ICSI is offering free online crash course for the June 2020 CS exam under its e-Vidhya Vahini programme. The classes will be held till July 2.
The registration for CS Executive Entrance Test (CSEET) will be held till June 15. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, ICSI has postponed the exam and has also extended the registration deadline. The institute is also offering free online courses for this exam.
The decision to postpone the exam comes a day after the institute warned to take disciplinary action against CS students and members if found circulating provocative messages on social media demanding cancellation of exam.
Meanwhile, the Congress affiliated students' body National Students' Union of India (NSUI) had also demanded to cancel ICSI exams.
