“FM and SM (Paper 6) lectures are very well structured — the FM numerical section is covered with solved examples for every concept. Audit was my weakest paper but ClearLevel's SA-wise notes helped me score 47, which was enough to pass. Good material overall.”

“Cleared both CA Intermediate groups in one attempt — something even my principal CA was surprised by. ClearLevel's Taxation lectures are updated right up to the Finance Act amendments. The Costing faculty breaks down complex problems into simple logical steps. This platform is the real deal.”

“Advanced Accounting (Ind AS) was giving me nightmares. After watching ClearLevel's consolidation and amalgamation sessions three times, I finally got the logic. Scored 58 in Paper 1. The faculty doesn't skip the hard parts — that's what sets this apart.”

CA Intermediate 2026 — The Level Where Most Students Slow Down

CA Intermediate is the second and arguably most demanding stage of the CA programme. Under the 2023 New Scheme, it has 6 papers split into two groups. You can attempt both groups together or one group at a time — a decision that depends on your preparation depth, not on what others are doing.

The November/December 2026 attempt is the next upcoming session. Students who have cleared CA Foundation and are currently serving Articleship can appear in CA Intermediate while completing their training — this concurrent approach is how most students manage the timeline.

Group 1 — Paper-Wise Breakdown

Paper 1 — Advanced Accounting (100 marks): Ind AS, amalgamation, consolidation, branch accounts, and financial statements of specific entities. The Ind AS shift under the new scheme makes this paper conceptually heavier than the old scheme.
Paper 2 — Corporate and Other Laws (100 marks): Companies Act 2013 (Part I) and other business laws including FEMA, Insolvency Code basics, and Securities Laws. Case-law based answers score better.
Paper 3 — Taxation (100 marks): Split between Direct Tax (Income Tax Act, ~60 marks) and Indirect Tax (GST, ~40 marks). Both sections are updated for the Finance Act 2026 in current study material.

Group 2 — Paper-Wise Breakdown

Paper 4 — Cost and Management Accounting (100 marks): Standard costing, marginal costing, budget and budgetary control, process costing, and activity-based costing. Numerical-heavy — daily practice is non-negotiable.
Paper 5 — Auditing and Ethics (100 marks): Audit planning, internal control, vouching, company audit, and professional ethics under the 2023 New Scheme. SA (Standards on Auditing) coverage is extensive.
Paper 6 — Financial Management & Strategic Management (100 marks): FM section (~60 marks) covers capital budgeting, working capital, and cost of capital. SM section (~40 marks) covers business strategy frameworks and Porter's Five Forces.

Pass Rates — Honest Numbers from November 2025

Group 1 pass rate: approximately 13–17%. Group 2 pass rate: approximately 16–21%. Taxation (Paper 3) and Audit (Paper 5) have the highest failure rates — not because they are conceptually impossible, but because students don't keep their study material current with the latest amendments.

Group Strategy: Both Together or One at a Time?

Attempting both groups together in one shot works if you have 10–12 months of dedicated preparation and are not in the thick of Articleship work. Most working Articleship students do better splitting groups across two attempts — Group 2 first (it has comparatively better pass rates) or Group 1 first if Accounts is your strength.

Frequently asked questions

Everything about CA Intermediate classes on ClearLevel

Yes, and this is the most common path. You can appear in CA Intermediate after completing 9 months of Articleship (in the new scheme). Many students appear in the November attempt of their first Articleship year. Coordinate your exam dates with your principal CA in advance.

There is no universal answer. If Accounting and Taxation are your strengths, attempt Group 1 first. If Costing and Audit interest you more, start with Group 2. Statistically, Group 2 has a slightly higher pass rate. More importantly, whichever group you study first should be your stronger one — don't hold your best group for later.

Yes. CA Intermediate Taxation is updated for Finance Act 2025 (applicable for November 2026 attempt). ClearLevel's Taxation lectures are updated every 6 months before each attempt. Always verify the applicable Finance Act year on ICAI's official announcement for your specific attempt.

If you score 60 marks or above in a paper but fail the group overall, that paper is marked as 'exempt.' You carry forward the exemption for the next two attempts. After two failed attempts, the exemption lapses and you must re-appear in that paper. Use exemptions strategically — don't bank on them as a primary strategy.

Most successful candidates spend 10–14 months preparing for both groups together, or 5–7 months per group. This is on top of Articleship obligations. Realistically, plan for 6–8 hours of study on weekdays and 10–12 hours on weekends during peak preparation months.
