Hi Ankita,

One year ATC trainign will not count in your Articleship.So,Better you should go for Articleship first for three years(For Final) than ATC if you required.

I also submitted the registration form all (Both group with ATC) due to lack of my knowledge that time.But, now am clear.

ATC is, for those who will not clear their Final forever or after some years experience.Its like a Semi-CA.

Regards

ATC WHO DONT WANT TO CONTINUE CA, IF YOU COMPLETE IPCC FIRST GROUP THEN THEY WILL GIVE ATC CERTIFICATE..ATC CAN GET KNOWLEDGE BY DOING 1 UEAR ARTICLES AND IS THERE VALUE TOO..IF YOU WANT TO CONTINUE CA THEN NEED TO COMPLETE IPCC 2ND GROUP AND 3YEARS ARTICLES, FINAL..

IF YOU COMPLETE IPCC FIRST GROUP AND 1YEAR ARTICLES THEY WILL GIVE ATC CERTIFICATE, IF YOU CONTINUING THEN REST OF ARTICLES NEED TO DO..

BEST OF LUCK..

Ditto copy of ICAI FAQ for ATC typed below for ready reference.

Question No 32 in ICAI FAQ:-

Ques:- If a student register for ATC and both groups of IPCC, does he need to undergo 1 year work

experience separatly?

Ans:- Yes, Student has to undergo 1 year work experience separately for ATC certificate.

Question No 34 ICAI FAQ:-

Ques:- Which is more advisable course course for a student who has cleared CPT, to enroll

himself for IPCC or ATC or both? What will be the articled training period? Weather

the student has to undergo 1 year work experience for ATC serately?

Ans:-The ICAI suggests the students to enroll for both IPCC and ATC. Since, student need

not to more for ATC certificate i.e 9 months study course, 100 hours ITT and Orientation

Programme are same for IPCC and ATC students and are compulsory by this the student can

save registration fee and time and can ensure minimum besic qualification for Accounting

and Taxation assignments in he Industry. But for ATC certificate condidate has to go 1 year

work experience, which is separate from 3 years article ship under IPCC.
