CMA Course Fees, Level by Level
Roughly ₹53,000 in ICMAI course fees across all three levels, before coaching and exam fees. Here is the split and what it leaves out.
Approximate ICMAI course fees run around ₹6,000 for Foundation, ₹22,000 for Intermediate and ₹25,000 for Final, roughly ₹53,000 across the full course. Those figures exclude coaching and exam fees, which is why the all-in cost of becoming a CMA is higher than the course fee alone.
By professional-qualification standards, that is a modest entry price. The bigger budget lines for most candidates are optional coaching, per-term exam fees, and the opportunity cost of 3 to 4 years of part-time study.

Direct Entry Changes the Total
