Exemption Eligibility and its Validity on the basis of Marks

A student who secured at least 60% marks in any subject(s) and at least 25% marks in remaining subject(s) is eligible for exemption from appearing on those subjects he scored at least 60% in the upcoming exams.
 
The point to be noted is that a student shall satisfy both conditions i.e.
1.60% marks in any subject(s), and
2.25% marks in remaining subject(s)
 
For ex; if an executive level student scored 65 marks in Economic and commercial laws (ECL), 30 marks in Company accounts and Auditing Practices (CAAP) & 24 in Capital Market and securities laws (CMSL). He is not eligible for claiming exemption on ECL, because he failed to secure 25 % marks in CMSL.

Optional Subject in Professional Programme of ICSI

 

First, I congratulate you in clearing executive level

When it comes to registration to professional programme, main hurdle you may face may be of selecting an optional subject which will aid you in your career growth as a CS/PCS (for some it may be about a scoring subject which may be used to clear third module). Whatever be the reason you will be required to select a subject.

Following are the optional subjects available in third module

1. Banking Law and Practice
2. Capital, Commodity and Money Market
3. Insurance Law and Practice
4. Intellectual Property Rights-Law and Practice
5. International Business -Laws and Practices.

Before getting into the main context, following are the main features of optional subject.

  • Institute of Company Secretaries of India takes the lead among the professional institutions in launching open book examination. Open book examination allow students to make use of hardcopy materials like Study Material, Scanners, Bare Acts, Class Notes etc…while answering the questions.
  • Any student can change their optional subject any time. (request for change in optional subject shall be given before submitting exam application form)
  • Appearing on open book examination with the intention of simply writing as stated in study material (ie reading from the study material and writing in answer book simultaneously) may not serve purpose. Most of your time will be consumed for reading and then writing the same on your answer paper. Instead you should study the optional subject in advance like other subjects in professional level.

A brief analysis of optional subjects are given below Continue reading
