SalamX [I] !
is it exptable that the no. of rotio of studntX getting pass in CA is a/c to the market demand [o)] ....??[p]
<br />I hear a lot of you people talking about ICAP's passing policy.
Well I have heard the following from a Baba who was also at one time in the Council. He told me once that the passing marks remains changing and depends upon the qaulity of paper and students response to that paper i.e. if the paper is a toughy, passing marks are lower and if a paper is easy, the passing criteria goes above. Further, he elaborated that passing marks are based on the average performance of examinees i.e. say 1000 students gave the exams, their papers were marked and simple average of their marks was computed which comes to say 65, now all the students getting above 65 are passed and below are failed.
Personally I have witnessed the same thing. I was refereed in a paper when I was 100% confident that the least I will get will be 70 and similarly in my other exams, i performed lower to my own expectations but was above the average, so I passed.
Seems like fair and square to me [)]
I believe that the above method, if used by ICAP is right. Also consider the worth of CA as compared to other professionals. Who wants to see a qualified CA to end up like MBA or Doctors or Engineers or Indian CAs????
