CMA Coaching in Delhi: Institutes, Classes and Fees

In Delhi, CMA coaching comes in two layers: the coaching of the Institute of Cost Accountants of India (ICMAI), which every Foundation, Intermediate and Final student must take, postal or oral, for a tuition fee of ₹6,000, ₹23,100 or ₹25,000 (CMA Prospectus 2025, Annexure IX), and optional private institutes. In Delhi NCR, ICMAI works through its Northern India Regional Council (NIRC) at CMA Bhawan, Lodhi Road, New Delhi, and its chapters in Noida, Greater Noida, Ghaziabad, Faridabad, Gurgaon and Sonepat. ICMAI publishes no ranking of private institutes, so there is no official list of the "best CMA institute in Delhi"; judge a private class by what it adds to ICMAI's coaching.

Key points

  • None of the 24 institutions on ICMAI's list of accredited institutions (updated till 4 September 2026) is in Delhi.
  • To join ICMAI's coaching for a term, admission, registration or enrolment must be done by 31 January for the June exam or 31 July for the December exam.
  • ICMAI's exam fees are separate from tuition: ₹1,500 for Foundation, ₹1,500 or ₹2,800 for Intermediate, and ₹1,800 or ₹3,200 for Final (one group or both).
  • US CMA is a different qualification, awarded by the Institute of Management Accountants (IMA), not ICMAI.

CMA Coaching Institutes in Delhi

When people search for a "CMA institute in Delhi", they can mean ICMAI itself, an ICMAI centre where its oral coaching is held, or a private coaching institute. They are not the same:

Type What it is How to find one in Delhi NCR
ICMAI (the Institute) The statutory body that runs the CMA course, sets the syllabus and exams and awards the qualification. Its headquarters are at CMA Bhawan, 3 Institutional Area, Lodhi Road, New Delhi. icmai.in
ICMAI's regional council and chapters Places where ICMAI's oral coaching can be taken, along with recognised oral coaching centres and accredited institutions NIRC, at the same Lodhi Road address (nirc-icmai.in), and the NCR chapters listed on ICMAI's Northern India Region chapters page
ICMAI accredited institutions Colleges and institutes accredited by ICMAI to give its coaching ICMAI's list of accredited institutions (updated till 4 September 2026) names 24 institutions, none of them in Delhi
Private coaching institutes Independent classes, in a classroom or online, that you pay for separately Not listed or ranked by ICMAI; compare them yourself using the checks below

An earlier version of this article listed private institutes by locality. We have removed that list because we could not confirm from an official or primary source that the details (addresses, courses, standing) are current, and no official body ranks CMA coaching institutes. If you are looking at a private institute, visit it, check its current timetable and fees in writing, and use the checklist in how to choose below.

CMA Coaching in Delhi: How ICMAI's Coaching Works

ICMAI's prospectus says that a student eligible for admission to a course "has to undergo and complete Coaching for the relevant course". You choose one of two modes when you take admission to Foundation, register for Intermediate or enrol for Final (CMA Prospectus 2025, Coaching Scheme):

  • Postal coaching (e-learning): ICMAI sends the study material for each subject to your registered address.
  • Oral coaching: you join a regional council, chapter, recognised oral coaching centre or accredited institution with coaching facilities. Oral coaching for Foundation, or for each group of Intermediate or Final, lasts 4 months with at least 240 lecture hours of lectures and tutorials, each lecture hour being 45 minutes. The centre holds an exam in each subject and gives you ICMAI's study material.

The tuition fee is the same for both modes. At Intermediate and Final you enrol for the coaching of both groups when you register or enrol, and the cut-off is the same for every level: 31 January for the June exam and 31 July for the December exam (CMA Prospectus 2025). If you change your mind, you can switch from oral to postal, postal to oral, or one centre to another once, within 30 days of admission, registration or enrolment, for ₹500 (Annexure IX). Our guide to CMA coaching centres in India explains the scheme in more detail.

ICMAI centres in Delhi NCR

ICMAI's chapter list for the Northern India Region has no separate Delhi chapter; NIRC itself is based in New Delhi. These are NIRC and the NIRC chapters around Delhi (ICMAI's Regional Councils and Northern India Region chapters pages):

Centre Where
Northern India Regional Council (NIRC) CMA Bhawan, 3 Institutional Area, Lodhi Road, New Delhi 110 003; email nirc@icmai.in
Noida Chapter Noida, Uttar Pradesh
Greater Noida Chapter Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh
Ghaziabad Chapter Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh
Faridabad Chapter Faridabad, Haryana
Gurgaon Chapter Gurgaon (Gurugram), Haryana
Sonepat Chapter Sonepat, Haryana

ICMAI's website also lists an institute office at CMA Bhawan, C-42, Sector 62, Noida. The prospectus counts 401 recognised oral coaching centres across India but does not list them by city, so ask NIRC or your nearest chapter which centres run oral coaching for your level and term. NIRC's website also has a Recorded Classes page that links to its YouTube channel.

