Company Secretaryship

When I read the question, the instant answer that came to my mind is CA. No doubt that CA is far more advanced and acceptable in any industry. CWA and CS have comparatively fewer opportunities.
If you are doing CA then you should complete it within 4 years. Not more than that to achieve everything on time otherwise your life will be tough if you started getting flunked.
Start working with studies instantly. Work is a very important part of CA, without working, you can't get the true meaning of CA.
I will not write much about CWA and CS because the scope of both the courses is very limited as compared to CA. CWA takes around 3-years but the syllabus has been changed now and also it has a very low passing percentage. So it will not be easy to clear CWA either but its return in terms of package can't surpass CA. You can get a job in foreign countries with CA. This benefit is not available with courses like CWA and CS.

Career as a Company Secretary is not only prestigious and financially satisfying but also brings with it a high level of job happiness. Company Secretary is an in-house legal expert, a compliance officer of the Company, a specialist in corporate laws, securities laws & capital market and corporate governance. After the globalization of services, the Company Secretary profession is initiated in different countries. India is entering into a mutual broad economic co-operation Agreements with various countries like Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and many More. These agreements with countries acknowledge Company Secretaries with a free passage beyond borders.
Many Company Secretaries are already operating for various companies in various countries like the US, Canada, UK, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Australia, New Zealand, Middle-east, Africa, etc. By their research and the legal tendency of mind, companies across the border have accepted their professional skill sets. Company Secretary professional also possesses the managerial capabilities and analytical skills.
UK: There is a collaboration with ICSI and ICAI-UK. After clearing some papers, you can serve in London as a company secretary. ICSI has entered into Memorandum of Association (MoU) with the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators, UK. This MoU with ICSA recognizes Company Secretaries of both the countries on several conditions. The method of globalization and the means of absolute economic cooperation that India is instating has also set in consideration mutual recognition agreements between the ICSI and Institutes governing the profession in various other countries. This is clearing up the world to Company Secretaries.
Singapore: In Singapore, it is compulsory for each company to appoint a CS, therefore, you may get a better scope in Singapore. You can visit The Singapore Association of the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators (SAICSA).
Australia: In Australia, there is a comparable course like ICSI where you may get a membership of Chartered Secretary Australia and consequently a job of your choice. In Australia, CS is called Governance professional and the institute is called Governance Institute of Australia.
As far as salary package is concerned, one can expect something around 7 to 8 LPA (for a knowledgeable deserving candidate in the beginning). As the experience grows, it gets converted into a highly rewarding career.

The choice purely depends on the ultimate goal that you have set in mind.
Actually, the course content plays a very huge role in deciding the best match with law. CA course although can be a good choice. However, the context of the syllabus is quite different from that of law. The similarity between, both CS and LL.B. is that both of them are law focused courses. The CS curriculum attempts to make you study corporate laws in depth, whereas an LL.B. course will make you study a number of laws ranging from civil to criminal.
If we now consider the fact, that you want to primarily be a CA, and then pursue a degree (CS or LL.B) that is law focused, I would suggest that you would like to practice in corporate law and tax law matters as a Chartered Accountant. If that is true, I would suggest going for LL.B. as an additional degree because a CA or a CS cannot represent his client before the High Court or the Supreme Court. So, in case you grow in your profession and would want to litigate before these courts, you would need a membership of the Bar Council, for which an LL.B. degree is a pre-requisite.

1. Excessive Socializing:
As per one study done by IMAI, about 62.6% of Indian Youth spend up to 10 hours per week of time on social media. Excessive use of social media will definitely harm your health along with time and career. It is significant to manage your study along with social media to find a healthy balance. You do not have to forget that your major goal is to become a successful company secretary and not a social media manager.
2. Bunking Classes:
Bunking lectures and missing classes is surly not a good sign for your future prospectus. This will show that you are not serious about your studies displays lack of responsibility. It is being observed that student keep texting or checking Facebook even while the classes are going on. It is advised that students should not divert their attention and focus on studies.
3. Smart study and not hard study:
Even though hard work is the key to success, but it is suggested that instead of studying for long hours, study for a few hours but with complete focus and deep concentration. You should manage your time very effectively as this is a must have quality in CS students.
