Chartered Accountancy course is a great field. It turns the best, if capable and confident candidates like you pursue this course. Do not let the obstacles of a rough articleship experience, knock you down. Revere the profession, and the same shall be delivered to you, sooner or later :)

About the rumour that C.A.s are insecure about the talent of their articles, is somewhat true. They do get bogged down at times, if the article performs extraordinarily well.. However, I believe that there surely are a handful of genuine C.A.s too, who believe in nurturing the talent of thir articles.

Coming to the issue that your C.A. has been undergoin mental trauma, owing to his family circumstances, then, one can understand his situation of being rude to you. But such a thing may be excused once or twice only. Not all the time, a person may be given the liberty of harsh behaviour simply coz we all, at some point of time, are undergoing stress in our lives.

My Dear fellow CA students who are still doing their articles training.

Learning workis never solely dependant on office or principal.If a student has the desire to learn the work, the sky is limit. so many web sites, so many magazines, so many books. On the other hand a student who doesnt have that zeel will not learn even if he is in top firm. 

Make every day of your training usefull. Try to learn what ever you can. you cant control how your boss, clients or colleagues behave, but, surely can of yours.

Thank you so much sir for alot of encouragement. But I guess, writing a book is an art in itself and to develop a skill to actually reach the heart of a reader, is a big task!!

Hopin a day comes when I'll acknowledge you for my book, if any :p

“Choose your Office(CA-Firm) the way you choose your life partner; after all, you spend more time in the Office(CA-Firm) than with your life partner” 

@ CA Saurabh Jain

Such a witty truth!!

CA students..

kabhi CA final ka result 25% toh kabhi 3%....

ICAI education system needs to improve..

when u talk about articleship than why 20-25 marks is not reserved for practical..

the people from small cities and small firms suffer the most.

ICAI officials should do surprise visits of CA offices and check quality of training imparted.

time has come for change and reforms in CA education system.

and this can happen only with members support and students protest

Sir, your indeed sounds so goods and if it is practically implied, alot shall improve in the quality of articleship, that a student undergoes. Monitoring the big chunk period of three years would definitely be an achievement in itself. However, the institute shall have to incur additional costs for bringing this to reality. Althemore, the students might not be very happy with this idea, since the dummy concept remains active in full throtle in the society, even today.

This idea is revolutionary and can actually bring about qualitative professionals into the society. But at the same time, the final examinations of the ICAI must be taken at an earlier stage, implying that the students must have a peace of mind of having cleared their final examination. This may, in a way, encourage the students further for a better sense of seriousness towards articleship.

@ Saurabh

We all know, most of the times, choise of life partner turns out to be a faulty one in most of the cases. Unfortunately by the time, the error of judgement is realised, its too late. The gutsy ones opt for divorce and rest wear the mask of happiness and spend their rest of lifes haplessly.There are exceptions, but they are just exceptions.

I guess the same holds true in article ship training. 

@ Vikas:

I dont agree with the suggestion of giving weightage to practical traiining.

No two CA firms have similar working conditions, clients or work culture.

you can't valuate examinees by giving different question papers to each one of them. Can we?

I also dont agree with the suggestion that surprise visits can gauge the quality of training. Quality is an intangible entity and it cant be measured by some surprise visits.

At most such inspections can watch working conditions.

come on yaar !!! we are dealing with a chartered accountant who is trained to successfully identify loopholes in an enactment. so any matter of amendments is of no use.
