Well , NO.That's what my experience was.We students are left only with the “trial and error method”, just keep loging in into the Dashboard , one day you may find that windows are open. And there is not a single notification for students that the online registration of ITT and OP requires the Demand Draft no. too.I am from Indore (M.P.) , and the Indore branch of CIRC of ICAI, hosts the highest number of batches of ITT and OP in the CIRC. So if we students in Indore gets it from the air (ofcourse the classmates ) that the windows are open, until the moment we get to the dashboard and look for the seets, there are no seets left, and if by luck we get free seets and start filling the form of registration , there comes a text box requiring DD no. Now, how the hell are we supposed to get a DD. ready in advance when we don't even know when the window is going to open. If we rush to a bank, surprise!! seets are full.So instead of running towards a bank the students of Indore fill up a fake DD no. and then after registering , we login into the Dashboard and delete our seets, the same seets are again reflected in the ‘available․ column and we re-register it with a correct DDno. and if someone is unlucky performing this stunt may loose him the seet to other “predator" student trying to find an empty seet , that's why we do it in the midnight so the chances of loosing a seet are low.My father is also a CA , and when it came into my knowledge , that our respected Institute has this type of discrepancy in internal control and management systems, I complained about it to my father. He talked to the branch manager and told me not to re register sent me to the branch office with the DD and registration acknowledgement with that fake DD no on it.When I told about this to the manager, the office staff started laughing at me saying why did you do this stupid thing, they were tossing me here and there, Then i called my father telling about the same , he came and took “the class” of everyone there and specially that one person he came to know who harasses the student most. My father was too angry on this “sarkari-karan” of our prestigious institution.They didn't know i am a CA- child ;P.I found it my duty to solve this issue . And later , during my mails to the Board of Studies,came to know that no one in the whole institute knows about it.These were my mails and replies-Respected Sir,My students' registration no. is CRO ****”” ( Pou Name - Indore ) . May I please ask you about the relevance of registering for future batch of ITT And OT in section "Apply for Future Batch "of the Cloud Campus Site of our Institute. As I did it on 30th January 2024 with a view that institute will inform me about conduction and registration of ITT/OT. Personally, I thought that I will do my preparations for the IPCC examinations ,to be held from 3rd may 2024. and after appearing in exam , I will perform a daily check on the window of Course Registration for ITT and OT and will get it done as early as possible (and that is what all my seniors , i.e articles in my Fathers CA firm, suggested me as per their experience). I am also a student of ICAI - City (ICAI's coaching classes) of IPCC group 1, which are being conducted in the city office of Indore Chapter. And I asked about the opening time and date of ITT window to the receptionist of city office (Vishal ji) , and he also replied that he doesn't know about it .But today a friend of mine,who is also a student of ICAI -CIty in the same batch, called me and said that the online registration window has been opened today and all the registrations have been full till August batch.Please make it clear that, why is here a gray area about opening of ITT registration window? When I was registering in waiting list ,there was not enough information describing the function of "Apply for Future Batch ", I considered that I've dropped my name in waiting list and probably institute will mail me that the window is opened or something , but nothing came over and today and only a news came from my friend , when i checked it myself by loging-in in cloud campus ,that news flushed my plans.Please tell me what should I do with that WaitListed number, How can I now be registered for the course and do I ,from now and every time later , have to drop a mail to BOS confirming what I have done in Cloud Campus, what does it mean for the Institute and what are it's functions?Thanking YouNavneet YadavCro **”””””””S/OC.A. ******””Mem.

All my Friends at the batch of ICAI's coaching classes were confused and asking here and where about it. It is the exam time , no student has time to tell about this to the Institute or "waste" a day.Tiwari Sir were very supportive and were listening to me and accepted my Registration acknowledgements with an application to the chairman.Please note that we want to help Institute improve and that is why I mailed you , me and my father visited chapter office because we wanted to inform the Institute what is happening on the ground and hidden from it. It is not only me but I've written from the side of all the suffered students.Please Inform about the bug to the head of BoS, and make cloud campus a better place.Thanks.On Fri, Apr 17, 2024 at 11:08 AM, Nidhi Aggarwal-ICAI\BoS\Noida 62 nidhi.aggarwal@icai.in wrote:Dear Student,We have contacted the Indore Branch and forwarded your mail to them for needful action.

Butat the completion of batch we were told that we have to give Online feedback by logging ininto the Dashboard through which we did our course registration, we were informed that itis compulsory to do so. As though we were given the manual forms too, to give the feedback.Our whole batch is trying to give the online feedback since the next day but the portal says "no records found".Although, the complaint was not taken that sincerely.The only solution is to introduce digital payment options like we have for exam forms, and prepare a system to notify the students.I don't know about other cities but that's a big issue the students of Indore face.Whatever said, the professionalism and glory of our prestigious institution should not be questioned for only this one thing.PS. My first answer in Quora:) and apologies,I don't have Qura- Level command over EnglishEdit: Card payment system has been added in registration of ITT and OP too.
