ICAI Announces CA Intermediate September 2026 Results: Pass Percentages Rise Across All Groups

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) has officially released the results for the CA Intermediate September 2026 examination. A comparative analysis of the latest performance data reveals a positive trend, with pass percentages showing improvement across all three categories—Group 1, Group 2, and candidates appearing for both groups—when measured against the previous May 2026 session.

The most significant growth was observed in Group 1, which saw its pass rate climb to 23.14% in September, up from 10.25% in May. This represents a substantial increase of 12.89 percentage points. Similarly, candidates attempting both groups saw their success rate rise to 13.21%, compared to 8.47% in the earlier session, marking an improvement of 4.74 percentage points. Group 2 also recorded a steady rise, with the pass percentage moving from 16.11% in May to 18.92% in September.

Detailed Performance Breakdown and Statistics

The September 2026 session saw a total of 1,00,301 candidates appear for Group 1, with 23,210 successfully qualifying. In comparison, the May 2026 session had 91,237 candidates appear, with 9,350 passing. For Group 2, the September examination saw 68,400 candidates appear, resulting in 12,938 passes. This is an increase from the May session, where 10,372 candidates qualified out of 64,381 who appeared.
