Hello Alisha!

The CS Exam is conducted by a government-recognized body, the Institute of Company Secretaries of India. However, the relation of the CS Exam with immediate Government jobs is no direct correlation. Instead, it is a professional certification to be a Company Secretary in India for the purpose of practicing corporate governance, compliance, and legal advisory.

Of course, besides a lot of private sector opportunities available and afterwards after passing CS exams, employment opportunities in the public sector are also there, although government jobs for Company Secretaries also exist on the platter, predominantly in Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) or regulatory bodies like SEBI or RBI, it so does not guarantee an immediate job in the government. Instead, the certifications open doors to numerous career paths in corporate and legal fields.

CS Exam Syllabus:

• Foundation Level

For students who have completed 12th:

• Business Environment
• Business Laws
• Ethics and Entrepreneurship
• Business Economics
• Accounting and Auditing

Executive Level (immediately after Foundation or directly after completing the degree programme):

• Company Law
• Securities Laws
• Tax Laws
• Corporate Management

Professional Level: Advanced topics in governance, finance, and laws.

Passing all three levels will pave the way to become a qualified Company Secretary.

Thankyou!
