Urgent cpt 30% limit query

from aug 2012 ..it is the rule applied by icai

30 % in each subject and 50 % in agg

@ Sneha:

The above said 30% rule is not applicable for Dec 2012 cpt exams. ICAI has very clearly mentioned the same in its exam guidance notes for cpt. Check below link for official reference.

"9. Requirement for Passing the Common Proficiency Test

A candidate shall ordinarily be declared to have passed the Common Proficiency Test if he/she obtains at one sitting a minimum of 50 percent marks in the aggregate of all the sections comprised in CPT (Examination), subject to the principle of negative marking. It is clarified that there is no requirement of securing minimum passing marks in a subject/section of CPT examination.

There will be negative marking for each wrong answer.  ¼ (One Fourth) mark will be deducted for each wrong answer.  Please note that multiple darkened circles for a question will also be treated as wrong answer.'
