Set off - cs

Hi Every one,

When you are going to appear for all gropu of the professional or Executive, set off is available only on the basis of that you have individully scored 40 marks in each paper and in aggregate it comes to fifty percent. If you are appearing separately in each group, in each paper you have to score 40% & 50% in Aggregate of that group, then you will be declared "pass" .

It is clearly mentioned in the prospectus of the CS regisration.

thanks,

Plz help !!!!

 

Dear Yash,

You have appeared for all modules in Dec 2013 and you have scored 37 marks in FTM. If in revaulation, you got 40 (37+3) marks, then total scores in all modules will be 393 which is not 400 to get the passing marks, so inter module set off will not be available to your case. If the total of all four modules in one attempt come to 400 marks ( individually getting 40 marks), then set off is available.

thanks,

Hi Yash ji,

As the complete Score card of your December 2013 Professional Examination was not uploaded by you, I have re-uploaded the same for the benefit of others to give their views.

Now getting back to your query, if you obtain 3 marks through re-verification procedure in FTFM { technically you pass the paper} (But would be ideal, if you get 10 marks in FTFM, then it will leverage your overall score to 400 in aggregate) or if you can get the balance 7 marks in any other paper through re-verification procedure, only then you will get the benefit of set- off.

Simply it implies you have scored 40% in each subject in one sitting subject to an aggregate of 50% (400 Marks), therefore qualified your CS Professional examination. But, this will come true only if your deficit of 10 marks is made good by complying with re-verification process and you are fortunate to secure those marks.

Best of luck.

i want to know that if i will fill form of rechecking of 4th module and get 1 mark then can i setoff marks of the 3rd module in 4th module 6 marks of 3rd module?

plz reply

Intra module set off of your choice is not permitted. Your aggregate score should be 400 to get the benefit of intra module set off. In your case, there is an overall shortage of 12 marks. In the course of re-verification of 4th module you get 7 marks extra then you will clear module 4. And assuming you score 41 in CRI then your aggregate turns out to be 400 and you qualify as a Company Secretary. 

Good luck for your re-verification.
