Xactly but nly ICAI cn do with it!!

100% true.

PE-I should be re-introduced

while in all other courses, students are filtered at the point of entry, for CA every person gets in and the unlucky ones get stuck at pcc or final

wat a pitiable stage the course is in:-(

Dats true

As i too came with the same thought , i cant gain much knowledge in CPT

so i am suffering in my IPCC 

ya thats right,with an easy entry  people become overconfident and tend to show it in PCC stage. As we all know the quality and stipend of articleship reduced after PCC was introduced. If not reintroduce PE1,there should be merit list type provision to eliminate unserious candidates

Good analysis

instead of writen exam the standard of cpt can be incresed like IIT and CAT even these are objective but they are of good standards SO hope it happens in Cpt also

i to agree with him...........

"cpt is just an earning source for the institute" ...... n dats y its easier than any ca exam.................

cpt should remain there but it should be made more analytical like the cat or iit-jee........this way only the intelligent ones would pass and come into ipcc.....yo/..

peace..
