It seems that for some students only the transfer of articleship is the major issue whereas major issue is to qualify the examination. In my opinion; we should discuss those issues which can be solved at our level and not those which are out of control.
CA qualification is likely to become more and more challenging in future. Most the students have joined CA when they saw very goods results of PE II and PCE. They saw the results only and not cared for training where to join. At the time of joining it was clear that the students have to undergo training. And if we condmemn the training after joining it then there is no use of it specially when no transfers are allowed.
It is my humble request to the students that you have to face this situation. There may be so many areas in which your boss is involved. Try to see carefully how he remains busy all the time. Which types of persons come in the office. See the clients file carefully and notice their progress by analyzing the balance sheets of previous years. Certainly it will give important input which will help you to understand various aspects of business, accounting, auditing and taxation. In every CA office at least audited balance sheets are there. But students generally overview these and don't analyze. If they start analyzing; I am sure they will be surprised to know that so many materials is already there to learn.
Each CA has so many books in his office. See why he is having so many professional books which are altogether different from the books suggested by CA institute. It will further give you input about CA profession.
I really feel sorry where some students have to read discussion in the forum which is useless and cannot help them.
