CA Foundation in one table
| Paper | Type | Marks | Minus marks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paper 1: Accounting | Written | 100 | No |
| Paper 2: Business Laws | Written | 100 | No |
| Paper 3: Quantitative Aptitude | MCQ | 100 | A quarter mark for each wrong answer |
| Paper 4: Business Economics | MCQ | 100 | A quarter mark for each wrong answer |
To pass, you need at least 40% in each paper and 50% overall. Foundation is held three times a year. Check the ICAI notice for your attempt, because dates and rules can change.
Inter and Final
At Intermediate and Final the papers come in two groups. You need 40% in each paper and 50% across the group. Written answers carry most of the marks, so the habit that matters is writing: working notes, the right format, and the law or standard named in each answer.
A day that works
- 20 minutes: a daily MCQ set, to keep concepts fresh.
- One to two hours: one chapter from the ICAI study material. Solve its illustrations yourself before you read the answers.
- One written question in exam format, timed.
- 10 minutes: yesterday's mistakes, tried again.
A week
- One topic test on the chapter you finished.
- One full mock for a paper, in exam time.
- An hour to mark it strictly and note what went wrong: the concept, the calculation or the presentation.
