Quick Summary
This discussion examines the possibility of regulatory bodies, such as ICAI and ICSI, launching an Initial Public Offering (IPO). While these organisations are defined as 'body corporates' under the Companies Act 2013, the consensus is that they are not profit-oriented entities and are established by Acts of Parliament. Therefore, they are unlikely to be able to issue an IPO in the conventional sense, unlike commercial companies.

No., ICSI/ICAI/ICMAI Or other institutes, are not profit oriented entities, they are regulator on their own set up by act of Parliament, So I don't think so Educational Institute can bring IPO, Like For ICSI authority is MCA and sure for others,even assume for second they brought their debt securities to be listed, then I don't think so anyone will subscribe it...Its not a company Like SBI, But future is dynamic and may be that IIM/IIT/ ICSI/ICAI /ICMAI May get their debt securities listed on Education stock exchange (But it seems impractical)...

Law does not works on what Ur thoughts are. Just stick to the question is it allowed for such institute to bring in an IPO

Regulatory bodies are governed by special Acts so they cannot come up with ipo.
