As you know, this June' s Pe-2 results have been horrible. I have cleared group two of PE-2 in 2008, and I wanted to know what I can do to start articleship. The latest IPCC notification says we can enroll now and appear in 2009 Nov. , but what type of exemption will i get?? Because in IPCC there are 4 papers in group 2! Tax I have already cleared in PE-2 , will I have to do all these again? Will exemption be group wise or paper wise?

And what about articleship? In IPCC, those who pass group 1 will start articleship after results are declared. But for the PE-2 group 2 pass students, can we start articleship on the basis of group two passing?

And will we be allowed to switch even if we have exhausted 5 attempts? Please help me out, as the date for taking a decision is very close. Thank you very much.

Animish, in that case can i start articleship immediately, on account of having cleared one group of PE-2? Because the group is not connected to 1st group of IPCC...IPCC students have to clear the first group, with 4 papers, to start articleship. And this is also valid if you have exhausted 5 PE-2 attempts? And now i will have to give 4 papers, accounts twice? :(

you can convert even if u have exhausted ur 5 attempts but since u have not cleared accounts and law u cant start your article ship but if u clear the same during nov ipcc attempt you can start,

dont confuse the pe2/pcc groups with ipcc, ipcc has mixed the subs in grp 1 . remember its easy to clear in accounts in grp 1 in ipcc since the portion is quite easy something u should look for.

also the tough accounts is in grp 2 which u can clear later even in next attempt but you can start your articleship only after passing grp1 .

Animesh, thanks a lot for clarifying that doubt. One of my friends had told me as long as you have passed one group of PE-2, you can start articleship under new scheme, so I was confused. So you are saying if I switch , I have to appear for only the Group I wala 'accounting', and not the 'advanced accounting'? Total same 3 papers which i have pending? Hmm..I had my exam form ready for submission tomorrow, then I saw this announcement on Friday night. Frankly now I dont know if it's worth converting, as anyway I am not able to start articleship immediately. I wanted to atleast be working valid articles while waiting for IPCC results for 3 mnths :(

Anyway, hope we take the right decision whether it is smart to switch at this point. You cannot be sure that the new IPCC course results also will not have very very low %. And PE-2 is anyway very poor. Tough decision.

If you are saying that I have to appear for Advanced accounting also, then there's no way I'm switching! I have really struggled with this stupid accounts subject..I dont want to appear for it twice. I think I can work hard and try for PE-2 only :(

since u have only to clear grp1 for starting the articleship it would be wiser to give to give grp1 wala accounts. just look at the topics the have in grp1 wala accounts passing wil not be tough for you. remember we study both easy as well as tough accounts simaltaneously for pe 2 as well as the institute aslo changes paper pattern from 16 marks sums to 8 marks sums, so passing in accounts in pe 2 is difficult than in ipcc thats what i feel

but yes advanced accounting you will have to give later on since without passing that and audit u cant proceed to ca final

If you pass PE-2 in Nov 09 or pass IPCC one group in Nov 2009, either way articleship will start on the same date. In that case, you final attempt would be due earlier, under PE-2 scheme, as it is due in May 2012. But under IPCC, since it says 'during final 6 mnths' then you will be due only in Nov 2012. Hence, the only advantage for switching is that you will be out of this dangerous PE-2 course which has such low pass percentage. But even that you cannot be sure of IPCC, as you can see from the almost zero % pass rate of Final (NEW) course students in June. But I would recommend that those who have both grps of Pe-2 pending should switch.
