The verification procedure

An student of CA exams who gave his attempt but not satisfied with the result can apply for verification of his/her answer books, either physically in his/her own handwriting, or on-line.

Generally here, the process of verification of marks covers :

• Whether any question or part thereof has remained unvalued.
• Whether the answer book(s) compilation is complete.
• Whether the handwriting of the examinee in all the answer books is the same
• Whether there is any totaling error in any question or total marks on the cover page
• Whether there is any discrepancy between the marks for each question and or part thereof and marks for each question indicated on the cover page of the answer book.

These all will be observed....therefore though you apply online you have to take write a letter with your own handwritting and get it scaned so that scaned copy is to be uploaded when applying for request of verification. There is no need to send application in post seperately when done through online. In whatever medium he/she wrote the exam the letter should also be written with the same language like for example if the examinee had appeared in Hindi medium, his/her application should be in Hindi. Typewritten applications are not at all entertained. There are no hard and fast rule on how the letter should be or standard format of latter. but you need to clearly mention the following details in that application and signed by the student who appeared for the exam himself or we can simply say examinee.

Note

• Its only verification of answer book but not evaluation.....i.e. they also go through activities like Is there any mistake in the calculation of total or.....,whether the marks allotted to all answers or not.....so they will not verify each and every answer again.
• The main thing here is apply for verification only when you are 2 or 3 marks away to get pass or exemption orelse it does not work out that favourably.......It does not mean that its waste because.... there are some cases who got 20 marks and declared as pass.....so cant estimate but chances are less when the gap between your score and the pass marks or exemption is more.
• Though the marks change they may not impact on the results for most of the times.
• If marks change they may result in pass of the Group or exemption in one or more subjects.
