The Institute of Company Secretaries of India has officially released the admit cards for the Company Secretary Executive and Professional examinations scheduled to be held in December 2025. This marks an important step for thousands of aspirants preparing to appear for the biannual CS examinations, which are considered among the most significant professional qualification tests in the corporate and compliance sector.
Candidates can now access their admit cards by visiting the official website of the Institute. To download the hall ticket, candidates must log in using their registration number and date of birth. The admit card serves as the primary document for entry into the exam hall and contains essential information, including the examination date, session timings, centre location, reporting time, and the modules or papers for which the candidate is registered.
The Institute has urged all candidates to check the details printed on the admit card carefully. This includes verifying the spelling of their name, photograph, signature, registration number, and exam centre address. In the event of any discrepancy, candidates should immediately reach out to the ICSI helpline or email the support team for correction. Timely action is crucial, as errors left unresolved may cause issues on the day of the examination.
The admit card also lists a set of guidelines that candidates must follow during the examination. Students are instructed to carry a valid photo identification proof such as Aadhaar card, PAN card, passport, or driving licence along with the admit card. The Institute has also emphasised that candidates must report to the examination centre well before the scheduled time to undergo verification and seating procedures.
For the December 2025 session, the Executive and Professional examinations will be conducted in offline mode across multiple exam centres throughout India and select international locations. The Institute has made arrangements to ensure smooth conduct of the exams, keeping in mind the number of applicants and logistical requirements. Candidates have been advised to familiarise themselves with the exam centre route beforehand to avoid delays on the examination day.
The CS Executive programme serves as the intermediate stage of the Company Secretary course, while the Professional programme represents its final level. Both stages test candidates on corporate law, tax practices, governance, secretarial audit, and related professional competencies. The December 2025 cycle is expected to witness a large turnout of examinees, given the rising demand for qualified Company Secretaries across sectors.
The Institute has reminded aspirants to adhere strictly to exam day protocols, including restrictions on electronic devices, study materials, and communication tools. Only permitted stationery items are allowed inside the examination hall. Candidates should also review the detailed instructions provided in their admit card to ensure compliance with all examination rules.
With the release of the admit card, candidates now have a clearer view of their examination schedule, enabling them to plan their final revision more efficiently. The Institute has encouraged all examinees to stay focused, follow the guidelines, and utilise the remaining preparation days effectively.
