CA Anupam Sharma has, in reply to the tweet, opined that, “if ICAI does then it must pass from the council and exam committee. It is correct in my view, but until it is approved by the Council and exam committee, it cannot be implemented. As of now, it is not part of the Council meeting's agenda.”

Chartered Accountancy student Ayush has also replied to the tweet on X, saying that, “Fir to audit,Law jaisi subject m maximum students fail ho jaenge result aadha ho jaega, sabse jyada mushkil Hindi medium students ko aaegi jo Audit jaisi subject me MCQ ke basis par pass hote h. Last time mere law m 53 marks aae the jisme 28 MCQ and 25 descrative m fir bhi fail?”
