The eligibility criteria for a B.Com CMA are completion of 10+2 or equivalent from a recognized board with a minimum of 50% marks. Some universities require students to have studied commerce-related subjects such as Accountancy, Economics, or Mathematics. Most institutions offer direct admission based on merit, but some universities or colleges conduct entrance exams to assess the aptitude of applicants in commerce and finance.
Apart from this, for the CMA designation, one needs to separately register with either the Institute of Cost Accountants of India (ICMAI) or the CMA USA program. The registration for CMA is independent of BCom but may be pursued parallelly. Those universities that combine CMA with BCom ensure that students undergo systematic training and have exemptions from certain CMA exams and receive professional guidance. The aspiring candidate should check the specific requirements of the university since requirements vary with location, institution, and the particular CMA certification path one is pursuing.
