03 May 2012 Hi

GMCS Course: To equip entrants to the profession with some essential skills, it has now been decided that Articled Assistants joining Articled training on or after 1st May, 2012, shall have to undergo the GMCS Course twice during the period of training for 15 days each – once during 1st year of articled training and second during last one and a half years (i.e. between 19th and 36th month of Practical Training). Keeping in view the requirements of Indian Industry, the course content for the two phases of the GMCS Course has been comprehensively revised to make it more useful and informative.

No, it is done during the course of articleship. First will be between 1st and 18th month of practical training and second will be between 19th and 36th month of Practical Training.

Regards
