As students, all of us understand the deep desire within ourselves to pass a professional course examination like Company Secretary exam without fear, failure and most importantly at first attempt. As students, we soon want to be called as members, rather students! We want to attend members’ conferences, not student seminars! We want to read Chartered Secretary, not Student Company Secretary! On those 2 historic days – February 25 and August 25, when sharp at 4.00 p.m. the results get declared – we want to see those 4 golden letters printed against our names – PASS!

We, CS Elite, share your passion and will walk you through this journey! We can make a difference by sharing the methodology of study and knowledge which can guide you to crack the professional exam with ease.

CS Elite has always believed that education is the transmission of civilization; that education is all about awakening the curiosity of minds, only to satisfy it thereafter! It is the dedication to excel in life that matters. We will enable you to learn, unlearn and relearn! We will facilitate the designation A.C.S against your name.

In continuation of our efforts of last 3 years in meeting all your demands, CS Elite is extremely proud in meeting your long standing demand of a teaching academy dedicated for CS students in Bangalore! Yes, we are launching…

“CS ELITE ACADEMY”

We have set ourselves the following 10 goals in establishing this academy:

1. Completing the entire syllabus of each subject well before main exams of ICSI;
2. Monthly tests for each batch of students, followed by a mock exam;
3. Competent and experienced faculty with a passion to drive the students towards success in examination;
4. Faculty to provide short notes to the students for their subjects;
5. To the maximum extent possible, ensuring that the faculty is easily approachable and accessible to the students for any professional interaction;
6. Ensuring that the faculty is regular and punctual to the classes;
7. Creating an atmosphere of healthy competition with minimal examination fear; and
8. Providing guidance to students into the insights of the larger picture of the company secretaryship profession.

The first batch of students will commence from February 10th 2008 at Women Peace League, Shankar Mutt Road, Basavanagudi for the coming June 2008 examination.

We welcome your enquiries and registration for the first batch and for further details! We hope to do justice to your confidence in us and to our dream of enhancing your professional success!
