Ca merit list awards

Hi friends,

                   I was just wondering if a student's name appears in the MERIT LIST, will he/she be given a CERTIFICATE OF MERIT/APPRECIATION by ICAI...On googling, I found that students eligible for scholarships are invited to Delhi in April/October for award of scholarships...But, the automatic scholarship is only for top 10 rankers...For the rest of the merit list students, it is merit cum need-based, ie, only those students whose parents annual earning is below Rs.1,50,000 p.a are awarded scholarships...

So, for such students, I want to know if ICAI felicitates by issuing a CERTIFICATE OF MERIT atleast...Because, all of the CA merit list students are worthy candidates of being felicitated atleast....

I'm more interested in this now because, I got AIR 33 in MAY 2013 IPCE exams... smiley 

Roll No : 307483

Reg No : SRO 0353020

And, as per institute guidelines, I'm not eligible for any scholarship as my parent's earnings are not below Rs.1,50,000 p.a....So, I want to know if the institute would present me a CERTIFICATE OF MERIT at a felicitation ceremony...

Can anyone clarify please?

regds,

shruti

Dear Shruti,

Scholarship is for top 10 Rank holders and after that it depends upon the need of the family . Since in your case your family earning is more than 1,50,000 you are not eligible for scholarship .

Hi Sruthi, u will get a merit certificate(plus a letter of appreciation & a list of all rank holders) via post. I dont think there will be any felicitation..

Thank you jithin...

When I receive score card from ICAI, I'll look for the merit certificate and appreciation letter..Thank you for the clarification

 

Hi Shruthi..Normally ICAI sends merit certificate seperately. So first u will get the certificate of passing IPCC & later on(around one month later) the merit certificate. 

Thanks once again Jithin for the deeper clarification...

Welcomesmiley & All the best for final. 

The first three rank holders are invited at the annual function of the ICAI and are awarded the Merit Certificates/Prizes. Earlier the other rankholders used to get the Merit Certificate by Post. Of late, the branches of ICAI are organising Felicitation programmes where Merit Certificates are awarded.
