I personally think that articleship though is a very integral part of the course, but LETS FACE IT, AT THE END OF THE DAY, WHAT UR ABLE TO WRITE IN THE 3 HOURS IN THE EXAM HALL IS ALL THAT COUNTS AND ONLY THAT WILL EARN U A DEGREE, It is UNFAIR that people who do dummy are treated AT PAR with people who struggle to put up the best during the articleship period (Some, no , MOST OF THEM DONT EVEN GET ANY APPRECIATION FROM THEIR PRINCIPAL FOR THE WORK DONE, JUST THE USUAL WORK PRESSURE AND BEING TREATED LIKE MACHINES), Articleship should be an overall training experience for the student and requires revolutionary changes. The entire concept needs to be revisited and should compulsorily include training in various fields like Income Tax 1 yr Compliance 6 m, Company Audits 1 yr and so on..What say Guys???
