Hi, Company Secretaryship course is one of the highly recognised and famous courses in India. CS has tremendous scope in India due to the increasing level of laws and their complexities

. company Secretary is a person who needs to handle the secretarial part of the company and keep the company in compliance at all time. CS post is of high value and respect in the industry today. Dont get confused but rather concentrate on the studies and clear the course in minimum attempts. Also doing LLB after CS or along side CS course is very necessary and CS+LLB is a very unique and most common qualification combination to have for a candidate. I would suggest you to focus on your studies and leave the worry absolutely. CA, CS, CWA will always have good career progress.

2. A vital link between the company and it Board of Directors, Shareholders, Government and Regulatory Authotiries.
3. A Conscience seeker of the company

Scope of the CS:
The CS has very wide scope in the industries now a days.
A qualified Company Secretary has openings in industry and also has scope for practicing as an Independent Professional.

CS course offers lucrative career options. After successfully completing this course, you can get into multi national companies for jobs. CS acts as a compliance officer who may provide legal advises in area of Corporate Laws, Capital Market, Corporate Governance, etc.

Job Opportunities exists in both private and public sector companies.

Many government companies also employ CS such as AAI, ONGC, State Infrastructure Development Corporation etc.


Pay Packet:
There is no denying the fact that Company Secretary is one of best paid jobs in the country. Even those who have their own practice earn handsomely. A fresher can easily earn a salary upto 3-5 Lakhs per annum. Having said that it is very imperative to know that packages also depend on what are the candidate's capabilities. A well deserving candidate having profound knowldege of the domain can earn substanially good amount of money.

Dear Aspirant,

Thanks for writing your query to us!

My colleagues have very well explained the scope of CS.

Good part is that you have enrolled for BCom and about to complete it soon. Wish you best luck for ourstanding result.

CS is tough course and has very good scope. I would reccomend to pursue CS as it has very bright scope. Once you clear the exam, you will have very good job opportunities.

You do not require to do any further studies after CS. However, higher studies relevant to your job always broaden the scope. If you are interested in higher studies after CS, you can pursue relevant studies such as LLB, MCom, MBA while doing job.

Now I request you to review your strengths, weaknesses and your interest. If you are confident then pursue CS. If not then think about other career options that interests you.
