Help! regarding transfer of articleship within 1 year.

Diksha (None) (45 Points)

13 August 2012

I have completed my IPCC-Group I in May 2012. I have my 2nd group exams in Nov. And the last date for registration of articleship is late Oct for May 2015.

I wish to give my Nov exams from my home town but want an articleship outside.

So should I register myself as article at my home town itself and after my exams opt for a transfer?

Or should I apply for firms outside now and ask them to delay my joining by Nov?

Or any other suggestion?

Also I'll have my B.com exams in March end till almost full April.

Please help ASAP!!

These things are pretty important. And you would have to prioritise things. You would not be able to get everything on a platter as and how you wish it would be. You will have to compromise somewhere. If your hometown has good CA firms/ scope (workwise) then there is no harm in taking up articles in your hometown. Also kindly keep in mind that transfer is not a good option. you need to get adjusted to a firm first and only then you can pick up work. So I dont see transfer as a very good option.

On the other side, if your hometown doesnt have a good scope for CA's (work wise), then I would say register for article outside your town take a month odd leave for your 2nd group and finish it (if your principal is willing to). Given that fact that 2nd group has all lighter subjects, I donot envisage much problems.

It all depends on your circumstances. Ideal choice would be join articles outside (assuming your hometown doesnt have great scope compared to outside), take leave from october 1st week or 2nd week (with a mutual understanding), give your 2nd group and get back to work the next day your exams get over.
