No, You are eligible for November 2013 attempt. who are under going their last six months period of their articleship as on the first day of the month of such exams commencing are eligible to attempt the exams. Thus you are in last six months of your articleship as on the date of 1st November 2013 so you are eligible for November 2013 attempt.
Note: Servicing of last six months of articleship period means including excess leaves. I.e if any excess leaves then those who are servicing their last six months of articleship period including excess leaves if any will be eligible to attempt.

No, It's not possible to prepone I.e complete your articleship earlier than actual period. Because of ICAI saying required to attend office for 5 days in a week except Saturday and Sunday in case of any reason if a student doesn't attend the office in any day(s) between Monday to Friday then he can serve and attend the office on Saturday of that week and complete their articleship hours for such week. As well as it saying to the employers in case of any requirement of the student at exceptional case employer case use the student by late hours or excess hours than required but such excess working hours has to compensate to the student in his excess leaves if any. But not encouraging the continues excess working hours so then it no accepted you doesn't allow to you pre-eligible attempt.

Hai Nikhil For your friend facing problem solution is.
Request your employer " i will serve excess hours till i complete the excess leaves of 7 days and please compensate it me and don't consider such 7 days as my leave because of due to the such 7 days i lost one attempt by 6 months" thus you request the employer and if he accepted then she can appear for November 2013. Because of employer also certify the period of articleship completed and has to be complete in the exam form.

Then also request the employer if he agrees to sign on the exam form for November 2013 attempt then okay but in such case he has to answer a question if any required by the ICAI(99% ICAI not requested) answer is " because of requirement of student i use her for the excess hours and such she recovers some excess leaves of her and the same has been compensated by me so according to me she is servicing last six months of the articleship period as on the date of 1st November 2013.

But may suggestion also not possible because of your friend already registering Articleship upto 8-5-2014. And i also i explained you for your case pre-completion of articleship not possible. So the above answer said by me also not satisfies the ICAI and may not accept but we will try as our level best. Because of ICAI will not pressure on 7 days late of articleship. So my suggestion is say to your friend apply for November 2013 exams with the above answer if ICAI accepted then better. Trying our self is good and helps to us. God always became happy thing. Every thing is our best only.
