@ swaroopa checking of ICAI was always as per guidelines to the examiners but at some times due to various reasons some grace marks have been added in total marks of some random strata and now due to some severe econimic factors these grace marks will NOT be available, this was told by our one of the past president sir. While addressing us as young CAs. That wont make much difference as my experience says that we get what we deserve & smtimes even lesser now that can be our wrong impression that we deserved more, the conclusion is it was always up to luck to get selected 4 grace marks & I think I never got them as I have not a single experience of getting more than what I expected. Thats why I am proud of ICAI.
