sorry folks for this topic

I am a student of ICWA - final waiting for my inter Group - 2 results. I choose CWA over CA b'coz i could not affrod to do the articleship for 3 years. but some of friends have taken CA and they are working in private companys for disposable salaries and not doing there articles, when asked they told they can get there articles completion certificate by paying the CAs hefty amount.

Isn't it like doing fraud, i came to know that it is rampant all over india, where students doing CA take such drastic steps, so that they get sufficient time to concentrate on studies and also get paid from companies where they work. just by paying some money they also get there certificate.

I need club members comments on this topic. pls share your experiences in this matter.

My friend let me tell you that life is all about choices, but in my views i can assure you that your friends are on a wrong path.

Articleship is the backbone of CA curriculum. Currently they might be enjoying high pay checks, but they don't know what they are missing.This articleship period is never going to comeback for them.

Just like a student we can ask as many as doubts to our seniors and bosses, We can commit mistakes, we can learn and take the experience of various fields ( not being bound to work in a monotonous manner in a particular industry ). There are many more benefits that one derives from taking there articleship seriously.

well as rightly said

It is that "little extra" we get from our articleship.
