A student is said to have passed one of the groups if he secures "a minimum of 40 marks in each paper and an aggregate of 50% in all the papers of that group"

Passing both groups together

There is no provision for clubbing the marks of both the groups together for assessing the result of the examination, even if the student has written all the papers of both the groups at the same time.

The normal procedure to be adopted in case of failure by a student is to reappear in all the papers of a that group in which he/she has not qualified.

However a student may be exempt from appearing in one or more papers of a group in the subsequent examinations, on account of having scored high marks (more than 60%) in the examination in which he/she was declared failed.

One should note that a student may also be exempt from appearing in one or more papers of a group on account of having specified academic qualifications.

A candidate who obtains more than 60% of marks in any paper or papers and a minimum of 25% of marks in all the remaining papers of that group in which he has appeared shall be exempted from appearing in that paper in the subsequent examinations.

The candidate is required to obtain a minimum of 40% in each paper and an aggregate of 50% in the total of the remaining subjects of the group in the subsequent examinations.

Example

An Attempt

Say a student has obtained the following marks in an examination

I - 65, II - 35, III - 30; Total = 130. [Aggregate < 50% → Fail]

Since the student has got marks 7ge; 60% in Paper I and has also got the minimum required in other papers i.e. ≥ 25% in Papers II and III, he/she will be exempted from appearing in Paper I in the subsequent examinations.

In the next exam the candidate is required to appear only in papers II and III and get a minimum of 40% and aggregate of 50% (total of 100) in the papers II, and III together.

Next Attempt

Say the student has obtained the following marks in the subsequent exam

1. Case 1

   The student may obtain marks required to pass the examination.

   II - 54, III - 58. Total = 112. [Aggregate ≥ 50% → Pass]

2. Case 2

   The student may fail the examination but still obtain an exemption in one more papers additionally.

   II - 30, III - 65. Total = 95. [Aggregate < 50% → Fail]

   The student fails the examination. Here there is a scope for exemption in Paper III since the student obtained ≥ 60% and has got a minimum of 25% in the other paper.

   In the next exam the student is required to appear only Paper II and get a minimum of 50%.

3. Case 3

   The student may fail the examination and not get any new exemptions.

   II - 20, III - 65. Total = 85. [Aggregate < 50% and Failed in Paper II → Fail]

Special Case » Failing after Getting an Aggregate ≥ 60%

Where a student who has appeared in all the papers of a group has failed in one paper but obtained a minimum of 60% of the total marks of the remaining subjects (not in each subject) shall be declared to have passed in that group if he secured 50% marks in that paper in which he failed in any subsequent examination.

An attempt

I - 55, II - 35, III - 72 Total = 162. [Aggregate > 50% → Fail]

Has got 60% in I and III together (i.e. the other subjects).

In the subsequent exams the student needs to appear only in paper II and get a minimum of 50% in it to pass in the group.

Claiming Exemptions on account of Possessing other Qualifications

The student has to make specific mention of the same at the time of registration and claim exemption.

The requisite fee for the same should also be paid in addition to the regular registration fee.

A candidate who is eligible for exemption by the virtue of possessing the relevant qualifications should pay an exemption fee of Rs. 200 per paper in which exemption is being claimed and make an application on or before the last date for submission of enrolment application for the particular examination.

Attested copy of the relevant qualification should also be attached with the application for claiming exemption.

The examination fee for a group should however be paid in full. There is no reduction in the examination fee for the papers in which the student has been exempted.

Claiming Exemptions on Getting High Marks

To claim exemption on account of scoring high marks, a student has to mention the same in the application for examination at the time of making the application for the subsequent exams.

Since there is no reduction in fee for exempted subjects either on account of having other qualifications or on account of having scored high marks in prior examinations, care should be taken to ensure that the relevant columns are properly filled in the examination application.

Foregoing Exemptions

A student if he so desires can forego the exemption he has in a subject by mentioning the same in the application for examination, i.e. by ignoring the column where the details relevant to claiming exemptions are to be filled.

The benefit once foregone cannot be availed in the subsequent attempts.

Exemption from Intermediate

No one is exempt from studying all the papers at this level i.e. there is no academic qualification that would entitle a student to bypass the intermediate level and go to the final level directly.

Exemption from some Papers

Only a pass in the final examination of ICSI, has the following subjects exemption. No exemption is available for any other qualification under Revised Syllabus 2008.

1. Paper 5: Financial Accounting
2. Paper 7: Applied Direct Taxation
