Since Foundation is the first level of the Chartered Accountancy course, the difficulty level of CA Foundation papers is often easy to moderate compared to Intermediate and Final levels. But CA Foundation is a challenging course in itself. Just 25% of test takers in the CA Foundation in December 2022 were able to pass the exam. A significant portion of applicants retake the test. Even with a 40% overall passing percentage, the Chartered Accountancy course is challenging. As a result, enrolling in a coaching programme is crucial if you want to pursue a CA degree. For this course, self-study is not sufficient.
