Subject-Wise Marks Breakdown of CA Final May 2026 Topper
ICAI publishes subject-wise marks of the top three rank holders after result declaration. The CA Final May 2026 exam under the new scheme has eight papers across two groups, each carrying 100 marks.
| Group | Paper | Subject | Max Marks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Group I | Paper 1 | Financial Reporting (FR) | 100 |
| Paper 2 | Advanced Financial Management (AFM) | 100 | |
| Paper 3 | Advanced Auditing, Assurance and Professional Ethics (AAAPE) | 100 | |
| Paper 4 | Corporate and Economic Laws (CEL) | 100 | |
| Group II | Paper 5 | Strategic Cost Management and Performance Evaluation (SCMPE) | 100 |
| Paper 6 | Integrated Business Solutions (IBS) | 100 | |
| Paper 7 | Direct Tax Laws and International Taxation (DT) | 100 | |
| Paper 8 | Indirect Tax Laws (IDT) | 100 | |
| Total | All 8 Papers | 800 | |
Toppers consistently score 70 marks or above in most papers. FR and DT are traditionally high-scoring papers for well-prepared students. IBS under Group II is application-based and top rankers often cross 75 in this paper. Consistent performance across all eight papers rather than excelling in select subjects is what defines AIR 1 toppers. Clearing both groups in a single attempt is mandatory for an overall rank.

Previous Year CA Final Topper Marks Comparison
Comparing previous year scores gives students a benchmark for All India rankings. Based on historical trends, AIR 1 holders typically score between 560 and 630 out of 800. The table below shows approximate AIR 1 scores from recent attempts.
| CA Final Attempt | AIR 1 Total Marks (out of 800, approx.) | Approx. Percentage |

| November 2024 | ~585 to 605 | ~73 to 75% |
| May 2024 | ~570 to 595 | ~71 to 74% |
