CA Inter September 2026: Key Dates at a Glance

CA Inter September 2026 Result Analysis

ICAI publishes the official pass percentage and topper list along with the result. Until then, the May 2026 attempt is the best benchmark.

Three points stand out from these numbers:

• Both-group passing is the hardest. Clearing both groups in one attempt had the lowest success rate, at 8.47% in May 2026.

• Group II did better than Group I. Group II had the higher pass percentage in May.

• The application-based format is tough. Answers that tested concepts and application were rewarded, and answers based on memorising were not.

If there is no change in the pattern of the question paper or method of evaluation, then the September pass percentages will remain in single digits or in the teens, as was seen in the previous attempts. The pass percentage for the both-group examination will be under 15%. This is an estimation based on the trend and not an official figure.

The official figures from ICAI will supersede this estimate when the result is released.
