Right behind him are Sneha Sharma from Mumbai and Karthik Reddy from Hyderabad, who secured the second and third ranks, respectively. These top performers credited their success to regular hard work, good time management, and strong support from their teachers and families.
“I always trusted in being disciplined and using smart study methods,” said Rohit Mehta during an interview. His journey, like many others, motivates CA candidates who are preparing to tackle one of the most challenging exams in the country.
Pass Percentage and Insights
Out of the 125,000 students who took the CA Final exams in November 2024, 24,000 passed both groups. The pass rate of 19.2% is slightly higher than in past years, showing that students are better prepared and have access to improved guidance.
ICAI President Aniket Talati said, “The rising success rate shows the quality of education and resources we offer. We congratulate all the successful candidates and welcome them to the respected profession of chartered accountancy.”
Challenges and Triumphs
Passing the CA Final exam is not easy. It requires hard work, concentration, and the ability to keep going even when things get tough. For many students, this journey involves giving up a lot, studying for long hours, and fighting against doubts about themselves.
Sneha Sharma, who came in second place, said, “There were times when I wanted to quit, but my family’s encouragement and my own willpower helped me push through. Now, it all feels like it was worth it.”
The results also showed inspiring stories of people who didn’t give up. Many candidates passed the exam after trying several times, proving that failing doesn’t mean it’s over—it’s just a step toward achieving success.
Future Prospects
Newly certified chartered accountants now have many exciting opportunities ahead. They can work in finance and auditing roles at big companies or even start their own businesses. The future looks bright for CAs. Top companies, including the Big Four, are already looking to hire these new professionals.
The ICAI has also organized job placement events for those who passed the exams. This helps them start their careers with good job opportunities.
While many celebrate their success, results day can also bring disappointment for those who didn’t succeed this time. Experts suggest these individuals should rethink their plans, learn from their errors, and get ready for their next try with fresh energy.
As the nation cheers for its future financial leaders, the CA Final results highlight the strength, determination, and talent of India’s young people. For those who passed, this is the start of an exciting new phase in their careers. For others, it’s a reminder that the road to success isn’t always straight but is always worth it.
