Did you complain in writing immediately after your paper and if so did you
get a written apolagy or something else from the Institute.

Subject: [AI] ICAI-Procedure for availing Writer’s help and extra time.
hello c.a. aspirants,
as per my knowledge, the slab according to which extra time is
provided is as follows-
40-60% disability = 10 mins per hour
60-80% disability = 20 mins per hour
80-100% disability = 30 mins per hour
but i want to divert your mind towards the other side of this issue as
well. getting permission for sufficient extra time is important but
getting its benefit awailed is too important. there are cases where
the examination center has denied to provide extra time even when you
have the permission letter for the same. i, myself, is one such
victim. i was not provided extra time for my 2 papers during pcc exams
may 2010 which ultimately led to my failure. just think that you go
with the mind set of 4 1/2 hour paper but you are provided just 3
hour.
similar case is identified in lucknow where the vi candidate was
denied for the same during cpt june 2010 attempt.
so please take care of this as well. try to find the remedies for it
before so that such things do not happen with anyone.

Hello all C.A. aspirants,
Please note that the amount of extra time available to VI (with more than
50% disability) in C.A. exams is 30 minutes per 1 hour of paper. Thus if
you
are appearing for PCC/IPCC/final exam, you will be entitled to 1.5 hours
of
extra time. Similarly, for CPT you will be allowed 1 hour of extra time (I
think the exam duration is 2 hours). Thus, the procedure for availing
writer
and extra time has changed to that extent. However, the change is not
disclosed on the ICAI website and it still talks about allowing 30 minutes
to 1 hour.
Please be very alert of this facts as the ICAI is completely careless in
allowing extra time to students. In fact, the actual time allowed in
different cases ranges from 30 minutes to 1.5 hours for a 3 hours paper
without adequate grounds for the same. I myself have been a victim of such
careless practices and hope that others will not have to go through the
same.
For those interested in further details, feel free to contact me offline.
You can also email your requests to Milan Mittal marked in cc to this
mail.
He was, by grace of God, allowed 1.5 hours of extra time for IPCC exam in
May 2010. For your easy reference, his email id is milan.mit...@yahoo.com

Apoorv Kulkarni
