ICAI goofs up CA exam papers!!!!

Well friends i thought our Institute will get atleast this right...but they seem to want to prove me wrong!! Some major goof ups in the recently held CA exams... here they go:
1. The Hindi language Costing paper of IPCC had to be ' re- held ' because the original paper said
" Please attempt any 5 questions " , while the English language Costing paper of IPCC did not have any options!!!!! Even better or worse for students ( will vary from student to student ), the ' Any 5 questions ' in Hindi did not add upto more than 70 marks!!! Shocking that an examination paper in a professional exam like CA would contain such elementary mathematical errors!!!!!!! Can someone in ICAI tell us who was the PROOF READER??????
2. The Costing Hindi paper story does not end there......it now gets a little serious. The ' re-exam ' of Hindi Costing paper contained 3 questions that were absolutely the same ( repeat, carbon copy..whatever you may want to call ) as the original paper!!!!!! No word, no figure changed!!!! Except the marks...the 3 questions carried a little over 20 marks weightage in orginal paper while in the ' re-exam ' it carried a weightage of 13 marks!!!
Am quite sure everyone would now want to know the name of the person who set this question paper!!!

  2. ICAI Examination Comm should roll their sleeves and get serious about this issue...or existing CA's can be sure of loosing their credibility.
