I have some queries about CA articleship. Firstly is a CA article allowed to undergo any other courses during the articleship period? I am going to start my articleship soon and I also want to do M.Com during this period. Will I be allowed to do so? M.Com classes start from 5.10 pm. So it does not fully coincide with the articleship hours. I am not looking for dummy articleship. Therefore I may have to leave work a bit early. Am I required to take permission from ICAI? My second question is what is the normal articleship hours a day? Is it essential to do articleship from a big firm? How can doing articleship from a small firm affect me in future?

Yes you can do Mcom,

you have to intimate ICAI.

And answer to you second question is :- Normal office timings are 10am to 5:30pm or say, 6pm

and as far as Big firm Article or small or medium size firm is concern :- In my opinion, no matter where you do your articleship, it is the determination and willingness to learn are in built in a new entrant to the profession, even a person doing articleship from remote areas can do wonders in CA Exams. This is evident many a times from the past results of the CA Exam.

It is not that only Big firm's experience is good and rest all are waste...

You can see many people from Big firms fail and also people from small/medium firms have come out with flying colours.

Only the result matters....

All the Best for you future friend...
