Articleship

earlier the better.  Also check for exemptions/ set-off if applicable to your case.

Actually I heard somewhere that immeditely after completion of executive programme,

we can either join articles

(or)

complete professional programme and then do our  15 months of articleship.

Is that true?

I am also preparing for ca-ipc this nov along with cs-executive dec'13.On clearing the exam if I join articleship where my boss will be a ca as well as cs will there be any exemption for cs articles or can I claim that both the articles were done together or anything like that?

Once you start CA articleship, you won't be able to pursue any other internship.

With regards to set off.  No, you cannot claim set off against CA internship.  However, you can continue CS without doing the internship and later on claim set off against various clauses in CS regulations (including one that provides exemption in case of 3 years' CA practice).

oh! ok . thanks a lot.
