I've this query regarding Company secretary course. When a candidate clears CS professional , he is said to have become licentiate member of the institute.
Now if there is a govt. job advertisement regarding a post as a junior / assistant / officer in secretarial cadre of company.
If i get a job in this firm , and later on acquire associate membership of the institute, what will be my post qualification experience ?
Will my experience as a junior officer be treated as a post qualification experience (which i doubt will not be) for any further job openings of CS?
In short , what will be my total post qualification experience in above scenario on the date i acquire ACS membership ?

Dear Rohit, the day you get your degree (once you clear exam) in hand from the institute, any experience post that-junior/senior is considered as a post qualification experience.
In case you acquire membership later, its fine as long as while working in the given job you were a qualified CS.
I know many CAs/CSs who passed 15 year back but never applied for a membership. The idea is from " post degree" onwards. Actual date of receiving membership is not relevant.
