hey ! one request to you all.

dont jus write thanks etc etc,  becauses it increases the size of the forum unnecessory ,

i would request you write your own view in words,  and one can thanks by clicking on the thumb also, it will not increase the size of the forum,  and one can read the whole forum's content , serially one by one.

sorry ! for it , but please understand the gravity of seriousness of the issue .

I had heard this from one of my friend but not knowing that its there in the Act.

 

We can't help it because it is there in the Act and to maintain the demand of CAs in the market.

 

We can do one thing while studying target for high marks then we can get thru.

very true Mr Sushil.

All/we wrere studying for securing 50 + but , but knowing the fact , we all must study with keep the target of atleaset 65 around, so that we can get 52 % or 53 % surely .

so whats the the purpose in awarding marks,Insted they may declare only pass or fail

if exam result is with held  what basis is with held and many of them told if only passed that sistution exam result is with held

Thanku friend
Thanku friend

I think by reading that Regulation posted by you, every failed student will feel that his result is altered...

I mean to maintain the passing percentage  (what you have said) Institute did some manipulation in their (who failed) result.......

But I think what you have searched is good one......

I think the word "All the students" is important in that regulations... It is not that You take lottery & pass or fail that student... If the ICAI wants to increase or decrese marks, it must be from the marks of all students....

gud post
