PE-II passed needs help

Hi Aniket, answering questions I am sure of..

2. No last date per se, but the PE-2 rules say your final attempt will be in the last 12 months of articles, so basically start articles at such time so as to have finished 24 months (2 years) by  31 st October 2012, because you can't do Final before that anyway. The earlier the better, because you obviously want the 3 yr articleship to end as soon as possible, no?

3. November 2012.

4. 3 years.

As far as which firm to join, i'm sure you know that the bigger firms would mean more work but better exposure, etc.

thanks for your reply.. will surely take most use of it..
