However, it is highly beneficial if one has a strong foundation in maths to excel in any field. While CS primarily deals with legal and administrative aspects of corporate governance, maths plays a significant role in various areas of their work. In the following words, Let me break it down for you in a quick manner:</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">I will first put forward the uses of mathematics in the Corporate world:</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Financial Analysis and Reporting</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">: CS is involved in financial analysis and reporting. They have to understand financial statements analyse data, and interpret financial ratios. Mathematics. A solid understanding of mathematics is good for a CS to communicate financial insights to stakeholders effectively.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Compliance and Regulatory Framework</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">: Only a CS is responsible for ensuring compliance with various laws and regulations. While maths may not be directly involved in compliance activities, it helps comprehend numerical thresholds, calculate penalties, and understand quantitative aspects related to compliance obligations.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Corporate Finance</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">: Maths plays a crucial role in corporate finance, and CS frequently collaborates with finance teams on matters such as capital structure, investments, and valuation. Proficiency in mathematics enables CS to assess financial viability, analyse investment proposals, and contribute effectively to strategic decision-making.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Risk Management</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">: Maths is an integral part of risk management, a vital aspect of a CS role. They need to assess and manage various financial, legal, operational, and reputational risks.&nbsp;</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Corporate Governance and Board Support:</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">&nbsp;CS is responsible for facilitating board meetings, maintaining records, and ensuring compliance with corporate governance standards. Maths helps organise and analyse data, prepare reports, and maintain accurate records.&nbsp;</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">CAN I TAKE CS WITH BASIC MATHS?</span></strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Absolutely Yes!! You do not have to come from a Commerce or any mathematics-based field to pursue CS. That's The Beauty of CS course. However, it is good for a student if he belongs to a Commerce background or has little knowledge about commerce subjects. So here's the deal: when pursuing a Company Secretary qualification, having a strong foundation in basic maths can be super helpful. While CS doesn't heavily focus on complex mathematical concepts like calculus or trigonometry, it does involve a fair amount of number crunching.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Don't stress too much if you are not a math whiz. Basic maths skills like arithmetic, percentages, and ratios should be more than sufficient to handle the mathematical aspects of the CS course. You'll deal with financial statements, analyse data, and understand key financial concepts. It's like doing some accounting stuff, you know?</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">CS isn't all about numbers. It also covers various subjects like law, corporate governance, business management, and ethics. So, think only a little if you're more into legal and corporate stuff. You should be good to go as long as you have a decent grasp of basic maths.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">CAN I DO CS AFTER 12TH COMMERCE WITHOUT MATHS?</span></strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Dude! I am a Qualified CS Professional, and once a CS student can tell you, mathematics is never a requirement to become a qualified CS. You can pursue a CS course after completing your 12th in the commerce stream, even if you didn't take maths. Maths is not a mandatory requirement for CS.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">The CS course primarily focuses on law, finance, accounting, economics, and corporate governance. While having a strong foundation in maths can help you understand certain financial concepts, it's not a strict prerequisite.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Now, remember that CS involves some numerical aspects, like Financial Management and interpreting financial statements. Don't let that discourage you! You can handle the number game with a little extra effort and a positive mindset.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">IS THERE MATHS IN CS FOUNDATION/CSEET?</span></strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">CS Foundation had a subject related to Mathematics, but CS Foundation no longer exists. It has been replaced by CSEET, which has no maths-related subjects.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">At the Foundation/CSEET level, you'll encounter subjects like Business Communication, Legal Aptitude, Logical Reasoning and Economic and Business Environment. While these subjects don't heavily emphasise complex mathematical concepts, some numerical aspects are involved.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">You'll come across basic arithmetic, percentages, ratios, and a touch of basic algebra. It's more about applying these concepts to practical scenarios rather than diving deep into advanced math theories.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">The idea behind including some math in the Foundation/CSEET is to ensure aspiring Company Secretaries have a well-rounded understanding of business and financial concepts.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Don't sweat it! Suppose you're not a math enthusiast, with a little effort and some practice. In that case, you can handle the mathematical aspects of the Foundation/CSEET.

