Ca final afm paper
Yesterday I went on an audit and met with a CA who is also an examiner (checks copies) he used to check the ibs papers but then he needed to score 18 out of 25 on an exam to do so which he couldn't score he got stuck at 17 so he gave the exam for afm where he scored 22 and this time he is correcting afm exam paper he told us that the answer booklet genrally is sent to them 2 days after the exam but this time for the afm papaer they were sent the answer book on 19th and the answers has multiple variation so each question has like 4 different correct answers and the policy that they got was if the student has given any ine of the alternates he shall be marked full also he said that there were 2 seminars for the correctors conducted on yesterday and one today to tell them how to score the answer sheets.
So I guess since the paper was so difficult and there was a lot of backlash icai has resorted to a very lenient marking scheme this time at least for that particular subject.
Ignore the tag though this is first hand information.
