The long wait for nearly 1 lakh aspirants preparing to become chartered accountants is about to conclude very soon. The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India is expected to announce the results for the CA Foundation September 2026 examinations at any moment on icai.org. Following the declaration of the CA Intermediate results on October 22, candidates enrolled in the foundation course have been eagerly awaiting their scorecards.
Examination Schedule and Expected Result Timeline
The CA Foundation exams were conducted on September 2, 5, 7, and 9, 2026, across various exam centers nationwide through a pen-and-paper mode. While the institute has not yet made an official announcement regarding the exact date and time for the result release, current trends and media projections suggest that the CA Foundation 2026 results are likely to be declared by October 31. Candidates who appeared for the September 2026 examination are advised to keep a close watch on the official website.
Result Pattern Following Intermediate Examinations
Looking at past trends of the institute, the foundation results are typically published within a few days of the CA Intermediate exam outcome. The results for both groups of the intermediate exams were released on October 22, where Group 1 recorded a pass percentage of 23.14% and Group 2 registered 18.92%. Based on this pattern, it is anticipated that the foundation results could drop anytime by October 31, 2026. Aspirants are strongly advised to rely only on official notifications rather than rumors circulating on social media.
Steps to Check the CA Foundation Results
As soon as the results are declared, web traffic surges heavily, slowing down portal access. To check the scorecard smoothly without facing technical issues, candidates should follow a few simple steps. Visit the official websites at caresults.icai.org, icai.nic.in, or icai.org, and select the designated link for the CA Foundation September 2026 Result visible on the homepage. Enter the 6-digit roll number, registration number or PIN, along with the captcha code. After entering the details, click the submit button to view the scorecard on the screen, which should be downloaded and printed for future reference.
Details to Verify on the Scorecard
Often candidates merely check their pass or fail status as soon as the results are out. However, it is equally important to thoroughly inspect other details printed on the scorecard. Carefully cross-check the information on the digital marksheet to ensure everything is accurate. If any discrepancy or error regarding names or marks is spotted, candidates must immediately reach out to the institute through its helpline or email to get it corrected in a timely manner.
Next Steps After the Result Announcement
For those who successfully clear the examination, it is time to immediately begin planning strategies and registration for the next milestone, which is the CA Intermediate course. On the other hand, if scores do not meet expectations, candidates should not lose heart as they can immediately apply for the verification of marks or request certified copies of their answer books.
