Dear Deepali

My personal suggestion will be to go for articleship because 3 year time period is very long and it will be better to finish it off with side by side with your studies.

Have some confidence in yourself and you will be able to achieve it. Best of luck.

Lesser the priod make u better planner and if u got only 1.5 months for the preparation of second group after attending articleship u will clear the examination. Make sure that u always read while u will in artcileship at least 2-3 hr daily.

The important fact is the present value of ur opportunity cost after becoming CA early by 6 months is much important then to become CA latest by 6 months.

And i m sure that if u will go for examination preparation first then u must going for loosing opprtunity cost that might u may gain to becomying CA as early by saving time.

Dear Deepali, Many suffer from the same confusion that wthr to start articlship or not after clearing 1st grp. Starting your articlship is the best suggestion but make sure that at the same time to do regular study for 2 nd group. If you wait for exam time preparation then there are chances that you may have to face problems. So , start your articlesip and side by side prepare for 2 nd group.
