📈 Trends & What to Expect

The 9.76% pass rate in the CA Final Group II has set a sober tone for this attempt, with many attributing the dip to the complexities of the Integrated Business Solutions (IBS) paper.

For Intermediate students, the results on March 8 will be the first major indicator of how the new syllabus is settling in. Historically, the January cycle sees a slightly more competitive environment. For Foundation students, this result is the final hurdle before entering the Intermediate stage for the May or September 2026 cycles.
