i have pursued my graduation in BAF and right now im pursuing Masters in Banking and finance so what will be the steps for me to pursue company secretary course?

Dear Student,

So, when it comes to courses like CA and CS, the duration of the course may vary depending on the number of attempts required to pass all of the tests, but it is undoubtedly one of the most commonly asked questions. So, to begin, let us examine the course structure:

As you may be aware, Company Secretary is separated into three levels, which are as follows:

Foundation\sExecutive\sProfessional

After 9 months of passing the previous level, one can sit for the next level exam. However, because the tests are only held in June and December, the interval is practically 12 months. So it will take THREE YEARS to complete all of the examinations.

Apart from the tests, the student must complete the following necessary trainings (new training structure for students who enrol for the course from April 1, 2014):

All students who cleared their Executive on or after August 25, 2015 are eligible for the 15-day Academic Program. This training is further subdivided as follows:

2 days Program of Induction

3 days of e-government

Five days of skill development

5 days of Entrepreneurial Development

After passing the Professional level, you will be required to attend a 15-day Management Skills Orientation Program (MSOP).

After completing the Foundation, Executive, or Professional levels, either 3 or 2 or 1 year(s) of Long Term Internship with designated entities.

Based on the foregoing, we may deduce that the duration of the course, including the internship, is as follows if all levels are passed on the first try:

If the internship is pursued after Foundation, the total time will be ONE YEAR OF FOUNDATION + THREE YEARS OF INTERNSHIP (while taking the Executive and Professional exams) = FOUR YEARS.

If the internship is undertaken after Executive, the total time will be ONE YEAR FOUNDATION + ONE YEAR EXECUTIVE + TWO YEARS INTERNSHIP (while applying for Professional) = FOUR YEARS.

If the internship is pursued after Professional, the total time will be ONE YEAR FOUNDATION + ONE YEAR EXECUTIVE + ONE YEAR PROFESSIONAL + ONE YEAR INTERNSHIP = FOUR YEARS.

SCOPES and ROLES -

It has a lot of potential in the future, thanks to the new Companies Act of 2013. It is getting more widespread as the corporate sector expands.

Cs is the company's sole compliance officer. It serves as a liaison between the BOD and the company.

In terms of knowledge, a company secretary is well-versed in finance, corporate law, corporate governance, the stock market, and so on.

A business secretary can also serve as a legal counsel, a managing director, and so on. There is no doubting that the position of company secretary is one of the highest paid in India. Even those who run their own practise can make a good living. A newcomer can easily earn 3-5 lakhs per year.

It is entirely up to you how focused and dedicated you are to your profession.

Good luck.
