About the CSEET Examination
The CSEET serves as the gateway to the Company Secretary (CS) professional qualification. Administered by the Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI), the test assesses candidates’ aptitude for the rigorous CS Executive Programme. Passing CSEET is a compulsory step before advancing to higher levels of the CS course.
The CS profession focuses on corporate governance, compliance management, and legal advisory within businesses. This career path involves ensuring companies adhere to legal and regulatory frameworks. The CSEET helps filter candidates suitable for these demanding roles.
The November 2025 CSEET will be conducted online through a remote proctored system. This allows candidates to take the examination from their homes or other designated secure locations. Participants need a computer equipped with a webcam and a reliable internet connection.
The examination is structured into four distinct papers. These include Business Communication, Legal Aptitude & Logical Reasoning, Economic & Business Environment, and Current Affairs. Each paper is worth 50 marks, making the total examination 200 marks. Candidates must achieve a minimum of 40% in each individual paper.
