In maximum cases Big 4 ask for first or second attempt students.

But its not necessary that in every case they ask for first or second attempt students.

If u have knowledge and reference then you can easily make upto a Big4.
Try to first ascertain if there is any vacancy in the Big4, then lookout for someone who can arrange an interview for u.

If u perform well and exhibit good knowledge there, then you are "IN", irrespective of your attempts.

Dont worry, just look for opportunities in Big 4

Yeah one more than that I would really recommend to you.

If u dont make it to Big 4, then rather try for some other good firms in an around your area.
YOu make well go for other Big firms which have equal reputation as Big 4 have.
These firms may range from S.S Kothari Mehta and Co to many others.

Keep looking for their websites for any opening.

YOu surely get somewhere or other .
Rest best wishes from my side

hi everyone, do we have a chance of getting into big 4 by clearing only 1st group ipcc and having a reference for articleship. Are the big 4 recruiting single group passout students ?
