Questions related to CSEET

Have a question related to CSEET ?

Hello Bhoomika,

Yes, you can register early for the CSEET exam, but the system typically assigns you to the next available session based on your registration date.

If you wish to take the exam in July 2025 but register in December 2024, you will need to wait until the July session opens for registration.

The Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI) offers four sessions a year (January, May, July, November). Once the registration for the July session is open, you can select it while registering. Until then, you can still access study materials through ICSI resources or preparatory courses.

Hope it helps !

Yes, as a law graduate, you can directly apply for the CS or Executive Program without needing to pass the CSEET, regardless of your percentage.
