Hello, I wanted to know whether it is compulsory to do industrial training in organisations as approved by ICAI. Can we do industrial training in an organisation which is not approved by ICAI but has turnover exceeding 10 crores & having net assets more than 1Crore? Also can we do the same in an NPO(Educational Institutes like Universities) having net assets more than 1 crore?

no you cannot. But if you are really interested in doing IT with one particular company which does meet the ICAI eligibility requirements, then you can help it getting approval from ICAI.

Yes, you can do training under approved organisation.
