ICAI CA Foundation September 2026 Results Out: Pass Percentage Stands at 18.93 Percent

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India announced the CA Foundation September 2026 examination results on November 6, recording an overall pass percentage of 18.93 percent. Candidates who sat for the September session can now access their subject-wise scorecards across official institute portals, primarily through caresults.icai.org.

The declaration of the latest ICAI results completes the evaluation process for the entry-level chartered accountancy test. Candidates require their assigned roll number alongside their registration number to log in, view individual paper marks, and save their official scorecards.

What the 18.93 percent pass percentage reveals

The 18.93 percent qualifying rate highlights the strict evaluation standard set by the institute for entry into the professional program. Out of every 100 candidates who appeared for the September examination session, fewer than 19 successfully secured the minimum marks necessary across all papers to clear the foundation tier.

For instance, in a hall of 500 test-takers, roughly 95 candidates managed to pass, leaving over 400 students needing to re-appear in a subsequent examination cycle. Candidates must clear each individual paper while achieving the required aggregate threshold across the entire foundation suite to earn their pass status.

The pass percentage reflects the filtering process established by the institute to ensure that candidates moving forward to the CA Intermediate level hold a consistent baseline in accounting principles, business laws, quantitative aptitude, and economics.

Where to access scorecards and toppers lists

The institute activated multiple online links on November 6 to manage traffic from thousands of test-takers checking their marks simultaneously. Candidates can access their scorecards, aggregate totals, and qualifying status on three primary domains maintained by the authority:

• caresults.icai.org
• icai.org
• icai.nic.in/caresult

Along with individual scorecards, the institute published the official merit list PDF and toppers list on caresults.icai.org. The merit document highlights the top-ranking candidates nationally for the September 2026 examination cycle, detailing their total scores and roll numbers.

How candidates can download their result PDF

Checking the September session scorecard involves a straightforward digital verification sequence through the official result portal. Candidates should keep their admit card or enrollment paperwork ready to avoid login errors.

1. Open the browser and navigate to caresults.icai.org or icai.org.
2. Click on the active link labeled ‘CA Foundation September 2026 Result’.
3. Enter your registered roll number and registration number into the specified fields.
4. Click the ‘Submit’ button to load the detailed scorecard.
5. Verify the personal details, subject-by-subject breakdown, and final result status printed on the screen.

Candidates who have cleared the foundation exam become eligible to register for the CA Intermediate course, while those who fell short can apply for mark verification or prepare for the next scheduled examination cycle conducted by the institute.
