The results for the December 2024 Company Secretary (CS) examinations have been officially announced by the Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI), marking a significant milestone for candidates who have undertaken these professional exams. The ICSI released the results for both the Professional and Executive Programme examinations on February 25, 2025.
For the CS Professional Programme, the results were made public at 11 am, followed by the Executive Programme results later at 2 pm on the same day. Interested candidates can conveniently access their results by visiting the official ICSI website. They will need to provide their roll number and date of birth to view their scores and the subject-wise marks distribution.
For those eager to know who excelled, the ICSI has published the names of the rank holders. Among the top candidates for the new syllabus of the Professional Programme are Yashee Dharam Mehta, P Nithin Theja, and Parvinder Kaur, occupying the top three ranks. The old syllabus also sees impressive performers, with Kashish Gupta leading the pack. The full list of rank holders across both syllabi has been shared on the official results page.
With the examination results freshly released, some candidates may feel uncertain about their performance. To address this, the ICSI has opened the facility for marks verification starting on February 26, 2025, allowing candidates who are dissatisfied with their scores to request a review. This verification window will remain open until March 18, 2025, providing ample time for candidates to take action.
To apply for marks verification, candidates are directed to the official SMASH portal at smash.icsi.edu. They will need to log in using their username and password, navigate to the “Verification of Marks” section, choose the subjects they wish to verify, and pay a non-refundable fee of INR 250 per subject. It’s important for applicants to keep their confirmation page after submitting the requests for future reference.
This process is not just bureaucratic; it is significant as it holds considerable weight for candidates aspiring to secure successful careers as Company Secretaries. The exams conducted by the ICSI represent key gateways to the profession, allowing individuals to demonstrate their capabilities and commitment to this career.
Given the competitive nature of the field, such measures to verify performance reflect the emphasis on transparency and fairness within the examination process. The ICSI encourages candidates to utilize these opportunities for verification if they believe their results do not accurately reflect their efforts.
To conclude, the ICSI’s release of the December 2024 examination results marks both closure for many and the start of new opportunities for those engaged in the Company Secretary course. Candidates are encouraged to check their results and to participate actively if they seek clarification on their marks through the verification process. This initiative not only elevates the integrity of the examination but also serves as a reminder of the importance of diligence and excellence within the professional sector of company secretarial practices.
