What is "A" in ICMAP?

[Greatkhans]

There is a general impression amongst the public and the students that ICMAP deliberately fails competent students. I don’t know how true this is, but I know that ICMAP passes students who secure “A”. What is “A” is unknown. Most CMAs told me that “A” is decided based on economic situation in the country which provides bases to NC of ICMAP that how many number of CMA should pass in each exam. Here still a question arises, how they decide the economy need as many CMAs? Is there any scientific formula for that? If yes, why it is not made public to make the policy transparent or is it just the best judgment of the NC of ICMAP. This situation is causing a high dropout rate. It looks that acquiring the designation is more based on once luck than hardworking. In other institutes around the world anyone who secures required mark is passed no matter how economy is behaving. I wrote many e-mail followed by many reminders to ICMAP on the issue which are still not responded. Does anyone has information about that?
