No other field is editable, once the form has been submitted. The form correction window also opens only once, so candidates need to be very careful in editing these fields. Once the changes are done, the form will be accepted as final and the CA Final admit card will be released accordingly.

Usually, an individual takes about 3 to 5 attempts to clear the CA Final exam. The course level is too difficult to crack in the first attempt. The overall CA Final pass percentage of any session is usually between 20-25 percent only. It is mainly due to the fact that one needs to clear both groups of the CA Final course. The vastness of CA Final syllabus makes it difficult to crack it in the first attempt.
