ICAI, has made the following announcement recently. My attempt is due in NOV 2011 and my articleship is due to be completed in MAR 2012...the announcement specifically refers to a "certificate". I have no idea of what they are referring to. Can anyone kindly explain???

Final examination- November 2011 Application Form

It is seen that Point 1.2(iv) of the eligibility criteria on Page no 1 of the Final examination form for November 2011 contains an error which has crept in inadvertently, through oversight:

The said Point no 1.2(iv), as corrected, be read as follows:

“You must be in service as on 1st November 2011 and serving the last six months of training including excess leave, if any, and due to complete 3 ½ years on or before 30th April 2012 ( PCC students) ( Certificate of service to this effect should be sent to Additional Secretary (Exam) by 30th November 2011)”

However, the relevant condition( applicable to PCC candidates) as appearing at Point No 6 (III) on Page 6 of the “Notes for information and guidance of applicants” and Point No 7 of the OMR application form is appearing correctly.

Inconvenience, if any, caused to students in this regard is deeply regretted.
