CSEET

The ICSI Company Secretary Executive Entrance Test (CSEET) is a national-level entrance examination conducted by the Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI). This examination serves as the entry-level qualification for students aspiring to pursue the Company Secretary (CS) course, one of India's most prestigious professional qualifications in corporate governance, law, and business management. The CSEET was introduced in 2020 to replace the earlier admission system, making it mandatory for all candidates seeking admission to the Executive Programme of the CS course. The ICSI is a statutory professional body established under an Act of Parliament, responsible for regulating and developing the profession of Company Secretaries in India. The CSEET is conducted entirely in computer-based mode, ensuring transparency and efficiency in the examination process. The test evaluates candidates' aptitude, communication skills, business environment awareness, and logical reasoning abilities, which are essential for the CS profession. Top institutes and professional training centres across India offer coaching for the CSEET, including both online and classroom programmes. Upon clearing the CSEET and subsequently the Executive and Professional levels, candidates earn membership to ICSI and become qualified Company Secretaries, holding key positions in corporate compliance, governance, and legal advisory roles in major companies, law firms, and consulting organisations throughout India and abroad.
