My question to u all is that is it really true that ICAP even fails students that pass the exams? I certainly dont think so. I do agree that they've a tough passing policy but by no way this means that they fail students who deserve to pass. I am of the opinion that before any comments are made on ICAP's passing policy, a review should be conducted as to how they determine the passing criteria of a student. A tough passing policy is desireable as we all are aware as to the salary packages of CA's. This can be proven by taking a look at the no. of qualified ACCA's and their remuneration. People there is a simple economic concept the more the supply, the lower the price and vice versa. Think about it. Probably ICAP is right and we who blame them are wrong.

I believe two 'wrongs' don't make a 'right'... Its very easy to determine if ICAP has a tough passing policy or if it allows a specific number of students to clear the examinations... However, I do believe they're doing the right thing by maintaining the supply and demand level, or rather keeping the demand level a bit high... But their actions can not be justified fairly... The thing that is wrong 'is wrong'...
This has been a hot issue over past several years... Don't you think ICAP itself is aware of these discussions??... Why don't they take a bold step and explain students the 'proper marking criteria' and 'passing standards'...
I strongly am of the opinion that if they want to give CA students a hard time to clear examinations, they should give tougher examination questions or should increase the passing marks quota, so that things may 'apparently' atleast look fair...
But that's just my opinion, who cares about it... Babas-e-ICAP will do what they think is 'correct'. (Feel sorry for CA students)
