paper-wise exemption as shown in the Admit Card as well as the Attendance Sheet. The

Instructions to Examinees| CS Examinations – JUNE, 2022 Session Pg. - 3 -
20. It may be noted that in some cases, the exemptions granted in more than one paper in
accordance with the various provisions contained under the Regulations are inter-related
with other exemptions granted and cancellation (or appearance) in any one of the papers
may result in cancellation of exemptions in all the inter-related papers. For example, if a
candidate has been granted paper-wise exemptions in three papers on the basis of scoring
64, 59, 57 & 10 marks respectively in the four papers contained under Module - I of
Executive Programme in previous session and in case he/she appears or cancels the
exemption in any one out of the three exempted papers having scored 60% marks in
aggregate, all the three exemptions shall be cancelled since the exemption criteria in this
case is applicable only if all the three papers are taken together. Such guidelines are
equally applicable for the students of Professional Programme also.
Candidates are, therefore, advised to be extremely careful while seeking cancellation or
while appearing in the exempted papers, as the final result will be computed considering
the actual marks scored on reappearance and/or the deemed absence in the papers as the
case may be. In other words, candidates appearing in the exempted papers despite an
endorsement to the effect in the Admit Card shall be doing so at their own risk and
responsibility and the Institute may not be held responsible for any eventuality which
may arise at a later date. In case of any doubt regarding the applicability of rules
regarding the exemptions, students should invariably seek prior clarifications from the
Institute by writing through our support portal http://support.icsi.edu before deciding on
their own to appear in the Examination of exempted subjects or seeking cancellation of
exemptions granted.

Professional Programme 2017 Syllabus, have been granted paper-wise exemptions as per
the switchover scheme. The candidates are advised to immediately verify the same and point
out discrepancies, if any and write to enroll@icsi.edu
22. The medium of writing the Examination for Executive Programme and Professional Programme
is English or Hindi as per the option exercised by the candidate and as indicated in the Admit
Card and Attendance Sheet. Candidates, who write some of the papers/answers in Hindi

In case of any doubt or discrepancy in Hindi language in the question paper, the English
version of the questions shall prevail. Candidates should write the answer to the questions in
the medium, i.e., English or Hindi as opted by them while enrolling for the Examination.
23. All Question Papers will be provided in English language except the following two papers of
