Eligibility for CS

I have completed B.com now I want to do CS so will you please provide me the information about the Eligibility for CS course?

[Quick Sam]

As you are asking about the eligibility for the Company Secretary course. So for your help here I am giving you the information about it:

As per my knowledge there is no percentage criterion. Soto take admission into the CS course you have to pass +2 level of examination from a recognized board, you may apply for the course.

As you said that you have completed B.Com so now, you are a graduate you have no need to give the Foundation Program of the course. So you can directly register for the second stage of the course called Executive Program.

The Institute of Company Secretaries of India is the council. It conducts this course. The Institute of Company Secretaries of India does not conducts any entrance examination for considering students for admission into the company secretary course.
