Direct entry articleship

This discussion explores the feasibility of securing articleship in top 20 firms via the CA Inter direct entry route. While ICAI doesn't restrict it, some rumours suggest firms favour foundation route students due to perceived longer availability. The core concern is balancing articleship with the required 8 months of study for direct entry students. Advice suggests that if you can manage the dual commitment, direct entry is viable; otherwise, consider the foundation route.
