Yes sir, i agree with you. But, its not the fault of students only. ICAI has not left any choice with the students by its illogical rules and regulations. When a student takes decision to do dummy articleship he just think that if he is doing office work from 10 AM TO 7 PM then when he will complete his studies and coaching classes. No doubt one can clear ca all three levels in first attempt without coaching classes, but such students are very few, what about others average students? Second point is why to take the risk unnecessarily? Students have their family responsibilities and expectations that he should support his family as early as possible. In that situation a student can't take the risk about his life. He has to clear the exam first to get a job.
Meanwhile,
By seeing other's results the student gets tensed and join the classes to avoid the risk of failure in exam. Classes are helpful or not is a different issue, but it gives a mental satisfaction that a student has gone through the syllabus. Thats why students do dummy articleship and join classes.
The system itself is like that average student can't think of doing studies with regular office and without coaching classes. The system should be like that the student himself feel of doing his articleship genuinely and not for the sake of formality.
ICAI should change its articleship like CS institute. Do articleship after clearing your final exam. It will give 100% input from the students because they will do the articleship in their own interest and not for getting completion certificate. Thats what i think.
Note: these are my personal views only. Sir, i am not opposing the view put forth by you but just i want to clear the position from the point of view of the students. Thanks a lot.

Karan.
