It's getting annoying now. I don't know about rest of the country but here in Andhra Pradesh number coaching institutes claiming to be best for CA have grown beyond belief in last 3 - 4 years. Some are claiming themself to be 'CA colleges' others as 'Best for MPC(+2) based students' and some are even giving 'Pass guarantee' . The students who have absolutely ZERO knowledge about CA are coming in due to massive advertisements saying 'Job Guarantee and Easy course'
ICAI may be happy at profession gaining name with number of registrations on the raise, the issue here is quality of output, I am not talking of pass % or knowledge. These institutes are just making another machine, churning out individuals who can work when some other person guides them. They simply don’t know what it means to be a professional. Many are getting stuck in this web of advertisements and are becoming pray for these greedy institutes which only see marks as measure for individual achievements.
This has to be stopped or we will see more ‘Sat**m’ cases and in the worse case we will start having suicides of CA students too like those of other courses. Can ICAI do something? Is there any provision in the act which provides for control over these issues related to professional standard and image?
