 Hi Manisha, The Institute of Cost Accountants of India (ICAI), formerly known as ICWAI, is the premier body for Cost and Management Accountancy in India. It offers the Certified Management Accountant (CMA) qualification, focusing on cost management, financial planning, and performance management. If your interest lies in these areas, pursuing the CMA through ICAI would be beneficial. However, if you aim to become a Chartered Accountant (CA), you should consider enrolling with the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI).I hope this clarifies the distinction. Please feel free to ask if you have any more questions. Wishing you success in your professional journey!

Hi Raj, To become a Chartered Accountant (CA) in India, enrolling in a specific college is not mandatory. The CA qualification is administered by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI). You can register directly with ICAI and pursue the course independently. However, some students opt to join coaching institutes or colleges that offer guidance for CA examinations. The CA programme comprises three levels: Foundation, Intermediate, and Final, along with practical training. After completing your 12th standard, you can register for the CA Foundation course through ICAI.I hope this clarifies your query. Please feel free to ask if you have any more questions. Wishing you success in your CA journey!
