Hi all,

I just cleared my IPCC exam in May 2011. And some of my friends told me that I am eligible to write my finals after 2 years of articleship while others are telling me that it is 2 and half years....I am just curious...pls help me know which one is true! And if i start my articleship this month i.e August 2011, then am i eligible to write in November 2013??? because that is after the completion of 2 yrs of articleship...Plz help me find the correct answer.

Thanks.

hey

Even i heard the same thing so i went to the institute to find out and they told me that this change has happened but not for ipcc people. its for those guys who have shifted from pcc to ipcc. because pcc had 3.5 years of articleship and they were allowed to give their final attempt 6 months before it gets over i.e. 3 years that has been changed to 1 year before your articleship gets over i.e. 2.5 years. But ONLY for pcc students.
