Salary & Pay Scale

Selection Process

The recruitment includes a written test in objective/MCQ format. The notification also states that merely fulfilling eligibility conditions does not guarantee shortlisting for the written test; ICSI may call only the candidates it considers most suitable. Candidates shortlisted after the written test will be required to complete document verification, where original documents (and NOC, if applicable) must be produced.

The written test is described as an objective type (MCQ) covering Basic Accounting, General English, Basic Mathematics, Computer Knowledge, Quantitative Aptitude, Reasoning, and General Knowledge & Current Affairs. The notification further specifies that no Travel Allowance (TA) will be reimbursed for attending the written test.
