Cost and Works Accountants Act, 1959
46. Scheme of Management Accountancy Examination
(1) The Management Accountancy Examination shall comprise two
Parts, viz., Part I and Part II and a candidate shall be deemed to have passed
the Management Accountancy Examination when he has qualified in both Parts I
and II. Part I of the Management Accountancy Examination shall consist of two
Groups, viz., Group I of 200 marks and Group II of 300 marks. A candidate shall
ordinarily be declared to have passed in a Group of Part I, if he obtains at
one sitting a minimum of 50 per cent of the total marks in each paper and in
aggregate 55 per cent of the total marks of all the papers in that Group. The
Council may however vary the minimum pass marks at its discretion for all the
examinations.
(2) No candidate shall be admitted to Part II of the Management
Accountancy Examination unless he has passed Part I of the said examination.
Part II of the examination shall comprise submission of a Thesis of 200 marks
and a Viva-Voce Test of 100 marks. A candidate shall be declared to have passed
in Part II of the examination if he obtains a minimum of 50 per cent of the
total marks in the Thesis and a minimum of 50 per cent marks in the Viva-Voce
Test. Failure to obtain the minimum pass marks either in the Thesis or in the
Viva-Voce Test will necessitate re-submission of the Thesis with modifications
and improvements made therein or of another Thesis followed in either case by a
Viva-Voce Test as prescribed in this Chapter.
(3) A candidate who has passed in Group I or in Group II of the
Management Accountancy Examination prior to April 1974 after being examined
under the syllabus then in force shall not be required to pass in Group I or in
Group II, as the case may be, of Part I of the Management Accountancy
Examination to be held after April 1974.
