I haven't received my admit card for Nov, 2007 for C.A.P.E.II exam and www.icai.nic.in site is not responding.

After clearing CPT, we have to undergo articleship under a registered CA. previously ICAI themselves used to hold allotement programmes to allote students to different MITs. According to PCC FAQ document in the ICAI.org,

“44. How to find out an MIT / a Principal? Who are eligible to train articled assistants?
Vacancies for articled assistants are available with the Regional Offices and Branch Offices of the Institute.”

What does the above excerpts mean? In which section of ICAI’s website we have to contact or the procedure is quite different? Plz advise….

PS: What things should we look (suppose we get a list of vacancies) and priotise while selecting MITs?

Case A : On September 4,2005 the company issued 12000, 7% debentures having a face value of Rs 100 each at a discount of 2.5%.

I haven't got admit card for PE-II Exam for this november.www.icai.nic.in is also not working.This is a great matter of tension among students.

A and B are partners sharing profits and losses in 3:2.Capital of both are 30k and 15 k respectively. They admitted C agreed to give 1/5th share of profits to him. How much should C bring in towards his capital? How?

Partnership accounts

Case I)
A and B are partners sharing profits in 3:2. They take C as new partner who is “supposed to bring” rs 25000 against capital and RS 10000 against goodwill. New profit sharing ratio is 1:1:1. C is able to bring RS 30000 only. How will this be treated in the books of the firm.

Case II)
A and B are partners sharing profits in 3:2. They take C as new partner who is “supposed to bring” rs 25000 against capital and RS 10000 against goodwill. New profit sharing ratio is 1:1:1. C is able to bring only his share of capital. How will this be treated in the books of the firm.

Options of both the cases are:
i)A and B will she goodwill brought by C as 4000:10000
ii) Goodwill will be raised to RS 30000 in old profit sharing ratio.
iii) Both iv) None

I am confused abt the two scenarios.
a)What is the difference btw “bring Rs X only” and “bring only his share of capital” in terms of accounting?
B) what is the answer and what is the reason behind it? Please elaborate.

In what cases do we raise(or don’t) goodwill in old profit sharing ratio, raise it in new profit sharing ratio or both ?

Myself Puneeit a Final student.

Is it a myth or reality? pls throw some light.
