Findings
Most of the students join CA profession after they completed their graduation

No educational institute such as universities or colleges didn’t provide any

guidelines or motivate to choose this career to its students

Most of the CA students think that the length of CA articleship should be not
more than 2.5 years

The study material they are getting is very poor and not enough to pass the
exam.
Inconvenient Class timing & Class system

The exams leave of ICAB is 60 days for one level which is very low. Most
of the CA students think it should be more than 70 days

The allowance structure for the CA student is too low. As per as the
regulation of ICAB the minimum allowance is 4 thousand taka. Most of the
CA students state that the allowances of a CA student should be around
10 thousand as they have to work from 9 am to 5 pm on a daily basis.
During this Covid-19 pandemic time some of the students are receiving their
monthly allowance properly where a significant portion of students do not
getting their monthly allowances , hence they are suffering a huge financial
crisis.

Even after facing this financial crisis most of the CA students have to work 9
am to 5 pm on a daily basis, where most of them are having concern with the
safety issues.

Due to the reason of Covid-19 the transport fare increased significantly as a

result many of the CA student are hoping to get some type of financial aid but
still now a significant portion of students are not getting anything from their
firm.
