If we assume 10000 student appear for CA CPT (i.e level 1), 25 % clear and shift to CA PCC
Of these 2500 students appearing for CA PCC (i.e. level 2) , 8 % (May 2008 official figure) clear and shift to CA Final. i.e. Out of 2500, 200 students clear.
Of these 2 students appearing for CA Final (i.e. last level), 6% clear (May 2010 official figure) i.e. out of these 200 only, 12 become CA :
i.e. Out of 10000 students register for CA course, only 12 students ultimately become CA Those 12 too exhaust themselves after 3.5 years of article ship and just want to get rid off the course. In May 2010 exam, around 900 candidates became CA, the number which is less than total number of seats in IIM ABC
In turn, IIMs dont offer work experience status to that articleship :lookround: Although they have started recognizing by giving additional weightage
Additional weightages to the articleship undergone or the completion of CA course? There are many students who after completing articleship haven't been able to clear CA finals.
And i am scratching my head over CAs who got 88percentile in CAT getting calls of iim-a,b,c.:lookround:

I didnt mean weightage for articleship I meant weightage for CA degree only.
But the thing that CAs with cat scores of 88-90 getting calls from iim-a,b,c is true,isn't it?:oops:
If you read my post carefully, only IIM B gives weightage. So I never talked about IIM A and C. And whats wrong?? If they are getting a call, why are u crying???
thanks buddy i m honoured n no yr its too tough to sail on 2 boats at same time plus b com so i dropped 1st grp in nov ll give it now in may 2011 & my mentor sir is more concerned with share market rather he is mesmerized by it so load of articleship is not much on me as his focus is there only so for 1.5 yrs i ve rather been a secretary to attend his calls that to with desirable holidays when u need 😃
& people stop complaining we people don't cry that u ve a entire exam set only for engg & with half competition get entry in most prestigious institutions of india

Who is crying? I am loving the fact. Hopefully, other premier institutes like iim-a,c;mdi,fms,xlri,isb also will start recognising our profession.:drinking::drinking::drinking: (sorry,i can only post emoticons here, as in my state, alcohol is banned.)

See this link: Powered by Google Docs " For all candidates in the first shortlist as stated in (1), candidates with Chartered Accountancy Professional course were eligible for weight under professional course. No other professional course is eligible for weight under professional course. The professional course score was also standardized for all candidates in the first shortlist."

U posted ur query on the wrong thread, mate.:lookround:
Yes IIM-B and now IIM-I too gives weight-age for CA. Also from CAT 2010 onwards IIM-B includes CWA and CS also along with CA for weighted score. Please read their shortlist criteria from their site.
I am the person who got call from IIM-B from CAT 2009 with 88 percentile but I didn't converted it. This time I scored 90% and I got calls from IIM-B,L,I,S and missed out IIM-K by 0.88 index score. Anyhow hoping for IIM-Rohtak,Raipur and Trichy.
So guys with CA and other professional qualification, heads up and cheer. IIM's big doors are opening for us guys. We are needed desperately.
if anybody says nobody gives weightage to articleship then he is an imbecile with an IQ in singe digits
Articleship is work experience for heavens sake.I am currently doing my articleship in a big mutinational.Its a form of intership dont know why people dont understand it

Bro, I too am a CA and it is sad but true that IIM's don't give weightage to articleship. In fact, you should accept the fact that it is not work experience. Even though by our heart we know it is work, it forms part of our curriculum. So by definition it is not work but articleship forming integral part of our course. Hope IIM's will change their view after some years.
well we cant wait for the world to change its view
Id suggest the topic starter to also apply to some foreign b-schools where there are advanced masters programmes in finance like Berkelys financial engineering programme
IIM Shillong and Kojikode have made an understanding with ICAI that they will recognise CA as eligible qua. for their FPM programme. But i doubt after slugging for 4 years and with family pressure;except for resident CAs from those cities;will other CAs use this facility. Had it been IIM-A,B,C;then maybe CAs would have spent some mins pondering on this.
But no1s mentioned JBIMS, NMIMS, Sydnem cas I stay at Mumbai. Is it worth spending 2 precious years at these schools ???????? :lookround:
Also 1 yr Exec course at IBS wud require Work-ex no as far as I know? :lookround:
Good to know abt the preference for CAs. Missed CAT this time. Appearing for CET now.. Will try for GMAT now maybe. Do I have any good options? Any good Exec. courses Indian/ Abroad u guys aware of ?? :lookround:
Also 1 friend told that IIMs r accepting GMAT scores this time. Is that true? :-P :
IIM's do accept GMAT scores. But the scores are in the range of 740+

Work experience as per IIMs is full time employment in a firm and some crap like that. Internship are not considered to be work-ex. Its not completely illogical. Just think about it.

Dude, as far as I know, CA and CWA are both recognized as post graduate equivalent for pursuing FPM in all IIM's. Check out their eligibility criteria.
