ICSI Executive Career Awareness Programme Recruitment 2026

ICSI Executive Career Awareness Programme Recruitment 2026: Overview

The Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI) is hiring for its Executive (Career Awareness Programme) role on a contract basis, with postings in Kolkata, Mumbai and Chennai. The institute regulates and develops the company secretary profession under the Company Secretaries Act, 1980. This recruitment supports its career guidance and outreach programme, which connects the institute with students and educational institutions.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Initial engagement: Your contract starts with an 11-month term. ICSI may extend it annually for up to two further years, depending on your performance and its needs. An extension is conditional, so the initial appointment does not promise the full possible term.
• Posting choices in the notice: The named cities are Kolkata, Mumbai and Chennai. The advertisement does not set out a city-wise allocation or promise that you will receive your preferred city.
• Shortlisting discretion: Meeting the basic requirements does not guarantee a call from ICSI. The institute can use higher benchmarks to limit the shortlist and can change its criteria for deserving applicants.
• Recruitment changes: ICSI can change the number of openings, leave positions unfilled or cancel the recruitment. You should treat the advertised engagement as subject to the institute completing its recruitment process.
• Accurate information: Incorrect statements or missing material facts can lead to rejection. If a problem comes to light after appointment, it can also lead to termination of the engagement.
• Travel costs: ICSI will not pay travel or daily allowances for attending recruitment activities, joining the assignment or completing it. You need to account for those costs yourself.
• Conduct and disputes: Trying to influence the recruitment through canvassing can disqualify you. The notice places recruitment-related disputes under the courts in New Delhi.

Application Submission Notes

Email is the main contact route: use a valid personal address that you check regularly, because ICSI may contact you by email instead of post. Keep a printout of your completed online form for your own reference; the institute says it will not issue a separate acknowledgement.

Do not post a hard copy of your online application to ICSI. In the online resume form, keep entries concise and avoid the special characters flagged in the notice. Google Chrome with JavaScript enabled is one of the browsers the notice specifies.

For recruitment queries, contact hr.dept@icsi.edu, the address given for the HR department. This email is for queries; your application belongs on the recruitment portal named in the notice.
