06 February 2013 Hi Sir,
Thanks a lot for solving my problems. But the main problem which I am facing is that as mentioned in Relaxation rule that ITT can be completed up to 31st may which I can do, but what about orientation . Does this rule applies for orientation as well. Bcoz If I will do oreintation now and then articleship then I will not be able to complete 9 months for november attempt. Can orientation be done during articleship side by side till 31st may.

01 August 2024 Here's how to navigate the situation based on the guidelines for IPCC and articleship:

### Key Points:

1. **Orientation and ITT Completion:**
- **Orientation:** As per the rules, the Orientation Course should be completed before starting your articleship. If you’ve started your articleship without completing the Orientation, it is necessary to complete it as soon as possible. However, if you haven’t completed the Orientation, you should inform your articleship firm and ICAI about the situation.
- **ITT:** The ITT (Information Technology Training) can be completed up to 31st May, as per the relaxation rules, and does not affect your articleship start date.

2. **9-Month Articleship Requirement:**
- For appearing in the November 2013 attempt, you generally need to complete 9 months of articleship by the date of the exam. This rule ensures you fulfill the practical training requirements for appearing in the exams.

3. **Flexibility and Relaxation Rules:**
- **For May 2013 Exams:** The relaxation allowed Orientation and ITT completion up to 31st March for those appearing in May 2013 exams.
- **For November 2013 Exams:** If there is no explicit relaxation for the November attempt in the rules you’ve seen, it’s likely the general requirement applies.

### Steps to Take:

1. **Complete the Orientation Course:**
- **Immediate Action:** Since you’ve started your articleship, complete the Orientation Course as soon as possible. Contact ICAI or the nearest regional office for guidance on how to proceed with the Orientation course.

2. **Verify with ICAI:**
- **Clarify Rules:** Contact ICAI directly to confirm if there are any exceptions or if the relaxation for ITT applies similarly to Orientation for the November attempt. This will ensure you have the correct information.

3. **Manage Articleship Duration:**
- **Align with Exam Requirements:** To ensure you meet the 9-month articleship requirement for November exams, you might need to extend your articleship period. Discuss this with your articleship firm and seek guidance from ICAI on how to manage this.

### Contact Information:

- **ICAI Regional Office:** Reach out to your regional ICAI office for personalized guidance. They can provide specific instructions and confirm any relaxation or exceptions applicable to your situation.

- **ICAI Helpline:** Use the ICAI helpline or official website to get accurate and updated information.

By addressing these points and seeking clarification from ICAI, you can better align your studies and articleship with the requirements for your IPCC attempt.
