Questions candidates ask
How do Visakhapatnam salaries compare with other cities for CA article trainees?+
Against the national bands shown above, compensation in Visakhapatnam runs close behind the metros — strong Tier-2 markets typically price 10–20% under metro offers, with cost of living more than making up the gap. A listing's own stated range always beats any benchmark — read it first.
What is industrial training and should I do it?+
In the final phase of articleship you can move from your firm to an eligible company — banks, NBFCs, fintechs and large corporates — for 9–12 months. If you want an industry (not practice) career, it is the strongest signal you can put on a fresher CA CV, and it frequently converts into a job offer.
How much stipend does articleship pay?+
ICAI prescribes a minimum that rises with city size and training year, but actual stipends range widely — from the institute floor at small practices to ₹10,000–25,000+ per month at large and mid-size firms in metros. Weigh stipend against work exposure; exposure compounds, stipend does not.

How often are new openings added?+
