CS Executive Registration Last Date 2027: Cut-Offs and Fees

The CS Executive registration last date for the June 2027 exam is 30 November 2026, for both groups. ICSI gives this date in its admission flyer of September 2026, and from 10 November 2026 that leaves 20 days. For one group only, the expected cut-off is 31 January 2027. I got that date by checking ICSI's cut-off rule against its own 2026 calendar, where it matched all four published dates.

Your registration date fixes your first session. Register by 30 November 2026 and both groups are open in June 2027; a day later, the second group is expected to wait until December 2027.

TL;DR

• Both groups, June 2027: register by 30 November 2026 (20 days from 10 November 2026). ICSI has announced this date.
• One group, June 2027: 31 January 2027, expected from ICSI's usual cut-off pattern.
• December 2027: 31 May 2027 for both groups and 31 July 2027 for one group, both expected.
• Cost to the first exam with both groups: Rs 26,400 for a graduate registering directly, Rs 30,400 through CSEET.
• Registration stays open after a cut-off, but no late fee gets you into that session: ICSI's FAQ says students cannot appear if not eligible by the cut-off date, and its 2026 calendar says a cut-off does not move for holidays. Miss it and you wait for the next session.

What is the CS Executive registration last date for June 2027?

30 November 2026, if you want both groups in June 2027. The same date appears in ICSI's Cut-Off Dates for 2026 against Executive and Professional admission, and the calendar says a cut-off stays put even if it falls on a holiday.

For one group, ICSI had not published a 2027 calendar when I checked on 10 November 2026. Its 2026 calendar uses the same dates for Executive and Professional, and its FAQ gives the Professional rule: both groups by 30 November of the previous year, one group by 31 January of the same year. Going by that pattern, the one-group date is expected to be 31 January 2027.

ICSI has announced only the both-group date for June 2027; the one-group date is a projection from its own rule.

Which session can I write if I register after 30 November 2026?

I set every registration date up to 30 November 2027 against the rule. Each window gives this earliest session:

• 10 to 30 November 2026: June 2027 for one group or both. This row rests on an announced date.
• 1 December 2026 to 31 January 2027: June 2027 for one group, December 2027 for both (expected).
• 1 February to 31 May 2027: December 2027 for one group or both (expected).
• 1 June to 31 July 2027: December 2027 for one group, June 2028 for both (expected).
• 1 August to 30 November 2027: June 2028 for one group or both (expected).

Method: I took the cut-off rule in ICSI's Student Services FAQ, checked it against all four Executive and Professional dates in ICSI's 2026 cut-off calendar (4 of 4 match), treated the 2027 dates it gives as expected and mapped each registration window to the earliest June or December session.

ICSI's FAQ rule gave exactly the four 2026 dates the calendar printed, so I use it for 2027, labelled as expected.

Register on 1 December 2026 and the second group slips by six months. Register on 1 February 2027 and even one group is expected to move to December 2027. There are 82 days from 10 November 2026 to that expected one-group date.

Missing 30 November costs a June 2027 student the second group. Missing 31 January (expected) moves even one group to December 2027.

What is the CS Executive registration last date for December 2027?

Expected: 31 May 2027 for both groups and 31 July 2027 for one group. The December 2026 session, with official dates, shows how much study time each cut-off leaves:

• Both groups: 31 May 2026 to the opening paper on 21 December 2026 is 204 days.
• One group: 31 July 2026 to 21 December 2026 (Group 1) is 143 days, and to 22 December (Group 2) 144 days.

The June 2027 time table is not out, so I have not counted June days. If you plan both groups in one session, register by the both-group date. In 2026 the one-group cut-off still left 143 days before Group 1's first paper.

Expect 31 May 2027 for both groups in December 2027; the same cut-off in 2026 left 204 days.

How much does CS Executive registration cost?

ICSI's schedule of fees, September 2026, lists these Executive registration heads (the same for one or both groups, which many students still call modules):

• Registration Rs 2,000, education Rs 12,900, pre-exam test Rs 1,000 and the three-day orientation programme Rs 2,500.
• CSEET exemption fee Rs 5,000 for direct admission, nil for CSEET or CS Foundation pass students.
• Optional journal Rs 500. ICSI's printed totals of Rs 18,900 and Rs 23,900 include it.

