CA paper leaked at Mumbai College, national test put off

CA exam has been pushed back as the wrong question paper was given out in a city college of Mumbai  on Monday afternoon.

The Information Technology and Strategic Management paper, which was to be held on Wednesday, has been rescheduled for May 24 as one exam centre at Mittal College, Malad, inadvertently gave it out to candidates on Monday instead of the Auditing and Assurance paper.

Close to 1.37 lakh students are taking the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India's (ICAI) Intermediate (Integrated Professional Competence) Course.

The college authorities informed the ICAI about the faux pas, which directed the college to go back to the bank and collect the correct question paper so that Monday's exam could be conducted.

The exam supervisor made a dash to the bank, picked up the right paper bundle and the question books were distributed to student at 2.45pm, following which the exam began at 3pm, an hour later than the scheduled time.
