About the CA Intermediate exam
The second level of the Chartered Accountancy course. Passing it allows students to begin practical training (articleship).
What these mocks cover
There are 20 full sets covering the MCQ sections of all six papers. They include Accounting Standards, the Companies Act, 2013, GST and income-tax concepts, cost and FM numericals, Standards on Auditing and strategic management. Each paper also has its own topic tests.
The descriptive section (70 marks per paper) is not included here.
Numerical accounting, cost and financial-management problems are generated fresh for each mock, so they never repeat. Standards, sections and concept questions come from curated, verified pools. Once a pool is used up its questions can come back in later mocks, but a question never appears twice in the same mock. Tax questions stick to stable concepts and section numbers rather than rates and slabs that change each year.

CA Intermediate has six papers in two groups. Group I: Advanced Accounting, Corporate & Other Laws, and Taxation. Group II: Cost & Management Accounting, Auditing & Ethics, and Financial Management & Strategic Management. Each paper carries 100 marks and lasts 3 hours: 30 marks of MCQs (often case-scenario based) and 70 marks of descriptive questions. These mocks practise the MCQ section only, 15 questions of 2 marks per paper, with no negative marking. Practise the descriptive 70 marks with ICAI's study material and RTPs/MTPs. Numerical accounting, cost and financial-management problems are generated fresh for each mock, so they never repeat. Standards, sections and concept questions come from curated, verified pools. Once a pool is used up its questions can come back in later mocks, but a question never appears twice in the same mock. Tax questions stick to stable concepts and section numbers rather than rates and slabs that change each year.
Duration: 3 hours (MCQ sections of all six papers).
