Frequently Asked
Questions by students regarding Exemption in any Paper
1. If Mr. A gets the marks in module I of CS Executive as follows:
Taxation : 62, Cost &
Management A/c: 55, ECL: 58, Company Law: 28, what will be points regarding
exemption?
Ans. In this case, Mr. A shall be
exempted from appearing in Taxation exams in the further exams.
2. Whether in the
above example, Mr. A will be required to get remaining marks to get through the
exams i.e 200-62 = 138?
Ans. My answer is no, in the remaining papers, he will have
to get at least 50 marks in each paper, for example if he gets 40 marks in
costing, 52 marks in ECL and 46 marks in company law, now he has acquired total
– 62+40+52+46 = 200 marks but he will be considered fail, because he has to get
at least 50 marks in the remaining papers.
3. Suppose in the question no. 1, Mr. A got 24 marks in
company law, then would the answer in 1 will remain same?
Ans. No, he will not get any exemption, because to avail exemption,
student must get at least 25 marks in the remaining papers, but he got 24 marks
in company law, his exemption will lapse and will have to appear in entire
group in the next exams.
Both Modules
To get pass in the both modules, student must get at least
40 marks in each paper, and 50% marks in aggregate in both modules.
Different Situations
when appeared in both groups simultaneously
1. Marks in 1st
Module – 40+50+50+60 = 200, Marks in Module – II – 58 + 52, 40 = 150
Ans: Aggregate is 350 i.e 50%, and minimum marks in each
paper is 40, so answer is pass.
2. Marks in 1st
Module – 40+50+50+58 = 198, Marks in Module – II – 58 + 52, 42 = 152
Ans. Aggregate is 350 i.e 50%, and minimum marks in each
paper is 40, so answer is pass. Noteworthy point in this case is that the
student has got only 198 marks in module I , but has made up the deficiency of
2 marks from 2nd Module by getting 152 marks, This is greatest
benefit of appearing in both modules.
3. Marks in 1st
Module – 40+50+50+58 = 198, Marks in Module – II – 62 + 52, 38 = 152
Ans. Student is fail in both modules, even if he has got
total 350 i.e 50% in aggregate, because he has got 38 marks in one paper of
module II, he failed in IInd Module due to that benefit of 2 marks could not be
transferred to module I.
CS PROFESSIONAL
PROGRAM
Single Module
1. Marks – 40+50+60= 150
Ans. Student is pass.
2. Marks – 40+38+72 = 150
Ans. Fail, but exemption in third paper, now student will
have to appear in only first two papers but will have to get at least 50 marks
in both of these papers.
Two Modules
1. Module - I, Marks –
40+50+60 = 150 Marks, Module II – 40+50+58 = 148 Marks
Ans: Pass in first module but fail in second module.
2. Module - I, Marks –
40+50+62 = 152 Marks, Module II – 40+50+58 = 148 Marks
Ans. Pass in first module but fail in second module,
Noteworthy point is that aggregate becomes 50% marks, but benefit of extra
marks is transferred only if students appears in all the three modules.
All Three Groups
1. Module -
I, Marks – 40+50+62 = 152 Marks, Module II – 40+50+58 = 148 Marks,
Module – III – 40+50+60 = 150
Ans. Student is pass in all groups , since he has got 40%
marks in each paper and 50% in aggregate, in this case, benefit of extra 2
marks in module I is transferred to Module II, so student has been able to pass
the exams. This is the major benefit of appearing in all modules.
2. Module - I, Marks –
40+50+62 = 152 Marks, Module II – 40+50+58 = 148 Marks, Module – III – 38+50+62
= 150
Ans. Pass in only Module I, Fail in Module II & III,
since he is unable to get at least 40 marks in each paper, he got 38 marks in 1st
paper of Module III, he failed in IIIrd Module, so his benefit of 2 marks in
Module I will not be transferred to Module II. Now he will have to avail at
least 50 marks in remaining two papers in Module III & aggregate 50% marks
in module II in the next Exams.
