I have converted from PCC to IPCC in 2013 (no direct entry) and have already completed my 3.5 years of articleship. I want to apply for May 2017 IPCC exam. Do I have to submit the Certificate of Service? I do not fall under any category of students mentioned in the "Guidelines for IPCE" on ICAIEXAM website regarding the mandatory requirement of submitting the Certificate of Service.
i.e. "I haven't joined/converted to Intermediate(IPC) through Direct Entry Scheme - Graduates/Post Graduates or registered for Intermediate (IPC) course through CPT route and appeared in the Intermediate (IPC) Examination in one or both groups but did not pass any of the group/s and converted to Intermediate(IPC) under the Direct Entry Scheme and commenced practical training".
I tried to call ICAI to get a solution but either their numbers are mostly busy or if it rings, no one picks up the call. I have even sent them an email. They still haven't replied to that. Please provide an answer at the earliest so that I can submit my form. Thank you.

Visit your local branch and seek assistance of superior official or raise your query on e-sahayatha or keep trying to connect with Examination Department or finally none of it works, you should call the Deputy Secretary (Exams) and inform your plight.

I submitted my form. For candidates like me, there was no option to submit the Certificate of Service as it is not required. Thank you for the reply.
