CA Intermediate Pass Percentage: A Real Look at the Numbers and What They Mean for You

Introduction

There’s a certain silence that falls when ICAI releases results. For some, it’s relief. For others, it’s frustrating. But whether you passed or didn’t, one thing everyone looks at-without fail-is the CA Intermediate pass percentage.
Not just out of curiosity, but because it helps make sense of the chaos. It tells you where you stand, what the general trend is, and whether your experience matched that of thousands of others who sat for the same exam.
So let’s take a proper look at the May 2025 attempt-and trace the journey backward through earlier attempts to really understand what’s happening with CA Intermediate pass percentage over the past couple of years.

What These Trends Reveal (That the Tables Don’t)

Let’s be honest. Numbers only tell part of the story. If you want the real insights, you have to read between the lines.

1. Group II is Less Intimidating-But Not a Free Pass

Yes, Group II has higher pass rates more often than not. But that doesn’t mean it’s easy. What it does suggest is that students are usually better prepared for it, or the papers are slightly more scoring (think FM).

2. Group I Carries More Weight-and Pressure

Whether it’s Accounts, Costing, or Law-Group I papers demand both conceptual clarity and practice. It’s not enough to just “know” the content. You have to be able to apply it fast and accurately.

3. Passing Both Groups Together Remains Tough

No sugarcoating this-clearing both groups in one go is a real achievement. When you see numbers like 13.22% or 5.66%, it puts into perspective what kind of effort that requires. It’s not impossible, but it takes strong planning and a calm exam temperament.

Conclusion

The CA Intermediate pass percentage doesn’t define your intelligence. It simply reflects how competitive and layered this course is. The bar is high-not to scare you, but to prepare you for the level of precision and knowledge that the profession demands.
But guess what? Every person who cleared this exam also looked at a 13% pass rate once. They weren’t sure either. They just stuck with it.
So if the numbers made you nervous-good. It means you care. Now, turn that into fuel. You still have time. And the next attempt? It could be your number in that “passed” column.
