The IICA Certificate Programme in Corporate Social Responsibility is an initiative by the Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs for professionals and students seeking to build expertise in CSR. The programme is designed for individuals across all academic levels who wish to enhance their understanding of corporate social responsibility practices. It combines theoretical knowledge with practical insights to prepare participants for roles in corporate sustainability and social impact. The curriculum is structured to meet the evolving needs of India’s corporate sector and aligns with national priorities in responsible business conduct.

The programme is open to individuals at all study levels, including undergraduate, postgraduate, and working professionals. Applicants from any academic background are eligible to apply. There are no strict income or marks-based conditions; however, preference may be given to candidates with prior experience or interest in CSR, sustainability, or related fields. The programme is inclusive and encourages applications from diverse backgrounds, including SC, ST, OBC, EWS, and PwD categories.

Interested candidates must visit the official IICA website to access the application form. The application requires personal details, academic qualifications, and a statement of purpose outlining the candidate’s interest in CSR. Supporting documents, such as educational certificates and identity proof, may be required. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, and shortlisted candidates are notified via email or the official portal. Late or incomplete applications are typically not considered.
