ICAI has a centralized Self-Service Portal to streamline the registration process.

During the Final Course registration, students must also register for the Self-Paced Online Modules. The registration form for the Final Course includes an option to select subjects under Self-Paced Online Module Sets C and D. No additional fee is required for registering in the Self-Paced Online Modules, which include Sets A, B, C, and D.

There is no negative marking for objective-type questions.

EXEMPTION

A student who attempts all the papers in a Group/Unit and fails in one or more but secures at least 60% marks in any paper(s) of that Group/Unit will be eligible for an exemption in those paper(s) for the next three subsequent examinations. This means that while availing of the exemption, the student must clear the remaining papers within any of the next three attempts.

The student will be considered to have passed that Group/Unit if, in a single attempt, they secure at least 40% marks in each paper of the Group/Unit and a minimum of 50% of the total marks across all papers in the Group/Unit, including those for which they previously secured a minimum of 60% marks. No additional exemptions will be granted for the remaining papers in that Group/Unit until the exemptions already provided have been utilized.

Suppose a candidate has exhausted the exemption granted under sub-regulation (6) of Regulation 38E and has not cleared the respective Group or Unit. In that case, they may choose to continue the exemption for subsequent examinations. However, in this scenario, the candidate must secure at least 50% marks in each of the remaining papers of that Group or Unit to be declared as having passed the Group or Unit.
