ICSI CSEET January 2025 Results Out: How, When, and What You Need to Know
Thousands of aspiring company secretaries had their eyes glued to the screen at 2 PM on January 20, 2025, as the Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI) declared the much-awaited Company Secretary Executive Entrance Test (CSEET) January session results. This year, candidates took the exam entirely from home, thanks to a remote proctored setup carried out on January 11 and 13. Unlike the old way where students crowded test centers, participants just needed a steady internet connection and a laptop or desktop—the use of mobile devices wasn’t allowed.
Checking the results couldn't be easier. Head to the main ICSI website and use your CSEET application number and date of birth to unlock your digital scorecard. There’s no need to wait for a physical copy; this is strictly an online affair. The ICSI won’t send any results by post or email, and if you misplace your digital version, a quick visit to the portal is all it takes to get another copy—no hoops to jump through.
Exam Format, Scorecard, and What's Next for Candidates
The CSEET is the first gateway to a career as a Company Secretary, and ICSI has set clear rules to qualify. Each of the four papers must be cleared with at least 40%, and the total score needs to be at least 50% for a candidate to be declared successful. And here's some good news—there’s no negative marking, so wrong answers don’t drag down scores. That’s a big relief for many who might have hesitated to make a guess or two along the way.
The scorecard doesn’t just tell you if you passed or failed. It offers a detailed breakdown, with section-wise scores, your overall percentage, and your qualification status—everything you need at one glance. It's worth noting that this scorecard holds its value for exactly one year from the result date. So if you plan to move forward in your CS journey, mark that calendar and make sure you use your result within that year.
The pass percentage, which gives a sense of how tough this session was, is set to be released later the same day at 4 PM. Past sessions have shown some wide swings in the success rate, reflecting changing exam patterns and preparation levels.
So what’s next for those who qualified? You’ll move to the next stage in the Company Secretary course—a significant step for future careers in corporate compliance and governance. For those who missed the mark, don’t lose hope; another exam session isn’t that far away, and every attempt is a chance to learn and get closer to your goal.
