ICSI to switch over to online registration for its course

NEW DELHI, Dec 6:  With an aim to provide efficient and any time service to students, the Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI) has decided to completely shift to online registration for its course, effective January 1, 2014.

In a statement issued today, ICSI said those seeking to register for its course on ‘Company Secretaryship’ will only be able to do so through the Institute’s online platform.

‘Company Secretaryship’ is the flagship programme of ICSI and a person completing this course, both examination and training, is enrolled as a member and becomes eligible to work as a company secretary either in employment or in practice.

“A student interacts with the institute mainly for two purposes. First, he seeks registration to various levels of the course, namely, Foundation, Executive and Professional Programme. Second, he seeks enrollment to examinations for various modules of each of the three levels,” ICSI said.

The Institute had moved to online enrollment for examination from October 1, 2013, while it has decided to move to online registration from January 1, 2014.

ICSI is a premier national professional body to develop and regulate the profession of Company Secretaries. It has over 35,000 members and over 4 lakh students on its roll. (PTI)
