CS Executive 2026 Eligibility: Age, Qualification, Nationality & Attempt Limits

CS Executive 2026 eligibility criteria

Candidates who have passed the CS Foundation examination are eligible to appear for the CS Executive programme. Graduates or postgraduates in any discipline (except Company Secretaryship) from a recognized university are eligible for direct entry to the Executive programme without appearing for the Foundation. Candidates who have passed the CA Foundation/CPT are also eligible for exemption from CS Foundation. There is no minimum percentage requirement for graduation for direct entry. Students in the final year of graduation may also register provisionally.

Before you apply

• Confirm your Class 12 stream matches the required subject combination.
• Check the maximum age limit on the application date (not the exam date).
• Keep scans of photo ID, mark sheets, category certificate, and passport-size photo ready.
