The Institute has granted relief to all streams of students in the past 10 days but the only ones to be left out are those who have passed both the groups of the PE-II Examination.

--> PCC/IPCC Students have been given an advantage of 6 months to appear in the Final Examination.

--> PE-II Students who have cleared at least one group have been allowed to start their articleship. This provision was not available previously to PE-II students.

The only category left are those students who had cleared their PE-II Exams. The gap between their PE-II exam attempt & their Final Exam attempt is 2.5 years whereas PCC students who were already at an advantage now don't even have a gap of 1 year between their PCC attempt & Final Attempt. What is the Institute doing??

Some sort of Relief should also be granted to PE-II Passed Students either through reduction in Articleship Period or to give the same 6 months advantage to PE-II Passed Students. This is a very important matter & ICAI needs to take a quick action to bring equality amongst all students.
