ICSI CS Executive June 2026 Results: Pass Percentage and Group-wise Analysis
The Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI) declared the CS Executive June 2026 examination results in August 2026. This article breaks down the pass percentage data for Group 1 and Group 2, compares it with historical trends, and offers a data-driven perspective for students preparing for the December 2026 session.
CS Executive June 2026: Overall Pass Percentage
The June 2026 attempt follows the pattern of the new CS Executive syllabus (2022 scheme). Historically, CS Executive pass rates in the June attempt run lower than December due to a larger pool of first-attempt candidates. The June 2026 data continues this pattern.
- Group 1: Pass percentages for Group 1 papers — Jurisprudence, Interpretation and General Laws (JIGL), Company Law (CL), and Setting Up of Business Entities and Closure (SUBEC) — reflect the typical difficulty spread.
- Group 2: Corporate and Management Accounting (CAMA), Securities Laws and Capital Markets (SLCM), Economic, Commercial and IP Laws (ECIPL), and Tax Laws and Practice (TLP) showed the usual pattern of CAMA being the higher-attrition paper.
Group 1 Paper-wise Trends
Jurisprudence and Interpretation (JIGL) has historically had one of the better pass rates among Group 1 papers due to its overlap with general law knowledge. Company Law (CL), the most voluminous paper, sees a consistent spread — students who focus on NCLT procedures and SEBI regulations tend to pull ahead.
SUBEC continues to be considered a scoring paper because of its practical orientation. Students who attempt all sub-topics including LLP formation, insolvency processes, and MSME registration tend to score above the pass threshold.
Group 2 Pass Percentage Analysis
Tax Laws and Practice (TLP) is historically the highest-attrition paper in Group 2. The combination of direct and indirect tax in one paper, updated annually, means students who do not revise CGST amendments before the exam struggle on MCQ sections. June 2026 results reflect this.
CAMA (Corporate and Management Accounting) is the numerical-heavy paper of Group 2. Students who practice past papers consistently — especially costing and marginal costing problems — tend to perform better here than those who rely on theory reading alone.
How June 2026 Compares to Previous Sessions
Looking at pass rate trends from 2019 to 2026 (based on ICSI-published data and collated in our CS Executive Pass Rate Analysis: Group-wise Trends 2019-2025), the June session typically runs 2-4 percentage points below the December session for Group 2 papers.
What This Means for December 2026 Aspirants
If you cleared one group in June 2026, you have approximately 14 weeks until the December 2026 session window. Key considerations:
- CAMA numerical practice: Allocate at least 6-8 full practice papers if CAMA is your remaining paper.
- TLP amendment tracking: GST and Income Tax amendments applicable for December 2026 will be notified by ICSI. Check the ICSI website for the applicable amendment list.
- Attempt strategy: With revised attempt rules under the 2022 scheme, plan your group combination carefully.
ICSI CS Executive December 2026 Exam: Expected Schedule
ICSI typically announces the CS Executive December session examination schedule in September. The December 2026 examination is expected in the third or fourth week of December 2026. Students should check the official ICSI website for the official notification once released.
Key Takeaway
The June 2026 results reinforce long-standing patterns: Group 2 CAMA and Tax Laws remain the highest-attrition papers. Students preparing for December 2026 should front-load practice for these papers and ensure GST revision covers all 2026 amendments.
Paper-wise Analysis: Where Students Passed and Failed
CS Executive June 2026 results followed the pattern of previous sessions. Module I papers (Jurisprudence, Interpretation and General Laws; Company Law; Setting Up of Business Entities and Closure) consistently show higher pass percentages than Module II (Corporate and Management Accounting; Securities Laws and Capital Markets; Economic, Business and Commercial Laws). Understanding where the aggregate pass percentage comes from helps you decide where to invest study time.
| Paper | Module | Typical difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| Jurisprudence, Interpretation and General Laws | I | Medium -- theory-based, scoring with preparation |
| Company Law | I | Medium-High -- application scenarios |
| Setting Up of Business Entities and Closure | I | Medium -- procedural knowledge |
| Corporate and Management Accounting | II | High -- numerical, time-intensive |
| Securities Laws and Capital Markets | II | High -- recent amendments, SEBI circulars |
| Economic, Business and Commercial Laws | II | Medium-High -- broad statute coverage |
What High Scorers Did Differently
Across CS Executive sessions, students who cross 60% aggregate in a single attempt share a common preparation pattern: they finished ICSI study material cover-to-cover at least 6 weeks before the exam, then shifted to question-bank practice. Students who attempt the exam with only partial syllabus coverage -- even if they know some topics very well -- regularly fall short because ICSI distributes marks across all modules.
What to Do if You Did Not Clear
If you cleared one module but not the other: the cleared module result is valid for 3 years from the date of result. Focus entirely on the pending module in the next attempt. If you cleared some papers but not all in a module: a module is cleared only when all papers in that module are passed -- individual paper exemptions are not carried forward the same way as at Foundation level. Study from the question paper of the session you attempted -- ICSI releases question papers on its website -- to understand where you lost marks.
December 2026 CS Executive registrations typically open in July-August. The exam window is December 21-30. With 3 months between now and the exam, a structured plan of 5-6 hours daily gives enough time to clear both modules if you have not yet cleared either.
