To complete your mandatory orientation requirements for the CS Executive Programme, you should first identify which program applies to your registration date, as the requirements have changed recently.
Determining Your Requirement
-
If you registered on or after February 1, 2025: You are required to complete the Three Days Orientation Programme (TDOP).
-
If you registered between June 1, 2019, and January 31, 2025: You were required to complete the One Day Orientation Programme (ODOP).
-
Note: If you did not complete the ODOP by April 7, 2025, you are now required to complete the online Three Days Orientation Programme (TDOP) in lieu of the ODOP. This is provided through the LMS portal without additional fees.
How to Complete the Training
-
Check the ICSI Portal: Monitor the ICSI LMS portal for notifications regarding your eligibility and access to the online TDOP modules.
-
Contact Your Regional Chapter: Because ODOP and TDOP batches are often conducted by local ICSI Chapters, you should check the official ICSI Chapter pages for the latest schedules. Many chapters conduct these programs in physical (offline) mode.
-
Registration: If a physical batch is announced, follow the instructions (often via a Google Form link provided in the chapter's specific flyer) to register. Ensure you have your registration number and identity card details ready.
-
Completion: Upon completion, the attendance is updated, and a certificate is issued, which is a mandatory prerequisite for enrolling in your CS Executive examinations.
Summary:
If you registered for the CS Executive programme on or after February 1, 2025, or failed to complete your ODOP by April 7, 2025, you must now complete the mandatory Three Days Orientation Programme (TDOP). Check the ICSI LMS portal for online access or contact your nearest ICSI Regional Chapter to enroll in an upcoming batch.
