The wait is almost over for thousands of Company Secretary aspirants. The Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI) will declare the results of the Company Secretary Executive Entrance Test (CSEET) for the October 2026 session on Sunday, November 15, at 2 pm. Candidates who appeared for the exam will be able to check their scores on the institute’s official website, icsi.edu.
The result link will go live on the ICSI homepage at the scheduled time. Along with the result, candidates will also get a subject-wise breakup of their marks, and the formal e-Result-cum-Marks Statement will be uploaded soon after the declaration. The institute has made it clear that no physical copy of the marksheet will be issued, so candidates should download and save their scorecard for future use.
Exam held in early October
The CSEET October 2026 session was conducted between October 1 and October 6. The test is the entry-level examination for students who want to join the Company Secretary course offered by ICSI. Candidates who clear it become eligible to register for the CS Executive Programme, subject to the eligibility conditions laid down by the institute.
CSEET is held several times a year, and the October session is one of the biggest, drawing students from across the country who are planning a career in corporate governance, compliance and company law. For many of them, the result on November 15 will decide whether they can move to the next stage of the course without losing a session.
Minimum marks needed to qualify
To pass CSEET, a candidate must score at least 40 per cent marks in each subject and 50 per cent marks in aggregate. Those who meet both conditions will see PASS as their qualifying status on the result page. Candidates who fall short in any subject will have to appear again in a later session.
The institute will also release a provisional merit list and the list of toppers along with the pass percentage for the October session. Candidates are advised to check every detail printed on their marksheet, including their name, roll number and subject-wise scores, and to contact ICSI promptly if they spot any discrepancy.
How to check the CSEET October 2026 result
Checking the result takes only a few minutes. Candidates should keep their roll number and date of birth ready before they begin.
- Visit the official ICSI website at icsi.edu.
- Look for the CSEET October 2026 result link on the homepage once it is activated at 2 pm on November 15.
- Click the link to open the result login page.
- Enter your roll number and date of birth, then submit the details.
- Your result and subject-wise marks will appear on the screen.
- Download the e-Result-cum-Marks Statement and take a printout for your records.
Because a large number of candidates are expected to log in at the same time, the website may load slowly in the first few minutes after 2 pm. If the page does not open, candidates should wait a while and try again rather than refreshing repeatedly.
What comes next for qualified candidates
Candidates who qualify in the October session can register for the CS Executive Programme, the second stage of the Company Secretary course. The Executive Programme is followed by the Professional Programme, after which students complete practical training before becoming members of ICSI.
Meanwhile, ICSI has already announced the schedule for the next CSEET cycle. The February 2027 examination will be held from February 1 to February 4, 2027, and the online submission of enrolment applications for that session will begin on November 16, 2026. Students who do not clear the October session, or who missed it, can plan for the February attempt.
Why this result matters
The Company Secretary course remains one of the most sought-after professional qualifications in India, with demand for trained company secretaries rising as compliance and governance rules tighten across listed companies, startups and public sector firms. A pass in CSEET is the first formal step on that path, and the November 15 result will set the tone for the next academic cycle for thousands of students.
Candidates should rely only on the official ICSI website for their results and avoid third-party links or messages claiming to offer early access to scores. The result will be available only through icsi.edu after 2 pm on November 15.
