What the ICAI Does and Why the “ICAI Result” Matters

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India is the body that conducts CA exams in India.

When you see the phrase “ICAI Result”, it refers to the outcome of either the Foundation, Intermediate or Final level of the CA course.
This result matters a lot because:

It shows if you passed the exam and can move to the next stage.
It affects your career path if you want to become a Chartered Accountant.
It guides you on what you must do next: practical training, article-ship, further studies.

Key Terms You Should Know

Before you check your result, get familiar with these terms:

Foundation exam – the first level in the CA course.

Intermediate exam – the next level after Foundation.

Final exam – the last level before you qualify as CA.

Roll number – your unique exam number.

Registration number – your student ID with ICAI.

Pass percentage / aggregate – minimum marks you must get to pass.

How to Check the ICAI Result Online

Here is a simple step-by-step guide to view your result:

Visit the official ICAI result portal: “icai.nic.in” or “caresults.icai.org”. (icai.nic.in)
Find the link for the result of your exam (Foundation, Intermediate or Final).
Enter your roll number and registration number as required.
Submit and view your result.

Pass Criteria for ICAI Exams

To pass your CA exam you must meet certain marks requirements. Generally:

You need 40% marks in each paper.

You need 50% aggregate marks across all papers.
If you meet both, you pass. If you miss one part, you may need to re-attempt certain papers or groups.

What Happens After the ICAI Result Is Declared

Once you see your ICAI result, here’s what to do next:

If you passed, plan your next step: for Foundation finish, start Intermediate; for Intermediate finish, prepare for Final; for Final finish, apply for article-ship or practice.

If you did not pass, check which papers or groups you need to retry. Prepare a study plan, review weak areas, and apply for the next exam.

Download your mark-sheet or scorecard as soon as you can.

Keep a copy of the result for your records and future use (job applications, further studies).
