One of the first questions every student asks about the CS course is: how much will it cost? This guide breaks down every fee you pay to ICSI, level by level, so there are no surprises.
CS Course Fees at a Glance

CSEET Fees
| Particular | Amount |
| Registration Fee | ₹7,500 |
| Examination Fee | ₹1,500 per session |
| First Attempt Cost | ₹9,000 |
The ₹7,500 registration fee already includes:

Total CS Course Fees
Here is what the full journey costs in ICSI fees, assuming you pass each level in one attempt and take both groups together.
Route 1: Starting with CSEET
| Stage | Amount |
| CSEET (registration + exam) | ₹9,000 |
| CS Executive (registration + both groups) | ₹21,900 |
| CS Professional (registration + both groups) | ₹23,600 |
| Total | ₹54,500 |
Route 2: Direct Entry
| Stage | Amount |
| CS Executive (registration + both groups) | ₹26,900 |
| CS Professional (registration + both groups) | ₹23,600 |
| Total | ₹50,500 |
These totals cover ICSI registration and exam fees only. Training programme fees (EDP and CLDP) and coaching fees are separate.
Fees You Pay Only in Special Cases
| Situation | Fee |
| Paper-wise exemption (eligible LL.B. / ICMAI Final etc.) | ₹1,000 per paper |
| Registration De Novo – within 2 years of expiry | ₹2,000 |
| Registration De Novo – after 2 but within 5 years of expiry | ₹3,000 |
| Continuation of Registration (Professional passed, training pending) | ₹1,000 per year |
Registration De Novo renews an expired registration so you can continue the course instead of starting again. Continuation of Registration is for students who have passed Professional but still have training pending.
What If You Fail an Attempt?
This is where the CS course is student-friendly. You do not pay the registration fee again after a failed attempt. While your registration is valid, you only pay the exam fee again.
| Level | Registration Validity | Re-attempt Cost |
| CSEET | 3 years | ₹1,500 |
| CS Executive | 5 years | ₹1,500 per group |
| CS Professional | 5 years | ₹1,800 per group |
You also do not repeat TDOP or the Pre-Examination Test just because you failed an attempt.

Is the CS Course Worth the Cost?
For a professional qualification that leads to the boardroom, the CS course keeps its fees manageable.
