How CA Students Can Apply for Verification, Certified Copies, and RTI Requests for Answer Books

Ensuring accuracy in CA exam results is crucial, and the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) offers structured processes to help students verify their answer books, request certified copies, or obtain information through the Right to Information (RTI) Act. This guide provides a clear overview of each process, including the steps, fees, application timelines, and possible outcomes.

 


Application Options and Fees

Understanding the application options, associated fees, and timelines can streamline the process of accessing verified answer books, certified copies, or filing an RTI request.

 


Verification of Answer Books

Verification is the process of rechecking the accuracy of marks and ensuring that all questions are evaluated properly. This process is essential for CA students who want to verify the evaluation of their answer sheets to avoid discrepancies. Here’s what’s covered:

(A) Verification Process Covers:

  • Unvalued Questions: Ensures all parts of each question have been valued.
  • Totaling Errors: Confirms that the addition of marks is correct in each question and on the cover page.
  • Discrepancies: Checks for consistency between marks on each question and the cover page.
Possible Outcomes:
  • No Change in Marks
  • Increase in Marks (impacting result or exemption)
  • Increase in Marks (not impacting result or exemption)
  • Decrease in Marks

Verification results are sent to the candidate’s registered email in the ICAI Self-Service Portal (SSP).

 


Certified Copies and Inspection of Answer Books

For a deeper review of their exam performance, students can request certified copies or inspection of their evaluated answer books. This process enables CA students to analyze their answers and evaluation in detail.

  • Certified Copies: Scanned copies of the evaluated answer books are sent to the student’s registered email.
  • Internal Verification: ICAI performs an internal check under Regulation 39(4) for applications involving certified copies or inspection, ensuring accuracy before sharing the answer books.

 


RTI Applications for Answer Books

Under the Right to Information (RTI) Act, CA students can apply to access information on their answer books. This process is a useful tool for transparency, allowing students to obtain their evaluated answer copies.

  • RTI Process: Applications submitted via the RTI Government Portal are forwarded to the Central Public Information Officer (CPIO), who processes them.
  • Internal Verification Step: Similar to certified copies, ICAI verifies the answer books under Regulation 39(4) before sending scanned copies to the candidate’s registered email.

 


Conclusion

Understanding the verification, certified copies, and RTI processes enables CA students to effectively manage their applications, ensure the accuracy of their marks, and gain insights into their performance. These options empower CA students to navigate their academic journey confidently, ensuring they have the correct information and support they need to succeed in their exams.

"Koncept perfectly justifies what it sounds, i.e, your concepts are meant to be cleared if you are a Konceptian. My experience with Koncept was amazing. The most striking experience that I went through was the the way Yash sir and Ruchika ma'am taught us in the lectures, making it very interesting and lucid. Another great feature of Koncept is that you get mentor calls which I think drives you to stay motivated and be disciplined. And of course it goes without saying that Yash sir has always been like a friend to me, giving me genuine guidance whenever I was in need. So once again I want to thank Koncept Education for all their efforts."
