I am not aware of this incident in detail so it wont be right for me to comment.
From what I can read, questions of one section appeared in another - sounds sad, but doesnt come as a dissappointment because since last 2-3 yrs, these kind of things are going on. Sometimes, the question paper gets leaked, or doesnt add upto 100 marks, occassionally the results dont come on time, the revaluation process happens after the exams for next attempt are conducted.....the list of such incidents is endless. It seems ICAI is going through a bad time....it must consult an astrologer and check its stars :-)
From another thing I read, the students kept chapters at option and said that normally some chapters dont hold much of importance. Well, here i can say that 100% students are to be blamed. Students make their own assumptions and decide what is important and what is not and keep speculating about the type of questions being asked. In a way, I can also say that one of the reasons ICAI has been very harsh on some matters like that of transfers is because of students itself. I have seen that when some power is given to kids, they do not use it propperly. There have been cases of misbehaviour, multiple transfers, unprofessionalism etc earlier. I have also seen many students who would just not care about anything else except for exams and have a very exam oriented approach. However, I also feel that there are better ways to deal with such incidents and its quite unjust to adopt unconstitutional and undemcratic ways of ensuring discipline.