There is no such tangible parameter which can measure the toughness of both the courses. The difficulty level of a course depends on various factors, including your aptitude, interest, and prior knowledge in the relevant subjects.</p> <p> </p> <p dir="ltr">The CA course is known for its demanding curriculum and difficult exams. It covers a wide range of subjects like accounting, taxation, auditing, and financial management. The exams are notorious for being quite tough, and the pass rates can be quite low. The course mainly focuses on practical subjects rather than theoretical.</p> <p> </p> <p dir="ltr">Whereas, the CS course has its fair share of challenges in terms of huge syllabus. It focuses more on company law, corporate governance, and secretarial practices. It requires a solid understanding of legal and regulatory compliance. The exams can be tricky, and you need to stay on top of the ever-changing corporate rules and regulations.Meanwhile the CS has more of theoretical aspect in its course structure. </p> <p dir="ltr">It's worth noting that both courses require rigorous study dedication, and a thorough understanding of the respective subject matters. The difficulty level  in any professional course is subjective and varies from person to person. Some individuals may find certain aspects of one course more challenging, while others may excel in those areas.</p> <p dir="ltr">Ultimately, the choice between the CS and CA course should be based on your personal interests, career goals, and aptitude. It's advsable to carefully consider the curriculum, subject matter, and professional opportunities associated with each course before making a decision.</p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p dir="ltr">CAN A NON MATHEMATICS STUDENT PURSUE CS?</p> <p> </p> <p dir="ltr">Absolutely YES!

So you are curious about CS as a career option? Well, let me tell you it is definitely worth considering, especially if you are a person from a commerce background. Well, It is worth noting that the cost involved in pursuing the course is minimal and can be pursued by any student belonging to any class of the society. Apart from that there is neither any AGE barrier nor any CASTE reservations which make it more attractive as a career option. </p> <p> </p> <p dir="ltr">It provides two types of career options as a CS. One is as a CS in Employment, another one is CS as a Practitioner.</p> <p> </p> <p dir="ltr">Now Let's talk about CS in Employment</p> <p> </p> <ul> <li dir="ltr"> <p dir="ltr">CS is a highly respectable job in India coupled with legal responsibility. As a CS in Employment, you'll be responsible for ensuring that a company operates within legal and regulatory frameworks.

Gone are the days, when the role of CS was only confined to secretarial compliances and maintaining statutory books. As businesses continue to grow and expand globally, the need for skilled professionals who can navigate complex legal and regulatory landscapes will only increase. Company Secretaries will be in high demand to ensure that companies adhere to ever-changing laws and regulations, both domestically and internationally.</p> <p> </p> <p dir="ltr">Here are some aspects that may define the scope of a Company Secretary in the future:</p> <p> </p> <ol> <li dir="ltr"> <p dir="ltr">Corporate Governance: The importance of corporate governance is likely to continue growing, with increased emphasis on ethical practices, transparency, and accountability. Company Secretaries will play a vital role in ensuring compliance with governance standards.</p> </li> <li dir="ltr"> <p dir="ltr">Regulatory Compliance: As regulatory frameworks become more complex and dynamic, Company Secretaries will need to stay updated with the latest legal and regulatory requirements. </p> </li> <li dir="ltr"> <p dir="ltr">Strategic Advisory: CS can contribute significantly  strategic decision making processes.

Company Secretaries will likely be involved in developing and implementing sustainability strategies.</p> </li> </ol> <p><br /><br /></p> <p dir="ltr">CS SCOPE AND SALARY</p> <p> </p> <p dir="ltr">Well, the scope of CS is wide ranging. It starts with Secretarial Compliance to act as Governance Professional. I will try to write about it in a brief manner:</p> <ol> <li dir="ltr"> <p dir="ltr">Secretarial Audit : Secretarial Audit is entirely and exclusively done by a qualified CS.</p> </li> <li dir="ltr"> <p dir="ltr">Filling of various documents/returns as required under the provisions of various Corporate Laws.</p> </li> <li dir="ltr"> <p dir="ltr">Acting as a Compliance Officer for Listed entities.</p> </li> <li dir="ltr"> <p dir="ltr">Acting as a bridge between the Board of the company and the outsiders.</p> </li> <li dir="ltr"> <p dir="ltr">Representing the Company before Various Authorities.</p> </li> <li dir="ltr"> <p dir="ltr">Ensuring that the correct procedures have been followed that would result in the correctness, authenticity and comprehensiveness of the information, statements and reports filed by the listed entity under these regulations</p> </li> <li dir="ltr"> <p dir="ltr">Providing Certificate regarding Transfer of Securities to listed entities</p> </li> <li dir="ltr"> <p dir="ltr">Issuing certificate regarding compliance of conditions of Corporate Governance. </p> </li> <li dir="ltr"> <p dir="ltr">Issuing a certificate regarding Issuance of securities to more than 49 and up to 200 investors, and the refund procedure as prescribed by SEBI has been duly complied with.</p> </li> <li dir="ltr"> <p dir="ltr">Practicing Company Secretary who is a Valuer is recognised under the following Regulations:</p> </li> </ol><ol> <li dir="ltr"> <p dir="ltr">SEBI (Real Estate Investment Trusts) Regulations, 2014</p> </li> <li dir="ltr"> <p dir="ltr">The SEBI (Infrastructure Investment Trusts) Regulations, 2014</p> </li> </ol> <p> </p> <p dir="ltr">SALARY STRUCTURE</p> <p> </p> <ul> <li dir="ltr"> <p dir="ltr">The salary structure of a CS varies depending on factors such as the size of the company, the location, and the experience and qualifications of the individual.</p> </li> <li dir="ltr"> <p dir="ltr">Generally, a fresher CS  can expect to earn an average annual salary of around Rs. 4-5 lakhs p.a </p> </li> <li dir="ltr"> <p dir="ltr">For a mid-level CS with around 5-10 years of experience, the average annual salary can range from Rs. 10- 24 lakhs p.a.</p> </li> <li dir="ltr"> <p dir="ltr">At a senior level, with more than 10 years of experience, the salary of a CS can go up to Rs. 50 lakhs p.a or even higher, depending on the company's size and industry.</p> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <p dir="ltr">CAREER OPTIONS AFTER COMPLETING CS</p> <p> </p> <p dir="ltr">After completing CS, there are several career options available to you. Here are some of the common paths you can consider:</p> <p> </p> <ol> <li dir="ltr"> <p dir="ltr">Corporate Secretary: Many companies, especially larger organizations, require the expertise of a CS to ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. </p> </li> </ol> <p> </p> <ol start="2"> <li dir="ltr"> <p dir="ltr">Compliance Officer: With your knowledge of laws and regulations, you can pursue a career as a Compliance Officer.

