Is change required in CA course structure

With Due respect to others opinion , i dont think there is any change required in ICAI curriculam..introduction of GMCS is an excellent step by ICAI.

Only change required is in CA students due to large number of student opting for CA they themselve are scared...we are far far far ahead of MBA's in Knowledge, 

which company wud prefer an MBA ahead of CA when its comes to finance , TAX. MBA's are  selected as an cheap alternative only.( i know how much MBA's are paid only when they are from IIM or FMS only...))

We need to change our atttude and be confident..

I know i am a lot better than MBA even if i haven't cleared Final( till now :P)...be confident..attitude changes everything my friend.

ther is a change in syllabus every day 

better to go with it

yes. there is a need for change in ca course structure. there should be four levels of exams. 1st :CPT, 2nd: like pcc/ipcc but only 4 subject (which will be help ful in articleship training) 2.5 years article trainiung, afer training 3rd exam only with those subject which will be helpful for doing industrial training in corporates (including some mba subjects) then 1 year compulsory industril training in corporates then immidiately 4th exam CA Final .  with four levels students burden will be less , because subjects are divided. in third exam  with mba subjects students wil get interest in subjects & study. and here also they get practical knowledge in management before industrial training . in whole ca ctructure there should be a subject of economics.

Industrial training should be made compulsory during the last year of articleship. And orientation programmes can be made compulsory once in every year during articleship. Because the current programmes are so short in duration that make hardly any difference.

articleship period should be reduced to 1 year

or else i should be after ca finals only

odrwise its a sheer time waste

wastin ur life jus to realise ur not a CA

n articleship in firms should be alloted on merit basis as is the case for allotin colleges in AIEEE

no reference thing coz it plays a major role in makin one a GOOD CA

I agree with Apudi on the matter that articleship period should be reduced to 18 months or 2 years. Because during that period, preparing for the exams with the tuitions is very very tough. And it is one of the causes that students prefer dummy articleship than having practical experience.

And I have seen a number of qualified CAs who don't have practical knowledge though they have completed their articleships.
