Articleship firms

many of my friends are looking for articleship firms in bangalore but there are no vacancy. even the passed students are staying idle. i doubt that the fresh passing students for november exam will be able to register themselves as a article in ca firm. is this problem faced by only bangalore students???? or any other places too??? is icai blind?? how can they let bcom passed students join articleship directly when  ipcc passed students are struggling to get the firms???/
