Articleship or slavery??

Is this articleship or slavery or employment?? If articleship is with intetion to learn things practically then teach us relevant things and not to bring tea for client or to clean your table or send us to do your personal works... If its slavery then why you have given name of training? If its employment then pay us what we deserve... They tell us to stay till 9 and finish up all work n go,, they call us by morning 9 we have no other option... as per institute an articled assistant should work min 35 hrs n max 45hrs a week.. but they employ us for 54 or more a week.. whom and how does it matter?? If we call ICAI there is none to listen us.. huh frgt about complaints they dont even care about procedural or registeration related problems.. Many student come up with their goal, hopes, dreams they struggle they suffer and brave one reach it... but what about low class family student? they come in city for articleship spending money though they dont have it.. and institute standard pay is 2000 in first year.. Its common sense that monthly minimum expenses of a person is Rs 5000 in any city... and they cant even think of taking coaching... I have seen a student who skip one time food to reduce their expenses... Does it mean low class family shouldnt come in CA profession??....

yes kavitha you are right , but we have no other option until complite of this such a hell experiance of Article ship , institute make rule as Article ship but no body care about is really student learning practicle work .it is injustice .

Don't get disheartened as everything that comes in life is fr a reason. So its upto u to take it as a lesson or just sit n cry.

I agree .This is a age old problem.How many Auditors really take their time and train the staffs.Is the Articleship period too long in the present high tech world...lot to ask

I too agree with this. First of all the duration of articleship is too long. If the student gets real training, one to one and half year training is enough. Second, the main objective of any one is only earning profits. Why will anyone take pain to train students? Ultimately If students doesn't learn, it's only their mistake and they should repent for this. 

Low class family student should go for big4.. If you are goin for job in future, not in practice then this 3 yrs of experience is not counted as experience only..
ya i agree with this problem i am suffering too this kind of problem
Kavita ,you should take action instead of sitting and suffering .Working overtime is managable in case u are getting something productive,but ur just doing clerical work.You should write to ICAI and complain about it.This happens very often and we articles can't say anything.... Just shameless on part of those who do such things
Its the plight of every other articled clerk. Either you complain to the institute or bear with the treatment meted out to you which is not acceptable to you and set an example for us. You can only share the pain here which is of no use.
Hope for the best but prepare for the worst. From 2016 it may improve but a student should try to synchronize whe she/he reads in text book with practical questions arising, also 1 year industrial training under a good MIT can do a lot good to a student who wants to join industry in future. Its just that 1 has to look for learning opportunities.
Atleast it helped me a lot to creck interviews, speaking of slavery, in a labour surplus economy there will always be slavery, I am working with one of the top corporate group of India and still the situation is same. So wise choice is to learn and move forward.
Yaaa It is reality we need to make a common plateform for taking any action.... Plz give ur suggestin for makin a articles UNION..........
This is not a universal phenomenon kavita ... it is company dependent and also dependent on the time of the year. Regardless would advise you to love what you do else the whole journey is a waste.

Recently some cases are found that some students gets Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) after surviving painful experiences in articleship.

 

Be Careful.

 

CA course is not worth losing mental health.