The answer could be a subjective one because it depends upon one student to another and the number of attempts he takes in clearing the CS exams. If I talk in a calculative way, it can take a minimum of 5 years. Lets see How?</p> <p>In CS, you have mainly Three stages.</p> <p><br />* CS Entrance Exam<br />* CS Executive<br />* CS Professional and 21 months of mandatory training along with another 40 to 60 days CLDP</p> <p><strong>Can I Complete CS in 2 years?</strong></p> <p>The single word answer for this would be a NO. because the mandatory practical training itself is for 21 months other than clearing all three stages of CS. However there are some exemptions provided for 21 months of training to some specific candidates. If one gets exempted from training and cleared his exams within 2 years then yeah It could be possible.</p> <p> </p> <h2><span style="font-size: 12pt;">CS course Eligibility?</span></h2> <h2> </h2> <p><br />Okay so now you know about the period and stages of the CS course, let's discuss the eligibility to enter the CS course stage wise.</p> <p>For CS executive entrance test: the candidate should be 10+2 from any background or appearing in 10+2.<br />For CS Executive : the candidate should be Either of the following:<br />Has passed CS executive Entrance Test<br />Is a Graduate with at least 50% marks<br />Final Passed student of Institute of Chartered Accountants of India<br />Final Passed student of Institute of Cost and Management accountants of India.<br />For CS Professional: the candidate should clear CS executive.</p> <p>For More information, Click- https://www.icsi.edu/media/webmodules/11112022_ICSI_Students_leaflet.pdf</p> <p><br /><strong>Is CS a difficult Course?</strong><br />Well, Yes. The course is not difficult in the sense that you can't understand the concepts that the course is offering but it gets difficult in terms of scoring passing marks. For that the course needs consistent and regular studies. It's not something that one can study for a month and cope up with the entire syllabus. Moreover, the syllabus is huge, it gets amended time to time with the ever changing laws, rules and regulations. Beyond that a student needs to learn specific writing skills to get a good score in order to pass. The pass percentage of CS professionals is around 40% and CS Executive is around 18%.</p> <p><br />To know more, Click - <a href="https://www.icsi.edu/media/webmodules/06092022_Press_Release_Result_of_Company_Secretaries_Examinations_June_2022Session.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.icsi.edu/media/webmodules/06092022_Press_Release_Result_of_Company_Secretaries_Examinations_June_2022Session.pdf</a></p> <p>How many Years does it take to become CS after 12th?<br />As I mentioned earlier, it could take around 3-4 years if cleared in a single attempt.</p> <p><strong>CS eligibility after Graduation?</strong><br />So, in CS there are two entries to enter into the course. One is Normal Entry that is to enter CS after 12th another one is Direct Entry that is to enter CS after graduation. In Direct Entry, The student gets the benefit of entering CS executive directly without appearing for CS Executive Entrance test.<br />For more information Click- <a href="https://www.icsi.edu/media/webmodules/granting_exemption_230621.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.icsi.edu/media/webmodules/granting_exemption_230621.pdf</a></p> <p>Which is tough, CS or MBA?</p> <p>Well both are Professional degrees so the answer to this question can be given from multiple angles.<br />Firstly, let's talk about time. While you know that CS is a full flagged course with minimum time taking of 5 years, whereas MBA will take only two years cause its a Two years Masters Degree.</p> <p><br />So, from the viewpoint of time, CS is definitely tougher than MBA.</p>
