Hi,

Completion of 15 month training is must for the ICSI membership. Without membership of ICSI qualifying exams won’t help you a lot in your career.

Updated New Company Secretary Training Provisions

1. Applicability: Students enrolled for Company Secretary (CS) course on or after 1 st September 2009.

2. Student Induction Program (SIP): Students shall complete SIP Within 6 months of Registration for CS Executive Programme. SIP is a 7 full days training programme
(introduced for the very first time). SIP will be conducted by ICSI's Regional Councils like
NIRC, SIRC, EIRC & WIRC and 'A' & 'B' grade Chapters as provided inwww. icsi .e du. To
register for SIP, only physical application shall be made to the nearest ICSI chapter along
with a fees of Rs.1,000/-

3. Executive Development Program (EDP): EDP is the new name of erstwhile Training Orientation Programme (TOP). EDP is a 8 full days (instead of 5 days as earlier) training
programme. EDP as a pre-requisite for Training which shall be done after passing CS
Executive Programme Exams remains as such. To register for EDP, only physical application
shall be made to the nearest ICSI chapter along with a fees of Rs.1,000/

4. Professional Development Program (PDP): PDP is the new name of erstwhile Academic Development Programme (ADP) which remains for the period of 25 hours. PDP's are the
lectures, seminars, etc...conducted by ICSI on daily basis or weekend basis or half-day basis
and will have PDP hours mentioned in it. PDP's will be counted after completion of
Executive Development Programme (EDP) and during the course of CS Training. It shall be
completed before applying for ACS Membership.

EDP and other similar small training are required to be completed before joining or starting 15 months main training. And this 15 month training is must for ICSI membership.

So in this way without completing EDP ICSI will not allow you to start 15 months training. And without 15 month training you can not apply for CS membership.

ICSI membership number is must for CS Job or CS practice.

Agreed with mr. Richanak Garg. with out doing edp and other trainings you can not get membership of ICSI institute.and can,t participate in institutes's campus placement and can't work as COMPANY SECRETARY.
