Mail - I
Honorable Sir,
Is there any of the following benefit / facility available for the PE-II students?
otherwise please consider the following suggestions:
(Students joined on basis of degree and not cleared one or none of the groups)
1. Options for transferring to PCC?
2. Transition scheme to IPCC for the PE-II students?
3. Considering the work experience (in a CA firm) during PE-II in reducing the articles
period of PCC / IPCC?
4. Else if it only to be shifted to IPCC - concession in the fees and the articles period?
5. Eligibility to appear in the Nov-09 exams if shifted to PCC / IPCC.
Also kindly consider the following:
- There is no trouble for people entering the CA course, but it is for the existing students.
- The dreams of thousands of students coming true is based on your decision only.
-Your decision has power to retain thousands of students (pursing PE-II & PCC) in the
course as well to get out of it.

Dear Student,
Watch regularly for any updation/ announcement on our web site.
Mail – II
Honorable President,
Before going to the subject I would to like to give you and ICAI BOS a heartily thanks
for extending the PE 2 attempts and replying for my previous mail. Thanks a lot….
As you know very well that there are 3 different schemes currently running for the same
level of study. i.e…
PE-2
PCC &
IPCC
If we see the articles portion of the above 3, it is clear that PCC students & IPCC students
are enjoying the benefits of early articles period beginning either at the registration or on
completing 1st group.
Whereas, for the PE-2 Students unless and until they complete both the groups they
cannot apply for articles.
More over the options for existing PE-2 students to shift over to PCC / IPCC is also not
kept open. (No intimation/announcement on this is made yet)
On estimating of, by by comparing the students who have not completed both or either of
the groups in PE-2 till May-2010, with that of the students of Intermediate, PCC &
IPCC…, PE-2 students’ tenure for appearing for the final exams becomes the longest
period due to the articles.
Hence it is quite clear that a kind of unfavourism is thrown on the PE- 2 students with
respect to articles training commencement.
WHY?
A) If all students are equal, then why the PE-2 students are differentiated from the other
scheme students likes PCC & IPCC in the case of commencement of articles?
B) When our ICAI can frame different different schemes often for the same level of
study, can’t it make changes for/in the existing one also? So that only changes in the
syllabus is made, not in the articles period / commencement!!
Certain Suggestions:
1) Provisions shall be made for commencing articles for students pursuing PE-2 (even
both the groups are not cleared). Even if both or either of the groups is not cleared till
MAY-2010, their articles can continue but to take up the exams under PCC or IPCC after
MAY-2010 attempt.
OR
2) Considering the work experience in a CA firm for reduction in the period of articles
whether both or either of the groups of PE-2 is completed or not completed.
IF NOT
3) Option for shifting over, any time, to PCC or IPCC shall be kept open, so that atleast
the articles training will get started in case of PCC or after completing 1st groups in case
of IPCC.
Once again i would like to remind you that the efforts, pains, dreams & belief undergone
so long by many PE-2 students, their parents and family members becoming true or
going in to vein is dependent on your decision only.
Hoping a favorable decision.
Please Note some of my questions in the previous mail are still pending response.

Respected Sir,
Thanks for the effort taken in addressing the mail to authorities(Dated 20th August-09)
But the reply i got from the respective authorities was not related to the subject matter at
all, which i think your good self is aware of, as you are also marked CC.
Pls note that I was replied again & again only with the last announcement made regarding
extending the number of attempts. Hence, I request you to address this issue as important
and urgent.
Expecting an appropriate action and reply sir.....

Dear Student,
Please go through the following comparision for better understanding of the different
courses:
A) Regarding the priod of article for different courses comparison in given as under:
(a) The period of articleship for PE-II passed students is three years as they have already
spent two years in passing PE-I and PE-II examinations. Such students are eligible to
write final examnation during their last twelve months of articleship . [Total period is
five years to complete CA course]
( b) The period of training is 3 1/2 years in respect of PCC students as they start
training soon after passing 10+2 and CPT examinations and can write PCC examination
after 18 months of articleship. Such students are eligible to write final examnation after
compeltion of prescribed period of articleship i.e. 3 1/2 years. [Total period is roughly
less than four years to complete CA course]
(c) A student after passing 10+2 and CPT examinations can register for IPCC and
after completion of nine months of study course which also includes ITT and orientation
course can write IPCC examination. After passing Group I of IPCC, he can register for
articles and the period of articleship is three years. Such students are eligible to write
final examnation during their last six months of articleship. [Total period is roughly
more than four years to complete CA course].
So, institute has treated all students are equal in getting education in the field of
accountancy.
B) As you aware registration for PE-II and PCC were already discontinued and only
examination are conducted to facilitate the student to complete the course within the
prescribed time frame. And also it is informed to all students when will be held last
examination either in PE-II and PCC.
As per the regulation of IPCC (which is available on our web site also) all students of
Intermediate/ PE-II/ PCC students can convert to IPCC.
