It is exempt U/s 10(16). Case Law : Sudhir Kumar Sharma v/s ITO (1983)(Jaipur-Tb).

Stipend will not be considered as income because any amount paid for meeting cost of education is exempt u\s 10(16)
for better understanding refer the section and case laws from Incometaxindia.gov

Scetion 10(16) states Scholarship and not stipend.
Minimum stipend paid by the CA Firm is fixed by the Institute of Chartered Accountant and does not mean that it is towards meeting cost of education. Stipend is paid regardless of ability, income structure or any other criteria.
Whereas Scholar ship is usually give to a person based on performance, income grade or other criteria and all students will not be eligible for the scholarship in that route.
Hence, it would be incorrect to claim that stipend will be exempt

Stipend received by an articled clerk is EXEMPT EXEMPT EXEMPT.
As per the view of ITAT Jaipur Bench "A graduate who has joined as an audit clerk doesnot have knowledge to do works of a Chartered Accountant and so it cannot be said that the stipend was paid for the services rendered by him. Stipend is paid to meet;
(a) Cost of education
(b) Cost of books
(c) Examination fees etc.
of the articled clerk.
