CA Result May 2025: The Chartered Accountant (CA) May 2025 examination results for CA Foundation, Intermediate, and Final levels are eagerly awaited. As per ICAI’s previous result declaration patterns, CA Result for May 2025 exams are expected in July 2025 (Foundation, Intermediate & Final).
These results will be officially published on the ICAI website (icai.nic.in). Candidates can check their ICAI CA exam results online using their registration and roll numbers. Historically, CA exams are very competitive – for example, in May 2024 only about 19.88% of Final exam takers and 18.42% of Intermediate exam takers cleared both groups. This means candidates should carefully review result details, passing marks, and next steps.
CA Foundation Result May 2025 Exams
Exam Schedule & Result Date: The CA Foundation exam (May 2025) was conducted in May (tentatively around May 15-21, 2025). As per ICAI’s previous patterns, the Foundation result is likely to be declared in July 2025 on the ICAI result portal. (Exact date/time will be announced by ICAI in advance.)
CA Foundation January 2025 Achievers
How to Check CA Foundation Result May 2025: When declared, candidates can view their CA Foundation result at the official ICAI results website (icai.nic.in/caresult). They must enter their 6-digit Foundation roll number and 6-digit ICAI registration number to log in and view the scorecard.
For example, an ICAI announcement notes: “the result…can be accessed by candidates on the website icai.nic.in” and “the candidate shall have to enter his/her Registration No. along with Roll No”. Many websites also list step-by-step instructions (e.g. visit icai.nic.in, click the CA Foundation May 2025 link, enter credentials, and submit).
SMS & Email: As an alternative, ICAI provides result alerts by SMS or email. Foundation candidates can send an SMS in the format CAFND <RollNo> to 57575 to get their result on mobile. (Similarly, email alerts can be set up by registering on ICAI’s portal before exams).
Passing Criteria: To pass the CA Foundation exam, a student must score at least 40 marks (out of 100) in each paper and at least 50% aggregate over all papers in one sitting.
In other words, 40% in each paper and 50% total. There is negative marking (¼ mark deducted for each wrong answer) in Papers 3 and 4. There is no provision for an “improvement” attempt in Foundation – once passed, candidates cannot retake Foundation.
CA Foundation Result Details & Distinction
The Foundation scorecard will list the candidate’s name, roll number, paper-wise marks (and passing status), total marks, and result status (Pass/Fail). If a student scores 70% or above aggregate, ICAI notes this as “Pass with Distinction” on the result card.
(For example, in past sessions top scorers often achieve around 85–90%.) No formal rank certificates or merit lists are issued for Foundation – only a simple pass/fail result is announced.
Official Score Sheets & Verification: Successful Foundation candidates receive a Statement of Marks by post within a few weeks after results. (If a marksheet is delayed beyond ~4–5 weeks, candidates can email [email protected].) If any candidate is unhappy with their score, ICAI allows applying for certified copies of evaluated answer books.
One can apply online through the ICAI Self Service Portal within 30 days of the result (fee ₹500 per paper). For verification of marks (re-totaling), a handwritten application (with fee ₹100 per paper) must be submitted within 30 days of the result. (If re-checking changes the marks, fees are refunded.) These processes ensure transparency and help candidates double-check their CA Foundation result if needed.
Pass Rate (Example): CA Foundation is known for low pass rates. For example, in June 2024 only 14.96% of candidates cleared the exam. (Similarly, around 20% passed Foundation in Sept 2024.) This underscores the exam’s difficulty. Toppers typically score well above 80–90% in aggregate, but even near-top scores are hard to achieve.
What Next: If you pass CA Foundation May 2025, congratulations! You become eligible to register for the CA Intermediate course. (ICAI advises registering early – next Intermediate applications open soon.)
If you fail or clear only some subjects, plan to reappear. Most students who did not clear all papers in one attempt re-attempt the next session (often November 2025) after focused preparation. Use your result and marksheet to identify weak subjects and start revising well in advance. Remember, many successful CAs did not pass on the first try – persistence is key.
CA Intermediate Result May 2025 Exams
Exam Schedule & Result Date: The CA Intermediate examination (May 2025) consisted of Group I papers (held around early May) and Group II papers (mid May). As per ICAI’s previous pattern, the CA Inter results for May 2025 are likely to be declared in July 2025 on the ICAI website. Candidates should keep checking icai.nic.in for the official announcement.
