Reducing straight 16 marks from the audit theory paper despite the answers being correct! Not fair ICAI! We put in months and years into our studies, just so to face unfair and unjust evaluation? This is suppose to be a Profession and not a game of luck! #dearicaipleasechange pic.twitter.com/DG3A1y88yd — Shubhnay JAIN (@shubhnayjain199) September 23, 2019
