The hashtag #dearICAIpleasechange started trending on Twitter after aspirants from all over India started updating about the protests. The CA aspirants thronged the 200 branches of ICAI all over India. They demanded to introduce a provision for revaluation of papers.

On September 21, ICAI published an announcement on its website that reads,”It has been brought to our notice that certain adverse reports relating to the system of evaluation of answer books of CA exams are doing the rounds in social media. In this connection, following reforms which have been put in place recently are brought to the attention of the stakeholders in respect of the ICAI examination system.”

The reforms include Digital evaluation, Central evaluation, Machine based evaluation, Stepwise marking and Mandatory on-line test for empanelment of examiners.

Demands of CA aspirants:

1. Re-Correction

2. Give Ques Booklet of MCQs and Disclose correct Answers while providing certified copies

3. Penalize Paper Checkers for wrong checking

4.Dark The MCQs With Pen In exams

5.Centralised Evaluation
