GURUGRAM: The Institute of Company Secretaries of India opened applications on Friday, November 6, 2026 for 13 contractual positions at the Ministry of Corporate Affairs' Central Facility Centres in Sector 5, IMT Manesar. Five posts are for Young Professionals and eight for Assistant Young Professionals, with applications closing on November 20. The workplace is at the Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs campus, Plot Nos. 6, 7 and 8, near Gurugram.
The two advertisements offer different entry routes. Qualified company secretaries who hold ICSI membership are eligible for the Young Professional category. The Assistant Young Professional category requires candidates to have passed ICSI's Executive level examination. Applicants should choose the appropriate advertisement rather than treating the 13 vacancies as one interchangeable set of posts.
Posts, pay and eligibility
The official recruitment index lists the Young Professional advertisement as ICSI/YPCFC/56/2026 and the assistant advertisement as ICSI/AYPCFC/57/2026. Both entries show November 6 as the start date and November 20, 2026 as the end date. Neither advertisement specifies a closing hour, so applicants should use the stated date without assuming an additional grace period.
| Position | Posts | Qualification | First year monthly pay |
|---|---|---|---|
| Young Professional | 5 | ICSI membership | Rs 75,000 |
| Assistant Young Professional | 8 | ICSI Executive examination passed | Rs 40,000 |
The Young Professional pay schedule sets consolidated remuneration at Rs 75,000 a month in the first year, Rs 80,000 in the second and Rs 85,000 in the third. For Assistant Young Professionals, the corresponding amounts are Rs 40,000, Rs 42,500 and Rs 45,000. The later year amounts depend on the engagement continuing; they do not turn the initial appointment into an unconditional three year contract.
The initial tenure is one year. Extensions can be granted annually for up to two additional years, depending on performance and requirements, or until the appointee reaches 35 years, whichever comes earlier. Performance is to be reviewed at the end of each year. The advertisements describe temporary contractual engagements and give no right to claim government or ICSI employment through this scheme.
The age wording differs between the notices. The Young Professional advertisement specifies an age below 32 years as on November 1, 2026. The assistant advertisement gives a maximum age of 32 on the same date. November 1 is also the stated cutoff for qualifications and experience, making the cutoff date separate from the later application opening and closing dates.
What the work involves
The selected professionals will examine and process electronic forms under the Companies Act, 2013 and the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008, along with the relevant rules. The advertisements list the centres as CRC, C-PACE, CSC and CPC. Each professional will work on the forms and responsibilities assigned by the office where they are deployed.
The notices tie the work to minimum disposal targets set by the centres and the respective Registrars of Companies. Output beyond the benchmark will have significant weight in performance reviews. Selected candidates will undergo orientation to familiarise themselves with the functions of the facilities before carrying out their assigned work.
The working pattern is Monday to Saturday, with 48 hours a week stated in the general conditions, subject to achievement of targets. The Young Professional notice also explicitly requires full time service and rules out another assignment during the appointment. Candidates weighing an application should read those working conditions alongside the salary and the Manesar posting address.
Experience wording and application documents
The Young Professional notice contains two formulations on experience. Its opening line says applicants with a minimum of one year of post qualification experience will be preferred, while its experience section says candidates with experience of up to one year will be considered. The assistant notice also refers to experience of up to one year. Applicants should check this wording against their own record rather than assume that either sentence removes the other.
Both notices exclude training that forms part of the company secretary course curriculum from the experience total. They require candidates to establish their eligibility and warn that false information, missing material facts or failure to meet the criteria can result in cancellation, including termination if a problem is found after engagement.
Applications must use the electronic form linked from the official recruitment page. The instructions limit the uploaded resume to 100 KB and require complete entries in the prescribed format. They also direct candidates to enter degree percentages rounded down to a whole number and to convert grades into equivalent numerical percentages where applicable.
Applicants should retain a printout of their submitted form, but the institute asks them not to send hard copies of the application, CV or certificates. Original documents will be required later for verification. Shortlisted candidates will be told about the final selection process after screening, and the notices do not promise payment of travel or daily allowances for selection, joining or completion.
These Manesar vacancies are separate from the junior engineer application window and the consulting director vacancy covered earlier. Readers tracking university employment can also consult the education adjunct faculty notice. Each has its own employer, eligibility conditions and application process.
