Dear Friend,
This is one of the major problem faced by many CA Students. Some students may joined in a reputed Audit Firm for their Articleship and Many students joined in a Small Firm / Individual CA's.
But One thing is Sure.................. No One will Know Everything.....................
Some Students completed their Articleship in Big 4's (Audit Section), They didn't know even How to File IT Return and Other Procedures in Income Tax. But a Student from Small CA Firm's may knows everything in Income Tax But he lacks knowledge about Audit of Companies, Trusts, ROC etc...
I agree with Srivatsan...... Articleship Exposure is necessary only if you want to go for Practice or to get a job in Audit Firms. If you want to work in Corporate Sector, Articleship training is irrelavent, Because the work in Corparates is totally different from the work that we learnt in Audit Firms.
But If you want to work in Big 4's, they may check your Practical Knowledge and your Articleship Training .
My Suggestion is If you want to work in Big 4's, After finishing CA, You can join initially in some Reputed Audit firms in Metropolitan Cities as an AUDIT ASSISTANT and learn everything practically and then from that Experience you can move on to Big4......
