Wrong Roll no. In answer sheet

I had recently appeared for CA Final December 2021 exams. I think probably i made mistake while writing my roll no. i.e. digits are interchanged 49 instead of 94 and same is circled and in words.

And this is creating too much anxiety as that paper was too good for me and negative thoughts are everywhere if that paper isn't evaluated or evaluated but I'm not correctly rewarded for same.

Does Bar Code can be helpful here?

If you have mistakenly entered an incorrect roll number on your ICAI examination answer sheet, it is crucial to take prompt action to ensure your paper is correctly identified and evaluated.

Recommended Steps to Take

  1. Contact the Examination Department Immediately:

    • Reach out to the ICAI examination helpline or email the specific department for your course level as soon as possible.

    • Email IDs:

      • Final: final_examhelpline @ icai.in

      • Intermediate: intermediate_examhelpline @ icai.in

      • Foundation: foundation_examhelpline @ icai.in

  2. Provide Detailed Information:

    • In your email, clearly state your correct Roll Number, Registration Number, the Subject/Paper name, the Date of the exam, and the Exam Center details.

    • Explain the error clearly (e.g., "I accidentally interchanged digits X and Y in my roll number").

  3. Role of Barcodes:

    • ICAI typically uses barcode technology to link answer sheets to candidates. If you have correctly affixed the barcode, this often serves as the primary identifier, which may help in locating your scriptt despite the incorrect manual entry of the roll number.

Important Considerations

  • Do Not Panic: This is a documented issue that the Institute has processes to handle. Reporting it quickly is the most effective way to resolve it.

  • Verification: Keep a copy of the communication you send to the ICAI helpline for your records. If you do not receive a response, follow up via phone or through the official ICAI Examination portal.

  • Result Verification: Once results are released, if you suspect any discrepancy in your marks due to this error, you can formally apply for the verification of your answer sheets as per ICAI regulations.


Summary: If you wrote the wrong roll number on your ICAI exam sheet, email the appropriate exam helpline (e.g., final_examhelpline @ icai.in) immediately with your correct details and exam information to ensure your paper is properly identified.
