ICAI to take strict Action
The above cases are considered by the Examination Committee of the institute by the provisions of Regulation 41, read with Regulation 176 of the Chartered Accountants Regulations, 1988. The ICAI to take strict Action/decision taken by the Committee includes cancellation of result and restrain from appearing in the examination in future.
Given the above and to keep themselves disciplined, students are advised to download the Instructions to examinees (Students) supplied along with the admit card from the website, read them carefully & familiarise themselves with the same to avoid falling within the ambit of unfair means leading to avoidable difficulties like cancellation of result and restrain from appearing in the examination in future.
