Articleship - ca final attempt

Hey Guys,

          I have cleared By IPCC Group 1(Nov 2011) and wanted to join a top medium sized firm but as there is no vacany right now   I am in a dilemma of sorts as I don't want to extend my final attempt!

         If I wait for a few months I am sure I wil get a place in a good medium sized firm, so the DOUBT I am having is If lets say I JOIN a SMALL FIRM & START MY ARTICLESHIP from 5th March I believe my FIRST ELIGIBLE FINAL ATTEMPT WILL BE NOVEMBER 2014!

      If I leave this small firm after 3 months and join another firm immiediately WILL MY CA FINAL ATTEMPT BE EXTENDED TO MAY 2015 or WILL IT REMAIN THE SAME (NOVEMBER 2014)

      Please clarify my doubt asap! Ty
