass
Case 2
The student may fail the examination but still obtain an exemption in one more paper.
II - 44, III - 60, IV - 42. Total = 146. Aggregate < 50% ⇒ Fail
The student fails the examination. Here there is a scope for exemption in Paper III since the student obtained ≥ 60% and has got a minimum of 40% in the other two papers.
In the next exam the stduent is required to appear only in Papers II and IV and get a minimum of 40% and aggregate of 50% (total of 100) in the papers II and IV together.
Case 3
The student may fail the examination and has got not new exemptions.
II - 38, III - 65, IV - 42. Total = 145.
Aggregate ≥ 50% and Failed in Paper II ⇒ Fail
Second Method
The student is exempted from appearing in the paper in which he obtains the high marks.
The marks of the student in that paper would be carried forward to the next examinations. The student would be required to obtain the minimum marks and the aggregate in all the papers of the group/stage taking into consideration the same marks obtained in the paper in which he has obtained the high mark.
This method works on the premise that the paper in which you are exempted has been alloted the same marks in the subsequent examinations also. Therefore it amounts to having appeared in all the papers including the exempted one. Therefore the rule of 40% minimum in each paper and 50% aggregate should be applied accordingly to all the papers by including the marks obtained in the exempted paper in the earlier examination as the marks obtained in the current examination.
Example:
An Attempt
Say a student has obtained the following marks in an examination
I - 65, II - 40, III - 43, IV - 42 Total = 190.Aggregate < 50% ⇒ Fail
Since the student has got marks ≥ 60% in Paper I and has also got the minimum required in other papers i.e. ≥ 40% in Papers II, III and IV, he/she will be exempted from appearing in Paper I in the subsequent examinations.
In the next exam the candidate is required to appear only in papers II, III, and IV and get a minimum of 40% and a total of 135 in the papers II, III, and IV together to make the aggregate 50% in all the papers including the exempted paper.
This provision is applied as if you got the same mark in every examination in that paper in which you have obtained the high marks.
The second method would be more beneficial as you would be getting the benefit of higher marks getting added to the aggregate every time without having to appear in the exam. You need only a lesser aggregate in the remaining subjects to clear the group/stage.
This benefit may be obtained by the student in more than one subjects provided he satisfies the other conditions required for availing the same.
