In brief

ICMAI's 2025 fee schedule makes a first Foundation sitting ₹7,500 and a Foundation-to-Final baseline ₹61,600 before applicable GST. Use this planner to price one stage at a time, then add only the repeat applications, conditional charges and written coaching quote that apply to you.

Worked example at the defaults

With Entry route at Foundation route, Stage and first exam-session plan at Intermediate, both groups in one session, Fee for each additional exam plan at Intermediate, both groups, Expected additional exam plans at 1, Practical-training registration charge at Include listed Intermediate charge, Coaching mode at Self-study or ICMAI tuition only, Written private-coaching quote at ₹0:

The planner adds the selected first stage plan, additional examination plans and any selected practical-training charge. ICMAI's 2025 CMA Prospectus supplies the course, examination, training and revalidation figures used here; the schedule says fees are subject to applicable GST.

Official costs by CMA stage Stacked bars compare official first-sitting CMA costs for Foundation, Intermediate and Final before GST.

A private coaching quote is added only after the official total, so a tuition package is not mistaken for an ICMAI payment.

Frequently asked

A further CMA exam application adds the published fee for the group or groups you enter. The planner treats the stage course fee as part of the first plan and adds only later exam applications, unless a separate ICMAI status charge such as revalidation or de novo registration applies.

ICMAI's published both-group examination fee is lower than paying for two separate one-group applications at both Intermediate and Final. That saving only matters if preparing both groups together fits your study plan, because the calculator does not treat a lower entry fee as evidence that the plan suits every candidate.

The official budget includes only the ICMAI charges selected in the calculator. A private coaching amount is included only when you enter a written quote yourself, which keeps provider tuition, materials, recordings, mock tests and taxes from being confused with official course and examination charges.

Yes. ICMAI lists Intermediate entry routes for candidates with qualifying prior credentials, including Foundation completion and specified direct-entry qualifications. Select an Intermediate stage plan only after confirming that your particular qualification is accepted for direct entry by ICMAI.
