I feel that you can very well pursue your articleship with any CA having vacancy for articles. Some professional firms maintain certain standards like a pass in both groups of IPCC to suit their internal requirements. I feel that M/s Kalani & Co must have the same thing and hence they might have advised you to complete IInd group and come for articleship. Technically I feel that you can do articleship.
But practically, you can have peace of mind if you have also cleared the IInd group also and pursue articleship with full attention( without exam tensions) Some firms prefer and give better stipends to IPCC passed candidates who have passed both groups.