How to Check CA Inter Result May 2025: Inter candidates will check their results in the same way as Foundation – via the ICAI results portal. Enter your registration and roll number on icai.nic.in (CA result page) to view the CA Intermediate May 2025 scorecard. Alternatively, ICAI offers SMS results: for example, send CAINTER <RollNo> to 57575 to get your Intermediate result via SMS.
Passing Criteria: The passing requirements for each group of CA Intermediate are similar to Foundation and Final: a minimum of 40 marks in each paper and 50% aggregate per group. In practice, this means scoring 50% overall in Group I to clear Group I, and 50% in Group II to clear Group II (with 40 marks per subject). (ICAI’s regulations confirm this 40/50 rule for CA Final, and the same principle applies to Intermediate.)
CA Inter Result Details & Distinction
The CA Inter scorecard will display subject-wise marks, total marks, and status for each group. ICAI awards a “Pass with Distinction” remark if a candidate passes a group in one sitting with 70% or above aggregate. Rank certificates (merit lists) are issued for Intermediate.
Only students meeting all criteria (passed in one sitting, no exemptions, and at least 55% aggregate) receive an All-India rank up to 50th position. After May 2024 exams, for example, the top CA Inter ranks were in the high 80s percentage.
Certified Copies & Re-check: If you wish to review your exam papers, ICAI allows ordering certified copies of evaluated answer books within 30 days of results. For re-verification of totals, applications (with ₹100 per paper) must also be submitted within the 30-day window. This gives Intermediate candidates a chance to ensure their CA result is accurate.
Result Statistics (Example): The May 2024 CA Intermediate results were also very competitive – only 18.42% of candidates passed both groups. Group-wise pass rates in May 2024 were about 27.15% (Group I) and 18.28% (Group II). Historically, Intermediate pass rates often stay below 30%. This reflects how tough the inter-level syllabus is, and why thorough preparation is crucial.
What Next: Candidates who pass both groups of Intermediate can register for the CA Final course (final exam). Those who pass only one group may carry it forward, but must clear the other group in a subsequent attempt. Those who do not pass a group need to reappear in the next exam (likely November 2025).
For high scorers, a CA Inter pass certificate will be issued within 60 days of result declaration.
CA Final Result May 2025
Exam Schedule & Result Date: The CA Final exam (May 2025) included Group I (held ~May 2,4,6) and Group II (held ~May 8,10,13). As per ICAI’s previous pattern, the CA Final result is expected in the first week of July 2025. Students should watch ICAI’s official channels for the exact declaration date.
How to Check CA Final Result May 2025: CA Final candidates will check results just like others – via the ICAI results portal (icai.nic.in). Enter your roll and registration number to access the CA Final May 2025 result. By SMS, Final students can get results by sending “CAFNLNEW <RollNo>” to 57575 (for the New syllabus). (For old syllabus candidates, CAFNLOLD <RollNo> would be used.)
Passing Criteria: Passing the CA Final requires 40% in each paper and 50% aggregate, either group-wise or combined. In formal terms: a candidate clears the Final if he/she scores at least 40 marks in each paper and 50% over all papers of each group. This mirrors the rule for Inter.
Pass with Distinction: A CA Final candidate who passes both groups in one sitting with 70% or more is awarded “Pass with Distinction.” ICAI explicitly states that a candidate with ≥70% in Final is considered to have passed with distinction. (For example, Shivam Mishra topped the May 2024 Final exam with 83.33%.)
Merit & Ranks: After results, ICAI publishes an All-India merit list of up to 50 top rankers. To qualify for a rank, a student must have passed both groups in one sitting, taken no exemption, and scored at least 55% aggregate. The Top 50 merit list is accessible on ICAI’s website alongside the results. Top rankers typically score high: in May 2024, the Final topper scored 83.33%, the second 80%, and the third 79.5%. These merit lists serve as motivation for future aspirants.
CA Final Result Details
The CA Final result sheet includes the candidate’s personal and exam details along with marks. It will show the name, ICAI registration number, roll number, marks obtained in each subject, total marks, percentage, and pass/fail status. If applicable, the candidate’s overall rank (for Top 50) and “Qualification Status” (e.g. “Chartered Accountant” for those who pass both groups) are also indicated.
Pass Rates (Example): CA Final pass rates are famously low. For instance, in May 2024 only 19.88% of candidates passed both groups. Group-wise that year, 27.35% cleared Group I and 36.35% cleared Group II. By comparison, in Nov 2023 only about 9.46% and 21.6% passed Groups I and II (8.33% overall). This shows how stringent the CA Final exams are.
