CA Inter Passing Criteria
A candidate needs to secure at least 40% marks in each paper and an aggregate of 50% in a group. Therefore, the passing mark for each CA Intermediate paper is at least 40 marks and for a group is at least 200 marks.
So, if a student has taken the papers of both groups but got more than 50% aggregate in only 1 group, then they will be declared pass in that group only and has to give the papers of the remaining group.
