Reduction in the period of articles for PCC students to 3 yr

Below, I have written a model to be emailed to above email ids (So thats being mouthfed)::

Respected Sir,

Sub: Reduction in the period of articles for PCC students from 3 ½ years to 3 years


I had read a post on www.icai.org regarding abovementioned subject. (https://icai.org/post.html?post_id=4691&c_id=219)

I want to throw some light on above issue which might be of some importance to your committee:
The students from courses prior to and after PCC Course, i.e., PE-II and IPCC Students have to serve 3 years of articleship training including 6 months of allowed leave. This means they have to serve a net articleship period of 2.5 years only.

On the other hand, students of PCC course have to serve 3.5 years of articleship training including 6 months of allowed leave. This means they have to serve a net articleship period of 3 years. This means that PCC students serve 6 months excess articleship training than the other courses.

To make matters more difficult for PCC students, they have to appear for 2 exams, i.e., PCC and CA Final while taking maximum 6 months leave (or serve remaining period after CA Final Exams). And that means average 3 months preparation leave for each exam (which seems highly improbable to clear either of the exams).
On the other hand, IPCC and PE-II students have to appear only CA-Final exams after taking 6 months leave.

This serves a double blow to PCC students who already have to cope up with Articlehip-PCC Exam-Articleship-CA Final Exam type of situation which is unlike the course format of other courses.

I hope your committee comes out with the decision to reduce the articleship period to three years as the articleship period of the earliest batches of PCC is nearing its end.


Expecting a positive reply from your side,

Regards,

I will try to keep this post on top by posting regularly with help of my friends, but I need YOUR Support.

So keep posting, so that more mails are sent.!!

Well I wouldnt know if what u r doin is right or wrong.But PE-2 students are suppose to span a longer time to become CA as they hav to wait to sit for PE-2 exms for an year atleast and then join articles.So actuallly its almost 6 months of salary wasted...And training forms essential part so dont frown.It will get over soon

@ rahul

Certainly training forms imposrtant part of CA....but this should not  be at the cost of Exams!!

PCC students generally get lesser time to study for both the exams(and the ideology of 'study while you are working' doesnt work her). as a result the no. of attempts increase unnecessarily (spellcheck!!). this may impact the career prospects whithout any reasons.

@ vivek

you may be right MR.SUDEEP, but this discussion is going on in current scenario of competitive environment wherein an increase in no. of attempt may ruin the career. and you must done your articleship after B.Com,wherein PCC/IPCC do it along with B.com(ofcourse,this is students choice!!)

Also, as you must have experienced in your professional life today, competition has increased tremendously,as also pressure in articleship.
