Coaching Classes for CA Final are generally conducted in the Morning (like 6 am to 9 am) and in the evening (like 6 pm to 9 pm). Then how come they do not allow you to go for classes as attending classes during those timings will in no way affect your articleship.
And regarding leave, I agree with Vinayak. However, I found that in many Firms, these regulations relating to leave or working hours are not followed. I have seen many of my friends taking leave to the extent of one year during their 3 years of Articleship and still did not do any supplementary of Articleship (additional period for excess leave availed). I don't know how it goes in your firm. Does your Firm follow all the regulations very strictly? Do they adhere to Regulation 60 (working hours of Article Trainees which is 35 hours maximum per week)?
And most importantly do you maintain a good relationship with your principal?
