Fee Waiver introduced to promote CS Education

To make professional education accessible and affordable to all, The Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI) has waived the fee for the students of Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh, Lakshadweep, Andaman & Nicobar Islands and North Eastern region for the CS Foundation and Executive programs.

The scheme is effective from September 1, 2019, said ICSI.

Students can join the ICAI professional courses either after the 10+2 exam or after graduation. Students who join the course after 10+2 have to undergo three stages of learning: Foundation, Executive and Professional and students who join the course after completing graduation can directly join from the Executive level.

ICAI functions under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. The members of the organization serve trade and industry and play an important role in the areas of Corporate Laws, Securities Laws, Corporate Governance, advocacy and appearances before the Tribunals and other authorities.
