The CS Executive programme registration can be done online through the Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI) in order to appear for the exam in June 2023. The second level of an ICSI course is called the CS Executive Programme. CSEET is the first level, while CS Professional Programme is the last or capstone level. The CS Executive test is held twice a year by ICSI, in June and December. However, enrollment in the CS Executive programme is offered all year long. There are two ways to sign up for the CS Executive Program course: the direct path and the CSEET route. According to the new syllabus, the eight Executive Programme papers are the following and, in this blog, we will discuss them.
You would be qualified to appear in all groups of the Executive Program examination to be held in June 2023 if you passed the CSEET in November 2022 and registered for the programme up to and including November 30, 2022.
The CSEET Pass is good for one year. This means that the CS Executive enrollment date and the CSEET result date cannot be more than a year apart. CSEET 2023 exam will be conducted four times in a year.. For instance, if your CSEET result was reported as passing on November 21, 2022, you must enroll in the CS Executive course by November 20, 2023, at the latest.
Before planning to start the preparation, the students must know about the exam details, patterns and syllabus of CS Executive.
