Missing your target score by a few marks is frustrating, but you can take control of the situation. The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India provides an official mechanism to verify your answer books. You must understand the exact procedure, timelines, and costs to avoid missing the window. </p>

Verification vs. Certified Copies 
You can apply for two distinct processes on the official ICAI self-service portal.

• Verification of Marks: This process covers checking whether all answers were valued, ensuring there are no totaling errors, and verifying that marks were carried forward correctly to the cover page. It does not involve re-evaluating the quality of your answers. 

• Supply of Certified Copies: This process gives you actual scanned copies of your evaluated answer sheets. Obtaining certified copies helps you identify specific conceptual gaps and see how examiners marked your steps. 

 Step-by-Step Application Proces

1. Log In: Visit the official examination portal at icaiexam.icai.org and log in with your credentials. 

2. Select the Application: Click on the link for verification or certified copies based on your requirement.

4. Upload Handwritten Application: You must upload a scanned copy of a handwritten request signed by you. The application must be written in the same language you used to write the exam. Typewritten requests will face rejection. 

5. Pay the Fee: Pay the required fee online through the available payment gateways.
