Yes after the completion of CMA (Cost management accounting) students can undergo various internships.

 However, the training typically lasts for 3 years after the intermediate level, but students can begin their internship immediately after passing the intermediate exams. The ICMAI provides guidelines regarding the types of organizations where students can complete their training (e.g., in a company, firm, or with a qualified CMA professional).

CMA June Foundation admit card will release a week before the exam dates. The Institute of Cost Accountants of India (ICMAI) does not release the schedule for issuance of the CMA admit card. The admit card is downloadable from the official exam website a week before the exam date. Since the CMA June exam is scheduled to be held in the second week of June, candidates can expect the release of the CMA Foundation June admit card in the first week of June.

Yes, ICAI provides study material for CA Foundation, which includes previous years' papers and downloadable content. The ICAI also provides live lectures and sessions through its BoS Knowledge Portal. The study material can be accessed by registered candidates only. Once a student registers for the course, they are eligible to get the study material, sample papers, mock tests, lectures, etc.

About 6-8 hours daily would be good for CA Foundation exam preparation. Students must devote 6-8 hours on daily basis and through a time table that must include dedicated hours for studying topics, practicing questions and revision. Students must divide their time basis which subject of CA Foundation they find tough and which ones they find relatively easy.

Yes, CA Foundation books are enough for CA Foundation preparation, but candidates can refer to secondary study material too. ICAI provides sample papers, previous years' question papers, online lectures, mock tests and problem solving sessions for exam preparation. Students must make use of these and also use material provided by coaching centres.

To cover the CA Foundation syllabus about 6 months is needed. Students who have given the exam before may need less time. However, one must spend at least four months on exam preparation to score well. 

Yes, it is possible to clear CA Foundation in first attempt but for that one requires a strong study plan and dedicated execution. Coverage of CA Foundation syllabus is all about getting the concepts right and building strong foundation. Develop a strong foundation in basic concepts, prepare a daily time table to cover topics, practice questions and revision. Start preparation at least 6 months in advance.

The difficulty level of CA Foundation syllabus can be considered lower than CA Intermediate and CA Final but it is challenging as the syllabus is vast. Since it is the beginner's level course, it has topics that requires understanding of core concepts and principles. Given the extremely low pass percentage, CA Foundation is definitely not easy. It requires conceptual clarity of a number of topics related to business, accounting, taxation, laws, etc. and rigorous practice.
