💡 Expert Tip

Two critical points most candidates miss: First, the Preliminary Exam carries a negative marking of 0.25 marks per wrong answer — it is NOT safe to guess randomly. However, since Prelim marks are NOT counted in the final merit list (only Main Exam marks matter), your Prelim strategy should be purely about crossing the 40% qualifying threshold safely. Second, the educational qualification cutoff is now 30/06/2026 (extended via Amendment-2), meaning candidates whose graduation results are declared by that date are eligible for the Preliminary Exam. However, proof of passing must be produced at the time of Main Exam application — without it, you will be barred from the Main Exam regardless of Prelim performance. Also, B.Sc (CA & IT) and M.Sc (CA & IT) degree holders are explicitly NOT eligible — confirm your degree code before applying.
