How to Check Your Result
The steps are the same as for the Inter result. Keep your numbers ready before the result goes live.
- Open caresults.icai.org
- Enter your registration number and roll number
- Submit and view your marks
- Download the marksheet and save a copy
The site can be slow in the first hours after a result goes live. If it does not load, wait a few minutes and try again.
Passing Marks for CA Foundation
You must score at least 40% in each paper and 50% in aggregate across all four papers. Scoring 50% overall does not help if any single paper is below 40%.
Check your marks paper by paper before you decide what comes next.
How Past Foundation Results Looked
These figures come from ICAI’s own release for September 2025 and from news reports for May 2026. They show how the pass rate moves from one attempt to the next.
| Session | Appeared | Passed | Pass percentage |
|---|---|---|---|
| September 2025 (declared 3 November 2025) | 98,827 | 14,609 | 14.78% |
| May 2026 (reported 3 July 2026) | 90,217 | 18,124 | 20.09% |
News reports also put the January 2026 Foundation pass rate at 19.23%. The September 2025 topper was L Rajalakshmi of Chennai with 360 marks (90%). The pass rate has stayed between roughly 15% and 20% in the last three attempts, so no one should assume the result in advance.
