Looking for Articleship !!!

Articleship 1711 views 5 replies

I gave my CPT Exam immediately after my 12th std. exams in AUGUST,2007 and cleared in first attempt with 128 marks out of 200 marks. Due to some personal reasons, I was not able to continue further, so, I decided to continue CA after completing my graduation. I completed my B.COM Tin 2010 and secured 78%. I completed pre-requsities for appearing IPCC GRP-I Exam i.e. I completed 100 HRS ITT and ORIENTATION PROGRAMME during 2010 and appeared for IPCC GRP-I exam in NOVEMBER,2010 in which, I secured 214 marks out of 400 marks in first attempt.Therefore, my attempt for IPCC GRP-II Exam was to be in MAY,2011. But, as there were chances that my M.COM-I Exam might clash with IPCC GRP-II Exam, I decided to give in NOVEMBER, 2011. I secured 62% in M.COM-I Exam.So, in this NOVEMBER, I gave my IPCC GRP-II Exam and now, I am looking for my articleship.

Taking into consideration the above situation, I have some questions :

(1) Will there be any kind of excuse or issue on part of CA firm to take me as article as there was discontinuity in my CA Course? There is a gap between CPT Exam and IPCC Exam.

(2) What are the preferable qualities or criterias do CA firm look for in an article ?

(3) What type of questions do they ask  while joining their firm for articleship?

I had interacted with my friends regarding their joining of articleship, but, I didn't find any satisfactory answers from them.

Here, on CCI, I hope that you all experts over here, will guide me in this matter. I know that giving BOTH GROUPS at a time in NOVEMBER,2010 itself would have been better, but, at that point of time, I was unable to focus on studies for SECOND GROUP of IPCC.

I hope for better guidance.

THANKS IN ADVANCE !!!

1) In my view, there won't be much significant impact because of your gap in between. As you already have passed IPCC 1st group, there won't be much problem to get articleship. But mostly they will ask you the reason, for which, you should be ready to answer that genuine question. As you already have done Mcom first year, this will be a plus point to you.

 

2) The main qualities looks for by any reputed firm in a student are good communication skills, subject knowledge, positive thinking, self-confident and leadership skills.

 

3) It is difficult to say that these are the questions that will be asked. However, mostly, you are expected to be good at Accounting Standards and general accounting procedures/transaction processes, Audit Standards, important sections in taxation, service tax and vat, and some knowledge on IndAS standards, working knowledge of Tally etc. These will help you to get good firm. Its good if you can make habbit of regular follower of CA Member Journal for various updates relating to our level and knowledge on other topics like XBRL etc.

 

And last but not least prepare your Resume in a professional way, because this is the first step that turns your life whether to enter into reputed firm or not. Most students are not getting even calls, because of their resume preparations. So make a better resume and be ready with subject knowledge. Also post your resume in naukri like sites and keep searching the websites of reputed firms to apply online and try to get references of your friends if they are working in a reputed firm. All the best.

Why you are thinking negative .......in other side your maturity and M.Com is beneficial for CA Firm even you heve right to take good stipend in your articleship.

Follow above two persons advise. Articlesahip is not a hard thing. Be always positive.
