Institute of Company Secretaries of India

The Company Secretary (CS) course is one of India’s most prestigious professional qualifications in corporate governance, legal compliance, and strategic management. Conducted by the Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI), the program equips students with the expertise required to guide businesses in adhering to laws, maintaining transparency, and making sound corporate decisions.

At Navkar Institute, we are dedicated to shaping future-ready Company Secretaries through a comprehensive and practical learning approach. Our expert faculty, structured study plans, and case-based learning help students master every stage of the CS course — Executive Entrance Test (CSEET), Executive Programme, and Professional Programme. We emphasize conceptual clarity, legal interpretation skills, and strategic thinking, preparing students to excel in examinations and in their professional careers.

The CSEET serves as the entry-level stage, open to students who have completed or are appearing for Class 12. It tests fundamental knowledge in areas like Business Communication, Legal Aptitude, Economic and Business Environment, and Current Affairs. As students advance through the Executive and Professional stages, they gain deep insights into company law, taxation, securities laws, corporate restructuring, and governance — evolving into skilled professionals ready to lead in the corporate world.
