QuintEdge Research · named results, verified — no institute rate
ACCA publishes global pass rates for every paper after each sitting — that official data is below. What you won't find here is a "QuintEdge ACCA pass rate": in line with ACCA's guidance for tuition providers, QuintEdge does not advertise an institute pass rate for ACCA. Outcomes are published the verifiable way instead — as named student results.

Why QuintEdge Doesn't Publish an ACCA Pass Rate
Two reasons, stated plainly. First, ACCA's guidance for tuition providers does not permit institutes to advertise pass rates — so QuintEdge doesn't, anywhere on this site. Second, QuintEdge's ACCA results wall is a partial listing (many students' results are not published), so it could not serve as a verifiable cohort numerator even if a rate were permitted. The honest alternative is the one you can check: individual named results, each backed by an official score document before it is listed — the same verification standard used in the CFA and FRM briefs.
ACCA Exams in India: 2026 Practicalities
Two things Indian ACCA students should know this year. Remote exams were withdrawn for India from the March 2026 session — session papers are now centre-based. And on-demand computer-based exams cover only BT, MA, FA and LW, taken at licensed CBE centres; every other paper follows the quarterly sitting calendar (March/June/September/December).
