Leave a paper blank if you did not write it. Carrying an exemption from an earlier exam? This calculator doesn't cover that: see the rules. Your marks stay on your phone; we don't save them.

How the CS Executive result works

You clear a group with at least 40 marks in each paper and 50% of the group's total: 200 out of 400 in Group 1 (four papers) and 150 out of 300 in Group 2 (three papers). Writing both groups together, 40 or more in all seven papers and 350 out of 700 clears both.

If you fail a group after writing all its papers, there are two routes to an exemption. Condition I: a paper with 60 or more is exempt when you scored at least 25 in each of the group's other papers; next time you write the rest, needing 40 in each and 50% of their own total, as the exempt marks don't count. Condition II: when only one paper is under 40 and the others together score 60% or more, all the others are exempt and you rewrite just that paper, needing 50.

ICSI's regulation does not fix a number of attempts for this exemption; check your result statement. Writing an exempt paper again cancels the exemption, and under Condition II that cancels all of them. A pass with distinction needs 60 or more in every paper and 70% overall at one sitting, with no exemption.

Example: Group 1 at 62, 58, 60 and 35. Paper 4 is under 40, so the group is not cleared, but the other three total 180, which is 60% of 300: under Condition II they are exempt, and next time Paper 4 alone needs 50. Condition I would instead exempt Papers 1 and 3 and leave Papers 2 and 4 to write.
