CMA Inter Result: When ICMAI Declares It and What to Do Next

ICMAI's timetable gives 5 February 2027 as the latest date for the result, and no single day is named. The Intermediate exams end on 17 December 2026. The pattern from earlier terms is below.

The December 2024 date is from Careers360's December 2024 result report, the December 2025 date from Careers360's December 2025 result report, and the June 2026 date from Careers360's June 2026 report. The December 2026 date is from ICMAI's December 2026 Inter and Final timetable, and Careers360's report on the December 2026 dates gives the same date. Our CMA exam date page carries the paper-by-paper calendar.

The 5 February 2027 date is six days before 11 February, the date ICMAI declared the result in each of the last two Decembers. Treat 5 February as the date to expect the result by, not as the day itself: it could come any day up to then. Counting from 17 December 2026, that window is 50 days (our count: 14 days left in December, 31 in January and 5 in February).

Open ICMAI's result page, choose the Intermediate result for the December 2026 term, enter the registration number and roll number ICMAI asks for, and save your scorecard. The steps:

1. Go to ICMAI's result page. Open the link for the December 2026 term once it appears there.
2. Select the Intermediate result, not Foundation or Final.
3. Enter the registration number and roll number ICMAI asks for on the form. Have both ready before declaration day.
4. View the result and read each paper's marks, not only the pass or fail line.
5. Save the scorecard as a PDF or screenshot straight away.

Each term's result form sits at its own address, so use the link on ICMAI's page rather than one forwarded in a chat group. If the page is slow when many candidates log in together, try again instead of hunting for another site.

On the scorecard, mark two things before you do anything else: every paper at 60 or above, and every paper below 40. Those two lists decide your next step.

One group needs 40% in each of its four papers and 50% of that group's aggregate. Both groups sat together need 40% in all eight papers and 50% of 800. Group I is papers 5 to 8 and Group II is papers 9 to 12 (our CMA Inter syllabus page).

Each paper is marked out of 100, so the floor is 40 marks. Scores of 80, 80, 80 and 39 give an aggregate of 69.75% (279 ÷ 4), yet the group fails because of the 39. The aggregate cannot rescue a paper below the floor.

For the full rule and how exemptions work, read the CMA Inter syllabus page. In the June 2026 term, Careers360's June 2026 result report shows that 19.68% of candidates who sat both groups together cleared both (2,144 of 10,897). Among candidates who sat one group only, 23.93% cleared Group I (6,813 of 28,471) and 30.64% cleared Group II (5,358 of 17,488). Our group-wise pass figures break these down across terms.

Your next step depends on how many groups you cleared. Cleared both, you move to CMA Final. Cleared one, you re-sit only the other group and keep any papers where you scored 60 or more. Cleared none, you re-attempt from the next term. The table gives fees and dates for each case.

The December 2026 exam fee was ₹1,500 for one Intermediate group and ₹2,800 for both (inland centres), per Careers360's report on the December 2026 dates.

You cleared both groups: should you move to CMA Final?

Moving to CMA Final is your next decision once both Inter groups are cleared. At iProledge, Final costs ₹10,000 per paper, which is ₹40,000 for one group and ₹80,000 for both, as of November 2026 (our CMA Final syllabus page).

Because the fee is per paper, doing Final one group at a time costs the same ₹80,000 in total as doing both together (₹40,000 plus ₹40,000). So the choice between one group and two in a term can follow your working hours and study time, not the fee.

Final uses the same style of rule as Inter: 40% in each paper and 50% aggregate across non-exempted papers, and you must clear all groups to complete it. Before you pay for any Final course, check ICMAI's current requirements for registering for Final, including practical training.

You cleared one group, or missed a group by a few marks

If you failed one group in CMA Inter, you re-sit only that group. The group you cleared does not need to be sat again.

Here is a worked example with made-up scores for Group II:

Paper 11 at 37 fails the group, whatever the other three papers score. Papers 9 and 12 earn exemption, and paper 10 at 52 earns none because it is below 60.

In the next term you sit papers 10 and 11 only. Each must score at least 40, and together they must total at least 100 out of 200. Aim for 50 in both: that clears the floor by 10 marks and meets the total exactly. Start with paper 11, because it fails the group on its own.

With papers 9 and 12 exempt, the next term is a two-paper job, not a four-paper one.

You cleared neither of the groups you sat

Re-attempt from the next term, June 2027, after checking your scorecard for any paper at 60 or above: those papers are exempt even though the group failed.

On group order, our recommendation, not an ICMAI rule, is that most working candidates should sit one group per term, Group I first. Cost Accounting in Group I underpins Management Accounting in Group II, so the first group builds the second. One group a term means two terms to finish Inter, but fewer papers to carry at once, and one weak paper sinks a whole group.

This does not apply if you have already started Group II, for example by earning exemptions in its papers. In that case, finish the group you are closest to clearing. If you sat both groups together and want to do so again, that is allowed, but it needs 40% in all eight papers and 50% of 800.

Do both. Apply for verification if a paper or your aggregate is a few marks short, and file the next exam form on time without waiting for the verification result. Verification costs ₹250 per paper, must be applied for within 30 days of the day ICMAI declares the result, and checks only totalling mistakes and answers left unmarked.

ICMAI does not supply question-wise marks, and verification is not re-marking. ICMAI's verification page asks candidates to submit the examination form for the coming examination within the stipulated date, without waiting for verification results. Fees are refunded automatically where marks change (the verification fee for the corrected papers). If you pass as a result, you also get back any exam fee already paid for the next examination.

Our recommendation: apply when a paper sits at 38 or 39, or your group aggregate is within a few marks of 50, because a totalling slip or an unmarked answer is the only thing that can move. If the answer itself was weak, verification will not change the mark.

Book a free demo class and a session with a Career Advisor, and bring your marks. Final is ₹10,000 per paper, payable by UPI, net banking, cards, no-cost EMI or a flexible plan. Fees once paid are not refunded, so see a class first. For the Intermediate re-attempt, see our CMA Intermediate course.

Open your scorecard and sort every paper into three piles: 60 or above, 40 to 59, and below 40. That list decides your next step. If you cleared both groups, check ICMAI's current Final requirements, including practical training, before you pay for any Final course. If a group failed, apply for verification only when a paper sits at 38 or 39, or the group aggregate is within a few marks of 50, and file the next exam form on time without waiting for the answer. If you cleared neither group you sat, pick the group you are closer to clearing for June 2027 and start with its weakest paper.
