Big4 requirements???

8438 views 5 replies

Hello everyone....lately I have searching over the net for articleship requirements in BIG 4 firms.But,I couldn't understand one thing properly,i.e. "BOTH GROUPS CLEARED".Now I have few things to ask in this regard....

1.Do they need both groups cleared together in one attempt or they need only both groups cleared groupwise(separately)???

2.Do they always prefer over one having a rank rather than a non-rank holder???

3.Is there any scope for a single group cleared IPCC student in BIG-4'S??

I also have one more qs that I have been wondering a lot about...

We all know that a student having cleared 7 papers(both groups) gets a rank if he does well,but does anyone get a rank if one gives both groups simultaneously one after the other????

Also if one gets more than 70% in a single group,will he get that remark when he gets the pass certificate after having cleared both the groups???

AWAITING YOUR REPLIESS......THANK U IN ADVANCE

Attempts doesn't matter there,candidate should have cleared both groups.yes rankers and refrences gets priority over other. Rank is awarded only to student who cleared both group in single attempt.

1."Both groups cleared" means both groups cleared in any number of attempt, even if one group is cleared in one attempt. This clause is added to cut short the candidates who have one group pending in IPCC.

 

2. Yes, Big4 prefer Rank Holders no matter how dumb the rankholder is. They foolishly assume that the rankholder can only be suitable for the Big4. But I must tell you, Reference/ Jacks/Links are the weapon of mass destruction here. In India, references can even instantly beat the rankholders. Now, reference for Big4 means a reference from IAS officers,State Ministers, Cabinet Ministers, Corporate Big Names. A non rank IPCC cleared student may not get the chance of articleship in big4 but after qualifying, there are some jobs in big4 which are specifically for students who cleared CA finals in multiple attempts. Obviously, you will never get Merger and Acquistion area and salary will also be low.

 

3.Yes, there is ample chance for a single group cleared IPCC student in BIG-4s.
But only through Good References.

 

4.Yes, you can get a rank, even if you fail in both groups 10 times and finally gave both groups for 11th time and cleared at last.

 

No remarks will be given if one gets more than 70% in a single group, when he get the pass certificate after having cleared both the groups.

 

If one group pass means there is no eligibility to get articles in big 4 . that to in second attempt.
For getting rank one should clear both the groups in a single sitting scoring minimum of 55% marks atleast

Big 4 generally hire students who have cleared both groups. They prefer that both the groups are cleared in first attempt. But that doesn't mean that they don't stand a chance to be selected.