For the exam itself, the CMA Prospectus 2025 (Annexure XI) lists Delhi, Faridabad, Ghaziabad, Gurgaon and Noida among ICMAI's exam centres in the Northern region. Confirm the centres in the exam form for your term, as they can change.

How Much Will CMA Classes In Delhi Cost You?

ICMAI's fee table has one inland rate, so its fees are the same in Delhi as anywhere else in India. The tuition fee pays for ICMAI's postal or oral coaching (CMA Prospectus 2025, Annexure IX):

Level ICMAI tuition fee Instalment option
Foundation ₹6,000 –
Intermediate ₹23,100 ₹12,000 at registration, ₹11,100 by 31 January (June term) or 31 July (December term)
Final ₹25,000 ₹15,000 at enrolment, ₹10,000 by 31 January (June term) or 31 July (December term)

Exam fees are charged separately each term: ₹1,500 for Foundation, ₹1,500 for one Intermediate group or ₹2,800 for both, and ₹1,800 for one Final group or ₹3,200 for both. Fees are subject to GST where it applies, and the instalment option is not open to foreign students. Our guide to CMA course fees adds ICMAI's other charges and the total cost of the course.

Private coaching fees in Delhi are set by each institute, and no official body publishes them; the price ranges in earlier versions of this article had no source and have been removed. Before you pay, get in writing:

  • whether the fee is per paper, per group or for the whole level;
  • what it includes: books, notes, mock tests, recordings, doubt sessions;
  • how long you can access recordings or attend classes, and whether the course runs to your exam term;
  • the refund and batch-change terms.

Because Intermediate and Final are taken in two groups, also ask whether a course is sold for one group as well as for both.

How To Choose The Best CMA Coaching In Delhi

The right coaching depends on your level, your timetable and how you learn, so compare institutes on things you can check yourself.

Factors to Consider

  1. Faculty experience: ask who teaches each paper, what their qualifications are and how long they have taught it. Attend a demo class before you pay.
  2. Results claims: in our view, a claimed "success rate" is hard to check, because there is no official list of results by coaching institute to compare it with. Ask how the institute counts it (all students or only toppers, which term) and treat claims you cannot verify with caution.
  3. Student reviews: read recent reviews from several sources, and talk to current students about class regularity and doubt support.
  4. Syllabus and timing: the course should follow ICMAI's Syllabus 2022 and your exam term (June or December), and finish in time for revision. ICMAI allows Intermediate and Final candidates to write their answers in Hindi (CMA Prospectus 2025), so ask about the teaching language if that matters to you.
  5. Location and facilities: in a city of Delhi's size, travel time matters. Check the distance from home or college, batch timings, class size, and whether recordings of missed classes are available.
  6. Course fees: compare what is included, not just the price, using the questions in the fee section above.

Whichever institute you choose, ICMAI's coaching remains compulsory, so register with ICMAI by the cut-off for your term.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is The Duration Of CMA Coaching In Delhi?

ICMAI's oral coaching lasts 4 months for Foundation and 4 months for each group of Intermediate or Final, with at least 240 lecture hours (CMA Prospectus 2025). Private courses set their own length. For how long the whole CMA course takes, see our guide to CMA course duration.

Yes. ICMAI's E-Learning page links to its own Online Coaching Classes: you log in on ICMAI's Event Portal with your registration number and date of birth, and the classes run on Microsoft Teams. Many private institutes teach live online or through recorded lectures. Our guide to CMA online classes compares the options.

How Can I Enroll In A CMA Institute In Delhi?

First register with ICMAI for your level, online on its student portal, by 31 January for the June exam or 31 July for the December exam, and choose postal or oral coaching and your centre (CMA Prospectus 2025). A private institute is joined separately, on its own terms.

Are There CMA Colleges In Delhi?

No college awards the CMA qualification; only ICMAI does. ICMAI accredits some colleges and institutes to give its coaching, but none of the 24 on its list (updated till 4 September 2026) is in Delhi.

Is US CMA Coaching In Delhi The Same As CMA Coaching?

No. US CMA (Certified Management Accountant) is a different qualification, awarded by the Institute of Management Accountants (IMA), not by ICMAI. ICMAI's coaching, fees and centres described in this article apply only to the Indian CMA course.