Post-Result & Certification: If you pass both groups, you earn the CA designation. ICAI will issue a Pass Certificate within about 60 days of the result. (For example, the May 2024 Final exam saw 20,446 students become Chartered Accountants) A pass certificate is not issued for Foundation, but is issued for Inter/Final.
If a student passed only one group, they must clear the other group in the next attempt; there is no “lifetime carryover” beyond passing both groups. If a student fails a group, the next exam is typically November 2025 (form details announced shortly after results).

Details on the CA Result Scorecard
The CA result mark sheet provides a complete breakdown of your performance:
Candidate Details: Your name, ICAI registration number, roll number, and exam session.
Subject-wise Marks: Marks obtained in each paper of the exam (for Foundation: 4 papers; for Inter/Final: as per your group).
Total and Percentage: Total marks scored and overall percentage.
Result Status: “Pass” or “Fail” (and mention of “Distinction” if ≥70%).
Qualifying Status: For Final exam, often noted as “Chartered Accountant” for those who pass.
Rank (if applicable): If you are among the top 50 in CA Inter/Final, your All-India rank may be shown.
For example, the ICAI press release notes that the CA Final scorecard includes each subject score, total marks and qualification status. A sample list of fields from CA Final mark sheet is: Name, Registration No., Roll No., marks in each group, total marks, percentage, pass/fail, and (if earned) rank. Ensure all details (especially your name and marks) are correct, and contact ICAI immediately if any discrepancy is found.
CA Results: Pass Percentage and Top Scorers
Historically, CA exams have low pass rates. Here are some illustrative figures:
CA Foundation: Pass rates have often been in the teens. For example, only 14.96% of students passed the June 2024 Foundation exam. Toppers at Foundation may score around 80–90%. (ICAI no longer publicly announces detailed Foundation merit lists, but coaches report top ranks around 90%.)
CA Intermediate: In May 2024, about 18.42% of Inter candidates cleared both groups. Group pass rates were ~27.15% (Group I) and 18.28% (Group II). The top ranks in May 2024 had extremely high scores (above 85%).
CA Final: In May 2024, pass rates were similarly low. Only 19.88% of Final candidates passed both groups. Group-wise: 27.35% cleared Group I and 36.35% cleared Group II. The Final exam toppers scored in the 80–90% range (e.g. 83.33% for rank 1, 80% for rank 2 in May 2024).
Knowing these statistics can help set expectations: CA exams are challenging. When results are announced, the overall pass percentage and topper scores are often highlighted in official reports. You can use that information to gauge the difficulty and celebrate your achievement if you passed.
What After CA Result May 2025: Next Steps
1. If You Passed: First, celebrate your hard work! Then take the next steps in your CA journey:
For Foundation passers: Enroll in the CA Intermediate course and start preparing for the next exam. ICAI will open Intermediate registrations soon after results.
For Inter passers: Register for the CA Final course. If you passed both groups of Inter, apply for CA Final exam forms.
For Final passers: Congratulations, you are a CA! After passing Final, apply for ICAI membership. ICAI will mail your passing certificate within ~60 days. Then you can pursue the Certificate of Practice (COP) if desired and start your professional career.
2. If You Failed (or Partially Passed): Don’t be discouraged. Many candidates clear exams on a later attempt. Your detailed marksheet will show which papers you failed. Focus on those topics in your next study plan.
Foundation: If some subjects are failed, you can reappear in those subjects in the next session (likely November 2025). All passes carry over.
Intermediate: If you failed one group, you need only reappear in that group at the next exam (other group’s pass will be carried forward indefinitely). If both groups failed, plan to attempt both again. Inter registration remains valid for a few attempts.
Final: Similar to Inter: fail one group, reappear in that group next time; fail both, re-attempt both groups.
Result Challenges: If you believe there was an error in totaling, you can apply for verification of marks (within 30 days, fee ₹100/paper). This requests ICAI to re-add your marks. If you want detail, you can apply for certified copies of your answer books (fee ₹500/paper) – ICAI will email scanned copies for review. Apply online via the Self Service Portal.
Stay Informed: Keep checking the official ICAI website and authorized sources for any updates (e.g. announcements on grace marks, tie-ups, or future exam forms). Subscribe to ICAI alerts (email or SMS) to receive announcements automatically.

Those who didn’t pass should plan to reappear. Exemptions are not allowed beyond what you have; there is no “improvement” exam, so each level must be cleared under the current criteria.