Add Rs 1,500 per group as exam fee, and the first Executive exam costs this, without the journal:

• Graduate, post-graduate, ICAI Inter pass or ICMAI Final pass, direct, both groups: Rs 26,400.
• Class 12 student through CSEET (Rs 7,500 plus one Rs 1,500 CSEET exam), then both groups: Rs 30,400.
• Direct, one group per session: Rs 26,400 over two sessions. The fee is the same; splitting adds a session.
• Person with disability, direct, both groups: Rs 2,750. Only the Rs 2,000 registration fee applies, and the exam fee has a 75% concession.

Method: I added ICSI's registration heads without the optional Rs 500 journal (Rs 18,400), the Rs 5,000 CSEET exemption fee where it applies, CSEET fees for the CSEET route and Rs 1,500 per group as exam fee.

The CSEET route costs Rs 4,000 more: a CSEET student pays Rs 9,000 for CSEET, while a direct student pays the Rs 5,000 exemption fee instead. SC and ST students get 50% off registration, but the schedule does not say which heads it covers, so check the SMASH payment page.

Direct entry costs Rs 4,000 less than the CSEET route to the same first exam.

Is registration the same as the CS Executive exam form?

No. Registration is admission to the Executive Programme. You do it once and it is valid for five years. You fill the exam form every session for the groups you will write, at Rs 1,500 per group, with a Rs 250 late fee. Syllabus 2022 students also clear an online pre-exam test before enrolling. Separately, ICSI has released an exposure draft of a proposed Syllabus 2027; until ICSI notifies it, the 2022 syllabus and its pre-exam test apply.

In 2026 the June enrolment ran from 26 February to 9 April with the late fee, so June 2027 enrolment is expected from late February to early April 2027 (dates in ICSI's Cut-Off Dates for 2026). For paper dates, see our CS Executive December 2026 time table.

Registration is a one-time step that fixes your first session. The exam form is a per-session step that picks your groups.

Who can register directly without CSEET?

ICSI's Student Services FAQ and fee schedule allow direct entry (direct admission) for graduates and post-graduates, ICAI Intermediate pass and ICMAI Final pass students, CS Foundation pass students and those who passed the 6th semester of a 5-year integrated programme. Final-year students of a 3-year degree register provisionally with the final-year or final-semester admit card. CSEET pass students must register within one year of the CSEET result.

One mismatch: the SMASH document list still asks for an ICAI or ICMAI Final pass certificate. If you are ICAI Inter pass, upload the Inter certificate and write to support.icsi.edu if the form rejects it.

Graduates, ICAI Inter and ICMAI Final pass students skip CSEET by paying the Rs 5,000 exemption fee; CS Foundation pass students pay no exemption fee.

How do I register on the SMASH portal?

1. Open the Become A CS page on icsi.edu and pick Registration for Executive Programme (Direct), or the CSEET pass link.
2. Scan a photograph of 20 to 50 KB and a signature of 10 to 20 KB.
3. Upload your Class 10 certificate for date of birth, your qualification certificate, identity proof and, if you are not in the general category, a category certificate. Each file can be up to 2 MB.
4. Fill in your personal and qualification details and check them before submitting.
5. Pay the fee shown on the payment page before 30 November 2026.

CSEET pass students upload the Class 12 marksheet or the CSEET pass certificate instead.

What I would do before 30 November

If you are in the final year of B.Com and your university has already issued your final-year or final-semester admit card or hall ticket, register provisionally with it before 30 November 2026; SMASH accepts either. That keeps both groups open for June 2027. If it has not, the next step is the one-group date, expected 31 January 2027.

Plan both groups unless your work hours rule it out, and read our CS Executive passing marks post to see how passing one group at a time works. For the months after registration, see our plan to clear CS Executive in the first attempt.

Once you are registered for June 2027, the Gradehunt CS Executive test series has full syllabus mock tests from Rs 199 per subject. You write by hand and upload, and Chartered Accountants with 7 or more years of experience check the copy within 48 hours of upload.
