I dont say institute reduces marks in every answer sheet. However, as per regulation 39 of CA regulations, institute hold right to deduct mark form any classs of students to maintain a particular pass out. below is exect wordings from Regulations:
39. Examination results
(1) (a) A list of candidates declared successful at each
examination shall be published.
(b) The names of candidates obtaining distinction in
the examination shall be indicated in the list.
(c) Every candidate shall be individually informed of
his result.
(2) The Council may, in its discretion, revise the marks
obtained by all candidates or a section of candidates in any
particular paper or papers or in the aggregate in such manner as
may be considered necessary, for maintaining the standards of
pass percentage provided in these Regulations.

refers to the category of the candidates whose answer
papers are valued by an examiner and such other category of
