CMA Final Registration Last Date: June 2027 and December 2027

The CMA Final registration last date is 31 January 2027 for the June 2027 exam and 31 July 2027 for December 2027. The fee is ₹25,000, or ₹15,000 plus ₹10,000 by the same date. If you pass Inter in December 2026, June 2027 is not open to you, and your first Final attempt is December 2027.

Your first CMA Final attempt is set by the term you passed Inter, not by the date you fill the enrolment form.

TL;DR

• Enrol by 31 January 2027 (June) or 31 July 2027 (December). No extension as on 13 November 2026.
• Fee: ₹25,000, or ₹15,000 + ₹10,000 by the same cut-off.
• Passed Inter in June 2026: June 2027 is open. Passing in December 2026: December 2027.
• Before the exam form: the 10-day IOTP and 10 months of training on Form T5A.

What is the CMA Final registration last date for June 2027 and December 2027?

The ICMAI CMA Prospectus 2025 sets 31 January for the June exam and 31 July for December, at least four months before the exam. The other dates come from the prospectus and ICMAI's Form T5A circular of 12 September 2024 (June 2027, then December 2027):

• Final enrolment: 31 January 2027; 31 July 2027.
• Second instalment: 31 January 2027; 31 July 2027.
• Training reaches 10 months (Form T5A): 28 February 2027; 31 August 2027.
• Form T5A submitted: 5 April 2027; 5 October 2027.
• Tuition revalidation, if lapsed: 15 March 2027; 15 September 2027.
• Exam form without late fee: 10 April 2027; 10 October 2027.

Does ICMAI extend the Final enrolment date?

It did in each of the last four terms, by 4 to 10 days: to 10 February 2025, 8 August 2025, 10 February 2026 and, by ICMAI's circular of 28 July 2026, 4 August 2026. As on 13 November 2026 there was no June 2027 extension, so I would plan for 31 January. Our CMA Inter registration last date post has the full history.

Work to 31 January or 31 July; past extensions added 4 to 10 days.

Which CMA Final attempt can you take after passing Inter?

You can sit Final only if you passed Inter by the penultimate term. The prospectus says a December Inter passer "shall not be allowed to sit for the next June examination".

I set ICMAI's cut-off notices against reported Inter result dates:

• Inter December 2024: result 11 February 2025; June 2025 enrolment closed 10 February 2025 (1 day before); first Final December 2025.
• Inter June 2025: result 11 August 2025; December 2025 enrolment closed 8 August 2025 (3 days before); first Final June 2026.
• Inter December 2025: result 11 February 2026; June 2026 enrolment closed 10 February 2026 (1 day before); first Final December 2026.
• Inter June 2026: result 5 August 2026; December 2026 enrolment closed 4 August 2026 (1 day before); first Final June 2027.
• Inter December 2026: result by 5 February 2027; June 2027 is barred by the penultimate rule; first Final December 2027.

Source: ICMAI cut-off notices and news reports of result dates; December 2026 from ICMAI's December 2026 time table.

In all four terms the Inter result came out one to three days after the next Final enrolment had closed. Those students could not write that term anyway, so no attempt was lost.

Pass Inter in June and your first Final is the next June; pass in December and it is the next December.

How much is the CMA Final registration fee, and can you pay in instalments?

• Option I: ₹25,000 at once, for postal (e-learning) or oral tuition.
• Option II: ₹15,000 at enrolment, ₹10,000 by 31 January (June) or 31 July (December).
• Exam fee, with each exam form: ₹1,800 for one group, ₹3,200 for both.
• Tuition revalidation: ₹1,000 per group. Elective change: ₹1,000.
• De Novo registration: ₹5,000. Students abroad: US$800 for postal tuition, no instalments.

GST is extra, and ICMAI does not refund the course fee once enrolment is complete. The first instalment brings study material for both groups and tuition for one; the second opens tuition for the other group and the IOTP.

What happens if you miss the second instalment?

You cannot sit the exam. ICMAI still takes it by a cut-off date in any of the next three consecutive terms; after that, the ₹15,000 is forfeited.

Budget ₹25,000 plus GST once, and ₹3,200 each time you write both groups.

Who can enrol in CMA Final, and what do you need?

Only students who have passed both groups of CMA Intermediate can enrol. Attach your Inter pass marksheet to the admission form. You also pick your elective at enrolment: 20A Strategic Performance Management and Business Valuation, 20B Risk Management in Banking and Insurance, or 20C Entrepreneurship and Start up. Our post on choosing the CMA Final elective compares them. Students abroad apply to ICMAI's Directorate of Studies in Kolkata.

Pass both Inter groups, then pick your elective on the form.

How do you register for CMA Final online?

1. Log in to the ICMAI student portal (eicmai.in/studentportal).
2. Open the Final course enrolment form and pick postal (e-learning) or oral tuition.
3. Select your elective: 20A, 20B or 20C.
4. Upload your Intermediate pass marksheet.
5. Pay ₹25,000, or the ₹15,000 first instalment, before the cut-off.
6. Save the acknowledgement and check the enrolment on the portal.

One online form and one payment, done by 31 January or 31 July.

What must you finish between enrolment and the Final exam form?

To write both groups, or the remaining group, you need:

• The 10-day Industry Oriented Training Programme (IOTP), before that exam form.
• 80 hours of Skills Training, which the prospectus sets for Final level.
• 10 months of practical training on Form T5A by 28 February (June) or 31 August (December).
• The full 15 months on Form T5B by 10 August (June) or 10 February (December), before the result.

The prospectus still says 15 months before you sit; the T5A circular changed that from the December 2024 term. Our ICMAI practical training post covers Forms T-1 to T5B and the stipend.

A worked example for June 2027

You passed Inter in June 2026 and want both groups in June 2027. For 10 months by 28 February 2027, training must have begun by 1 May 2026. If it began on 1 September 2026, you have 6 months. Write one group in June 2027, since the gates apply to both groups or the remaining group, and the other in December 2027, with 12 months by 31 August 2027.

Count training months back from 28 February or 31 August; short of 10, write one group first.

How long does CMA registration stay valid?

Seven years from your date of registration with ICMAI. After that you need De Novo registration (₹5,000), normally granted once; a second needs one group passed or two papers exempted. You pass a group with 40% in each paper and 50% in aggregate, and 60% in a paper earns an exemption for the next three terms.

Finish Final inside seven years or pay ₹5,000 for De Novo.

Using the months before your first Final attempt

My advice: enrol soon after your Inter result and pay both instalments, since the second opens the IOTP. Then write full papers against the clock.

Gradehunt's CMA Final test series has you write papers by hand and upload them. CMA professionals check each copy within 48 hours of upload, with step-wise marks and comments, and Full Syllabus Mock Tests start from Rs 199 per subject.
