Job

Yes you can get job, but you have to leave befor joining articleship

Ya, it is a nice thought.

It is better if you apply with a practising CA firm, because there is where you will have to land after 2 months for articleship. Prepare a good C.V. and post/mail them to the C.A. firms which you want to approach!!
