I am working as a senior article in my firm and have two articles working under me who have come after clearing their CPT.
I think the new system of articleship after CPT itself is faulty. Like...these two articles were fresh out of school. how could anyone expect them to start going to office so early in their lives. They have no college life what so ever which I think is the golden period for any student. They have have their tuitions for PCC...and the list never ends. Even at work they come with no real maturity. So there is presssure at office, at college, at home and every where.
I mean how can one expect teenagers to take up so much. life is like hell...and that is exactly the reason why they opt for this shortcut called Dummy. so that they can atleast do their college and studies properly which they are good at.
I strongly believe articleship should start only after clearing PCC. and eligibility for finals after 2 years of articleship.
