27. The existing training requirements include :

(a) fifteen months training with a company or under a Practicing Company Secretary;
(b) fifteen days training in the office of ROC/Stock Exchange/Financial or Banking Institution/Management Consultancy
Firm etc. and
(c) fifteen days Secretarial Modular Training Programme

The Task Force set up by the Council of the ICSI has recommended introduction of the following new trainings :

(a) Seven days Student Induction Programme (SIP) to be completed by a student within six months of registration to the
Executive Programme (Intermediate)
(b) Eight days Executive Development Programme (EDP) to be completed after passing the Executive Programme
(c) Fifteen days Management Skills Orientation Programme (MSOP) after passing Professional Programme (Final)

It is one of the point of ICSI Vision plan 2020 questionarrie.

And they have asked the current CS to reply upon the proposed change.

but Members have given the negative reply as after the implementation of new training programme they will not find the cs inter passed student to work as an article for only rs. 500 to 1500.

members want the articles at nearly the free remuneration

So, members will tried their best to reject the proposal. and institute is thinking for not adopting the new training programme.
