It depends on the work you get from your prospective principal and the nature of assignments you get from the clients... anyways in overall, you have to be sound with Accounting Standards/ IFRS, Basic Tax matters, Basic company law nd secretarial matters.. Given you are an Ipcc student, you would have had some fair knowledge on all of the above when you prepared for exams itself..
that wil jus be enough to act as launch pad for articleship. Once you get in, you will start learning many advanced things as the articleship goes..
