The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) has declared the highly anticipated CA Foundation September 2026 exam results on November 6, 2026. Candidates who appeared for the entry-level chartered accountancy examination can now access and download their official scorecards online.
The scorecards are live on the primary verification portals, including the official ICAI result website, caresults.icai.org, and the alternative mirror site, icai.nic.in. To view their qualifying status, students must log in using their unique Roll Number alongside their Registration Number.
This session witnessed a highly competitive pool, with two candidates jointly clinching the All India Rank 1 (AIR 1). Kansika from Hisar and Mahek Gupta from Hyderabad emerged as the national toppers, both securing a phenomenal score of 90.25% (361 out of 400 marks).
Following closely behind, the All India Rank 2 (AIR 2) was also shared jointly by Sparsh Khandelwal from Ajmer and J Jayanth from Chennai, who both achieved a remarkable 89.75% (359 out of 400 marks).
According to the official data released by the ICAI, a total of 1,04,240 candidates appeared for the September 2026 session. Out of the total test-takers, 19,736 students successfully cleared the examination, bringing the overall pass percentage to 18.93%.
A gender-wise breakdown of the performance metrics reveals:
Male Candidates: Achieved a pass rate of 20.47%
Female Candidates: Recorded a pass rate of 17.32%
To clear the entry-level hurdle, candidates were required to hit a dual threshold: securing a minimum of 40% marks in each individual paper, while simultaneously maintaining a cumulative aggregate of at least 50% across all four papers (minimum 200 out of 400 marks).
Those who have successfully crossed this benchmark are now eligible to accelerate their professional journey by registering for the CA Intermediate course.
