The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) announces the CA Intermediate May 2026 results. Shardul Shekhar Vichare, from Maharashtra’s Dombivali, secures AIR 1 with 88.5% and scores 531 out of 600 marks, according to multiple outlets. The results cover a total of 1,53,862 candidates who appear for the May 2026 examinations held across 611 centres in India and abroad. Candidates can check their scores on the official ICAI website/portal. The reporting across outlets also notes that this outcome allows successful candidates to move forward in the CA programme by proceeding with practical training and preparing for the final examinations, though the extent and timing of next steps is not detailed beyond that general progression. Overall, the sources consistently present the top rank, the percentage and marks for the AIR 1 candidate, and the overall examination and candidate participation numbers.
