Hello Venkatesh! 

I am glad to see your interest in a glorious profession like Company Secretary. 

First of all, as you have taken CEC group, you have two options available to pursue the Company Secretaryship as a career. 

Generally, Company Secretary (CS) course consists of three steps - Foundation Course, Executive Course and Professional Course. 

If you want to pursue this CS course direcrly after 12th, then you have to start from Foundation Course. If you want to get graduation degree at first, and then you want to pursue it, in that case you have start directly from Executive Course. Choice yours. 

After completing Executive Course, you have to go for a 15 months articleship (training) programme and afterthat you can apply for the final step of CS- Professional programme.
