you people are talking about dummy training. but let me say this... these days students are interested in practical work more than any professional.. y i am saying this is... they have found that the articleship is actually helping in their examinations... more over principles have also become more strict...
i am saying this from my personal experience... i thought articles would be a waste of time during my first year of articles... but later on i was so involved that now i have already successfully completed my articleship but still i am working for the same principle... i dont know about other CA's but he really helps me in my academics also by clering some doubts in difficult topics... so i dont think one has fear or one has to think that it will curb dummy training... ( moreover it is easier to fraud electronocally rather than on paper )...
