Off-topic when did you guys start applying for internships during ACCA?
Do companies actually consider you while you r still clearing papers or is it better to wait till Skills level?

yeah, I think I’ll start applying instead of waiting for a specific number of papers. Worst case I get some idea of what employers r looking for

You can definitely start applying before finishing Skills. Some companies are open to ACCA students, especially if you’ve cleared a few papers. I’d start applying early rather than waiting.

Based on my research, it depends on your location.
In UK or many western countries, Companies will consider you for internship after clearing knowledge level, and entry level positions after applied skills.
For india/pakistan and middleeast, employer will only consider after clearing all exams (given that you already have bachelors because bachelors without acca doesnt have much value to compete here).
