NEW DELHI : Chartered accountancy (CA) students who have been protesting against the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) demanding a re-evaluation of their answer sheets have found support from Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.
"Across India 12 lakh CA students are fighting for their right to have their exam papers re-evaluated by ICAI. Given the widespread reports of errors in the evaluation of answer sheets, this demand is justified and should be supported by all political parties," Rahul Gandhi tweeted using the hashtag "#dearicaiplschange".

CA students have claimed that their answer sheets were not evaluated properly as the institute deliberately tampered with the results in the second and third stages to suit its passing percentage. A section of CA students have been sitting on an agitation outside ICAI's Delhi office since this Monday.
Rahul Gandhi has become one of the first prominent leaders to come out in open support of the protesting students.
Last three days protest by thousands of CA students for re-evaluating their answersheet should have woken up ICAI and the Govt. Sadly it's not so. NSUI is with the agitating students. And demands urgent steps to allay their fears. #dearicaiplschange

"We are protesting against the moderation of the results in the exams held by the ICAI. Candidates are not given marks even in the multiple-choice questions (MCQ). This is done under Section 39 of the CA Regulation which gives ICAI the right to manipulate marks in order to maintain their passing ratio," Tarun Choudhary, a student at the protest told ANI here.
Choudhary further alleged that the institute acting on its whim was not awarding full marks to students even in the MCQ segment.
