The Council in its 401st meeting noted that there are few students who are yet to complete ITT/OC before 31st May,2021. Accordingly, the Council has decided to extend time to complete the requirement, as a one-time measure, which is as under:
- The students who are required to complete OC/ITT course uptill 31st May 2021, can now complete the same on or before 30th June,2021.
- The students who do not complete their OC/ITT on or before 30th June,2021 as per above extension, their practical training (article ship) period will be extended in direct proportion to the delay in completion of OC/ITT i.e. if they complete their OC/ITT on 25th July,2021 their articleship period will be extended by 25 days and so on.
