The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India declared the CA Foundation exam results for September 2026 on Friday, 6 November. A total of 19,736 students passed, yielding a pass percentage of 18.93%. Girls dominated the top slots.
Kansika of Hisar, Haryana, and Mehak Gupta of Hyderabad jointly topped with 361 marks out of 400, scoring 90.25%. Sparsh Khandelwal of Ajmer and J Jayant of Chennai jointly secured second place with 359 marks (89.75%). Vaibhavi Singhal of Gwalior came third with 358 marks (89.50%).
Of the 19,736 successful candidates out of a very large pool, fewer than one in five cleared the CA Foundation exam this September. The 18.93% pass rate will sharpen the focus on how the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India sets the bar for entry into the profession. The joint all-India toppers from Hisar and Hyderabad, both girls, along with the second and third rank holders from Ajmer, Chennai and Gwalior, show a national spread of high achievers. The result itself answers no question about the exam's difficulty or pass standards, but it does set a benchmark for the next cycle.
