Accounting & Commerce

To qualify for the exam, accountants must possess a Bachelor's degree and have been working for a minimum of two years in management accounting. Most universities with accounting degree programs offer CMA exam preparation courses.
The CMA exam is a 2-part exam. The first part covers financial accounting; planning, budgeting, and forecasting; performance management, cost management; and internal controls. The second part covers financial statement analysis, corporate finance, decision analysis and risk management, investment decisions and professional ethics. Its hard to quantify the difficulty of professional exams, but what we can do is to better prepare ourselves and aim to pass on our first try.
In general, you should commit to 90 or more hours of studying per exam. Depending on how long you can study per day, this can take anywhere from seven weeks to three months. But these are just general estimates. Some people might need to study for longer over a several-month period.

Hello Ram,
There are lots of courses which you can do after B.Com, it is just that opt for a course in the field which incites you. Courses like:-
1) Digital marketing
2) MBA
(and then take the exam of the specialized officers in banks).
3) M.Com
4) Law
5) Forensic accounting
6) Photography
7) Psychology
8) Animation
9) Interior designing
10) Journalism
One more thing I would like to suggest you is that do an internship while doing any course so that your efficiency will increase and even you can earn while learning and getting work experience.
Moreover, don't think about salary. Salary will depend only upon your efficiency. Just after finishing your course you may get more than INR 40,000 provided you are that much capable and efficient.
At the end, think twice before you choose any course that too in terms of your interest and not money.
All the best.
Please feel free to revert.

It would be difficult if you are pursuing this course due to peer pressure or any other pressure.
It is all within you. No course is easy or difficult, it is just the mindset. I was an above average student when I entered the course. My father was totally against my decision of doing this course. It was the last day of filing the entrance form and we were standing on the window to deposit the same. Before handing over the form to the CS official, my father confirmed from me for a last time that do I really want to do it. I nodded yes and trust me I never regretted that nod. I had failures, I was told by my father that I opted for a very difficult course and I will never succeed but today I am having my own share of success.
The crux of the story is going for it if you really want to. It is a more theory based course, having lots of laws, few boring papers but the beauty of this course is that you will always be updated about latest amendments.

Important preparation tips for students preparing for CS exams:
-Draft a schedule and stick to it.
-Focus on you modules first rather than referring to thousands of other supplementary books.
-Coaching and tution classes helps keep you motivated,ease and simplify your preparation but it may not stand true for each and all. You may or may not personally require coaching as per your level of intellect.
-Take it easy even if you fail initially once.Its not as easy that you appear for an exam and you clear it. Patience is the key here.
-You need to smartly work out the syllabus on basis of its importance and frequency of being asked in past examination.
Plan accordingly.

It's not true that CS professionals are treated as just degree holders. Just know that, once you finish the course in India, you have to wait for 2-years after practicing as a CS and you should apply for other memberships in which country you want to work. If you want to go with your Indian CS alone, there won't be many opportunities to work for an MNC to be a part of a different country's head.
The sane goes to CA's, even they have the same concept to work abroad.
Since CS is law based, there is a definite need to study the other country's law before working there. So it needs a membership. CA also requires knowing the different standards of the country. These professionals always had a catch to work in the area they want to work into.

Cracking ICWAI (CMA) exam could be a life-turning opportunity for any youth aspiring for it. But to make it a reality, lot of hardships in the form of dedicated study is required. CMA is a very rigorous exam which requires an in-depth knowledge of the subjects. So, keeping schedule for everyday and following it could be a game changing move.
The most important thing you must do to crack the exam is to maintain the institute notes and RTPs. Nothing gets better recalled than the hand written notes. So maintain them seriously. These things would help you till midway of your journey.
But the practice questions, mock tests or the researched study material made after surveying successful candidates will be the major stakeholders of reaching you to the goal. All this material could be found on the online coaching platforms. The only trustworthy name I could recall of is Superprofs. They have compiled top notch study material, provided strategies to crack the exam and many more.
I would recommend you to register it for at least trial period of 7 days after which you could continue it or not depending on your suitability.
