Student Angel,
For a moment there,,. I had my head scratching and thinking about PE2 and marks and joining articles... then I realised that you were in Mumbai.
I know we have some memebers from India here and hope they can answer your queries in more detail.
I can how ever tell you that getting into Big4 will be an uphill task for any one and it would take more than a few calls,.. you would want to visit them, meet their HR hiring partners/managers and at the same time look at other top 10/20 firms (since you may not want to waste any more time). Goes without saying that first time passes are important but not always necessary to get into a firm.
And going 'out station' is quite the possibility especially if you are part of the trade and commerce industry,.. however you may have very little travel outside of Bombay if you were part Financial Services group (you will find these specialisation, more so in the Big4 and perhaps top 10 firms)
