i too have heard about it. i think only firms have received notice about it & its not public till yet..Further more as fas as i know it is applicable from july 2012 so nothing gud for now
@bilalfcaWoA.Could you please mention the source of this news?I couldn't find it on ICAP's website.ICAP changed the articleship period only a couple of years ago so changing it again so soon seems a little weird.
Thanks bilal.sardar and bilalfca for sharing this info before ICAP announced it.
ICAP has finally uploaded it

The change in training period applies to contracts registered from December 2011 while the change in stipend rates applies to all contracts.

Assalam u Alaikum...
i didnt hear this dear...i hv read the ICAP notification about stipend rates mentioning 4 yr articles for 4 yr graduates or masters from ICAP recognised institutes. but it dznt mention anything about 3.5 yrs for all ca students )
n i hope its not..3 yr opportunity is a charm ..although not easily attainable )
