FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about CMA Course eligibility and details.
Can I do the US CMA Course while pursuing my graduation in India?
Yes. You can start the US CMA Course after your Class 12 and pursue it along with graduation. You are allowed to appear for the exams while still a student, provided you complete your Bachelor’s degree and 2 years of relevant work experience before IMA awards you the CMA certificate.
Do I need to be from a commerce or accounting background to enroll?
No. A commerce background helps but it is not mandatory. Many CMA candidates come from engineering, economics, business administration and other fields, and the course starts from accounting and management finance basics before moving to advanced topics.
How long does it typically take to complete the US CMA Course in India?
Most focused candidates complete both parts in 6–9 months, depending on their study time and commitments. You have up to 3 years from paying the CMA entrance fee to clear both parts, but with a structured plan you can finish much sooner.
What is the passing score and exam pattern for the US CMA exam?
You must score at least 360 out of 500 on each part. Every exam part includes 100 MCQs worth 75 percent of the score and 2 essay scenarios worth 25 percent; you must answer at least 50 percent of the MCQs correctly to proceed to the essay section.
Is there any negative marking in the US CMA exam?
No. There is no negative marking in the CMA exam, which is why we teach intelligent guessing and elimination techniques to maximise your score even on difficult questions.
When can I take the US CMA exams in India?
US CMA exams are held in three testing windows each year: January–February, May–June and September–October. Within these windows you can choose any available exam date at a Prometric center based on your preparation.
Where are US CMA exam centers located in India?
US CMA exams are conducted at Prometric Testing Centers across India, typically in major cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata and others, and you can select your preferred center while booking your slot.

Is US CMA better than CMA India or CA for my career?
It depends on your goals; US CMA is ideal if you want global mobility, MNC roles and a shorter pathway focused on management accounting, FP&A and corporate finance, while many candidates also combine US CMA with CA or CMA India for stronger domestic and international prospects.
Can I switch from Self Paced Video mode to Live Online later?
In most cases you can upgrade from Self Paced to Live Online by paying only the difference in fees, subject to current policies and batch availability, and our team will help you plan the best combination.
