Registration Deadline Approaches

New Delhi: The Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI) will close the registration process for the November 2024 Company Secretary Executive Entrance Test (CSEET) on October 15, 2024. Candidates aiming to become Company Secretaries should submit their applications before the deadline to qualify for the exam, which is scheduled for November 9, 2024.

CSEET serves as a key requirement for entry into the Company Secretary (CS) course. Upon registering, candidates receive access to virtual teaching sessions organized by ICSI.

The exam covers four subjects: Business Communication, Legal Aptitude and Logical Reasoning, Economic and Business Environment, and Current Affairs with Quantitative Aptitude. The remote-proctored exam format enables candidates to take the test from any location in India, with strict online monitoring. To pass, candidates must score at least 50% overall and 40% in each paper. There is no negative marking.

Candidates should be aware that calculators, pens, and paper are not allowed during the exam. Additionally, the University Grants Commission (UGC) recognizes the CS qualification as equivalent to a Master’s degree.

Eligibility for the CSEET includes students who have completed or are currently pursuing their 12th standard. Exemptions apply to graduates with at least 50% marks, postgraduates, and those who have passed foundation levels from ICSI or final levels from ICAI or ICMAI.

The CSEET is conducted four times a year. The next session is set for January 2025. For more details, candidates can visit the official ICSI website ICSI – Instructions
