November 2008 PCC Exam

Manish Rathod (Student) (78 Points)

10 April 2008  
I had passed CPT exam in November 2006 securing 18th rank.

I have also completed the 100 hours ITT course by passing the test conducted
on 24/06/07.

I would like to know whether the eligibility requirement for PCC Exam
is 15 months of articleship, 3 months prior to the exams OR 18 months
of articleship.

This is important for me as I would be completing my 15 months of
articleship in the first week of May 2008. After that I intend to take
a break and NOT leave from articleship for about 11 months for the PCC
exam in November 2008 and for the T.Y.B.Com University exams in
March-April 2009. Consequently I would resume my articleship for the
balance period of 27 months.
I have not come across any regulation stating that we cannot take a break or have to be on leave for studying and apearing for the exams.
Please reply to my query as soon as possible.
