Hello All,
Recently I got this announcement from one of my friends regarding the BCom degree under IGNOU-ICAI tie-up. The announcement says the requirement of articleship in order to get the degree has been removed. Here is an extract -
"As approved by the Academic Council’s Standing Committee meeting held on 20th December, 2010 of Indira Gandhi Open University (IGNOU), it is decided to exclude:
Ø BCOL-001: 100 hours IT Training through Accredited Institutions from the programme structure of B.Com (A&F) for all the students.
Ø It is also decided to exclude the requirement of Completion of 3 years of articleship of ICAI."
Can anyone please corroborate this - since I am unable to find any such announcement on both IGNOU and ICAI websites? I have also attached a copy of the document.
