PURSUANCE OF OTHER COURSE OF STUDIES With the permission of the Institute a student can pursue one course of study at a time. A student has to submit application in Form No.112 to the appropriate Regional Office of the Institute seeking permission to pursue other course of study within one month of joining the college/ course. The office shall grant permission within one month from the date of receipt of Form No.112. The students currently undergoing graduation or other course under general permission, which was given for the articled assistant to pursue graduation course, is withdrawn; therefore should obtain the permission within six months of issuance of new guidelines. The students shall, however, be permitted to complete the academic session/year currently undergoing and switch over to correspondence courses or institutions where no classes are conducted between 11.00 a.m. and 5.00 p.m. on any working day. The certificate portion in Form No.112 indicating college timings etc. shall be countersigned by the Principal of the college with the seal and stamp of the college and also indicating the telephone number and full address of the college. In the event of breach of these guidelines and not taking permission as required, the articles already undergone shall be derecognised for such period as the Institute may decide. In case an articled assistant is found not undergoing articles in the manner prescribed, he shall be debarred from appearing in the exam up to 3 consecutive exams besides cancellation of such period of articles. The concerned member who allowed him to be such an articled assistant be subject to punitive action besides withdrawing either partly or fully his eligibility to train articled assistant. In Peer Review, the Reviewer be required to verify whether training is imparted to the articled assistants in the manner prescribed.

Balancing coaching classes with articleship can be challenging, especially when the class timings conflict with your work schedule. Here’s a guide on how to address this issue and potential actions you can take:
### Steps to Address the Issue:
1. **Discuss with Your CA Principal:** - **Explain the Situation**: Have a candid conversation with your CA principal about the timing conflict. Emphasize the importance of completing the SFM course and how it affects your overall preparation for the CA exams. - **Seek Flexibility**: Request if there is any flexibility in your work hours or if you can adjust your schedule to accommodate the classes. Your principal may offer some flexibility or alternative solutions.
2. **Communicate with the Coordinator:** - **Formal Request**: Send a formal request to the coordinator explaining your situation, including details about your articleship timings and the current coaching schedule. Politely request a change in class timings or explore alternative options. - **Documentation**: Provide any official documents or proof from your CA firm that show your working hours and the conflict with the coaching schedule.
3. **Check with the Institute:** - **Institute Guidelines**: Review the guidelines or policies of your CA institute regarding coaching classes and articleship. The institute may have specific rules or recommendations for handling such conflicts. - **Complaint Procedure**: If the coordinator is uncooperative, you can file a complaint with the institute. Provide evidence of your efforts to resolve the issue and how the class timings are affecting your articleship.
4. **Alternative Solutions:** - **Online or Recorded Sessions**: If possible, request access to online or recorded sessions of the coaching classes. This can help you keep up with the course without needing to attend live classes during working hours. - **Alternate Coaching Providers**: Explore other coaching providers who offer flexible timings or recorded classes. Ensure they are reputable and provide quality education.
5. **Documentation and Evidence:** - **Maintain Records**: Keep records of all communication with the coordinator and your CA principal. This includes emails, letters, and any responses or decisions made regarding the class timings and your articleship.
### Possible Actions Against the Coordinator:
1. **Institute Complaint**: If the coordinator’s actions are against the guidelines of the institute or if they are unreasonably inflexible, you can lodge a formal complaint with the institute. The complaint should be detailed and include evidence of how the coordinator’s actions are affecting your articleship.
2. **Grievance Redressal**: Many professional institutes have a grievance redressal mechanism. You can use this to escalate your issue if direct communication fails.
### Action Plan Summary:
1. **Communicate with Your Principal**: Explain the conflict and seek their support or flexibility. 2. **Request Change from Coordinator**: Formally request a change in class timings or access to recorded sessions. 3. **Consult the Institute**: Review policies and file a complaint if necessary. 4. **Explore Alternatives**: Consider other coaching options if the current coordinator is uncooperative.
Balancing your coaching classes with your articleship is crucial for your CA exam preparation and professional development. Taking proactive steps to address the timing conflict while maintaining clear communication with all parties involved will help you manage both effectively.
