Yes I think ICAP will continue to 'hold back' if the need be by not only 'hiking' the passing crietria but also making it difficult via more complicated material in exams. The facts that more talented people are coming in for CA is true, it is also true that pass percentages have improved but is in no way proportional to the quality or quanity of intake. You have 250 people qualifying in one attempt followed by just 75 in the next. I refuse to admit that the 'quality' of students appearing in the very next attempt could detoriate at such a rate.
Having said that, some dilution in the intake process has taken place viz ACCA, CIMA and other professional qualifications which are now accesable in Pakistan.
Pakistani CA's worth has detoriated over the years, especially at the intake level but I don't see it hitting ock bottom like IT or MBA. because in that case the 'quality' of the product was never under control. Same goes for Engineers and General Physicians.
"Allah does not change the state of people unless they change what is within themselves" Quran 1311
