As an illustration, Uttaranchal University provides a B.Com with CMA Certification Course at the annual fee of approximately INR 1,25,036 for students more than 90% in their 12th grade. This includes academic fees, development fees, etc. On top of that, there is a specialization fee of INR 10,000 per semester for the CMA component.
Similarly, Srinivas University charges an annual fee of INR 93,000 for non-Karnataka students in the first year of their B.Com with Integrated USA-CMA program, with reduced fees in subsequent years. It is important to note that the fees are determined by factors such as the location of the institution, the infrastructure, and the curriculum. Students are therefore advised to check with individual colleges for the most accurate and up-to-date fee structures.
In addition to tuition fees, examination fees, library fees, and hostel/transportation services, for instance, have to be added. According to Uttaranchal University, one can have to pay for INR 4,600 per semester towards examination fees and INR 800 per semester towards library fees. The accommodation in a hostel and with mess will vary in charges from INR 87,000 to 1,30,000 per academic year based on the choice of accommodation.
Moreover, the certification itself costs the student entrance fees and examination fees to be paid to the IMA. Since October 1, 2023, CMA entrance fees for students have been $225, and an exam fee $370 per part. As a result, the cost to plan for B.Com with CMA will incorporate academic fees, plus the associated ancillary cost with certification and other services.
