ICAI has introduced the Digital Practical Training (E-Diary) System, a digital platform for Article Assistants and Principals, launched by the Board of Studies – Operations. This system becomes mandatory for students starting practical training on or after 1st January 2026.
Key Features include:
- Structured digital recording of daily work
- Fortnightly reporting and monitoring
- Real-time tracking of attendance and assignments
- Streamlined management of leave and training events
- Deemed approval system for governance and accountability
This initiative aims to simplify administration, reduce compliance burdens, and enhance the quality and transparency of practical training. The transition to a paperless system is expected to foster a more efficient, tech-driven training environment.
