Usually most students do not submit their response sheets and still they are allowed to attend Executive and Professional Programme examination. Yes, it is not mandatory, but I would suggest it is in your best interest to attempt those question papers and submit it as it can provide you at least a macro view of the syllabus that you are pursuing. Please note that there will be change in Syllabus and other important developments taking place around us with respect to areas of GST, DTC, Banking Regulation Act, Company Law, etc.

Wish you best of luck.

Nehal.

At the end of the study material for each subject there are 5 test series given for a candidate to attempt. From these a candidate may choose to answer any ONE among the test series 3 or test series 4 or test series 5 and submit it to your respective branch or chapter (Download the title sheet from ICSI website and attach it along with your answer sheets) within the cut-off dates to appear for the earliest examination.

Note: Despite not submitting these test papers candidates are permitted to appear in that term's examination. However, it’s recommended to submit these response sheets in order to assess your level of preparation for the main examination.
