Our students lately were worried about shorter Stipend levels. I was of the view that if the stipend levels will rise, problem will again be faced by none else but students; and we have witnessed samething happening.
One of the country head of a big firm in a recent meeting told me that their average cost per trainee has gone around Rs. 15-20 thousand per month.
Here we are not discussing what an ideal situation should be, but what the fact actually is. All big firms have curtailed down the intake number of students merely for this one reason and I am telling you what is the major issue.
People praise "commercialization" and make good points in its favor. We have a thread which only focused on "stipend rates". However, they forget that this "commercialization" will also be taken care of by others. Certainly they will rework the margins, actual requirement, try to improve efficiency and reduce costs.
So, the positive intent to benefit upcoming generations is now getting replaced by commercial approach. This is not happening in Pakistan only. You can see it around the globe.
The question raised by Ali is of significance and is very critical. Although I believe he will get a seat and the situation is not yet that grave, still, I just wish to tell him that in so many professions people do hard work but ultimately they avail nothing. So CA is not an exception. Everything in life is contingent.
Yet, I believe Ali will get a position in some firm soon as I said I believe situation is still not that grave.
Ali, where r u located at? Do send me your CV using e-mailing option of this forum. Also keep in loop if you get some entry anywhere.
Don't lose heart; I ensure you situation is yet not that deteriorated.

Kamran.
