Co s t a n d M a n a g e m e n t Accountancy is

an industry oriented course conducted by the The Ins�tute of Cost Accountant of India which itself is a premier Ins�tu�on of India which offers educa�on and develops the profession of Cost Accountancy in the country.

In today's era, CMA are specialized in various role such as Managerial Decision, Budge�ng And Standard, Produc�on And Service Management, Finance, Cost Audit, Internal Audit, Fund Management Planning etc which ul�mately will helps one to reach highest posi�on of professional career.

I have joined CMA a�er comple�ng my Gradua�on. Although students can prepare from earliest a�er comple�on of Senior Secondary Examina�on. CMA can be completed in short span of �me in compare as compared to other professional courses and that drove me to join this course.

During intermediate, Apart from taking ample material educa�on such as cos�ng, taxa�on, accoun�ng and 100 hrs mandatory computer training also helps student a lot to improve their skill in computer proficiency.

In final level, Students needs to go minimum 6 months of prac�cal training before appearing for final examina�on which is very convenient in compare to other professional courses although comple�on of 3years of prac�cal training is must to become member of the Ins�tute. Proper prac�cal training is very helpful for the students as it give opportunity to the students to apply the prac�cal approach of whatever we learnt

during the course just a�er passing the intermediate exam.

A�er clearing CMA final, our ins�tute organizes a Pre-Placement Orienta�on Programme which generally last for 12 days and help us to refresh lots of current and important topics such as Accoun�ng, Cost Sheet, IND AS, GST, Filing Return, Company Laws, Excel etc. This orienta�on programme also helps us to crack interview by enhancing our so� skill through organizing mock personal interviews (PI), mock Group Discussion (GD), correct resume wri�ng, how to appear before HRs etc. which too helped me to build a confidence, further enhance my so� skill.

Ins�tute organizes various Campuses, where freshly qualified CMA can appear and can ini�ally start their career in big campus with high amount of packages. Last year, Ins�tute has organized consequently three Campus Placement Programmes - Main CMA Campus Placement Programme, Extended Campus Placement at Chapter level, and Winter Campus Placement Programme as well as it place students in various companies through off-campus placement drives too where I also got an opportunity to get placed in Care Ra�ngs Ltd. I am very thankful to The Ins�tute of Cost Accountants of India for shaping my career.

Personally, my sugges�on to students is that they should start prepara�on for CMAs right a�er passing Senior Secondary exam by which they can clear their CMAs at younger ages and start their career as early as possible. Also a student should focus on proper prac�cal training and devote their adequate �me in it to become industry-ready. So, do proper hard work, prepare well for the exam & the interview, be calm, be confident and keep posi�ve a�tude, success will surely come.

Hello everyone, it's a pleasure sharing my placement drive experience which was undoubtedly excellent. In those 12 days orienta�on program I got to learn various things regarding how the real corporate world works from experts of the

respec�ve fields which had enhanced my knowledge. I got the opportunity to meet some industry experts who mo�vated us by sharing their own experience. They told us regarding what the industry expects from us being a professional and how can we contribute in it. So overall it was a good experience. Ins�tute's Placement Directorate is very suppor�ve in providing all details rela�ng to placement drive. If anyone has any queries then they are always there to solve it. I will say that in order to make a placement drive successful it requires the par�cipa�on of the whole placement cell. The 12 days orienta�on program was very helpful for me to crack the interview. It helped me in building confidence level and personality. Mock GDs and mock interview that had taken place was helpful. The industrial knowledge provided by eminent personali�es helped a lot in increasing my mo�va�on and passion towards industry. And Yes, I am happy with my placement this was the first interview I appeared in the CMA Campus Placement Drive and in the first instance only I was selected that to in my dream company (GAIL INDIA LIMITED). My sugges�ons to other upcoming CMAs is that just be honest with yourself and be confident while appearing for the interview. Along with this, it is necessary to be aware of Current Affairs and domain knowledge and obviously your dressing sense ma�ers too.

Thanks & Regards

CMA Ujjal Gupta

Definitely CMA course is worth op�ng for as this course gives you an opportunity across various fields such as Cos�ng, Management Accoun�ng, Audit, Taxa�on, Corporate Law.

With regard to the pre-placement orienta�on programme conducted by the ins�tute, it has for sure helped me during the placement. The placement programme helped in sharpening my skill set. Further it was an opportunity for us to know how to tackle Group discussions, interviews through mocks conducted by the ins�tute.

It is always a dream to get placed in a Company like ITC limited and this came true through the generous efforts poured in by the ins�tute.

I would also like to thank each and every person involved in organising the Orienta�on and placement.

T h e h a p p i n e s s o f s e e i n g t h e t e r m “Congratula�ons" on that laptop screen almost had me in tears. Those were possibly the best

few days of my life because that pride of clearing one of the toughest exams in India is amazing. But the next few weeks were also confusing because it was the �me for me to decide what to do, which type of profile to go for? Whether to go in the industry or to go for prac�ce? I had decided to be placed but there was a lot of anxiety for the placement process. But as we know every problem has its solu�ons and for me the solu�on was the Orienta�on Programme, conducted by THE INSTITUTE OF COST ACCOUNTANTS OF INDIA where different eminent facul�es having vast knowledge of different professional fields were there to guide many students who had cleared the exam and help us in understanding what the industry expects from us being a professional and how can we contribute in it. The Orienta�on program focuses on developing students interpersonal, communica�on and presenta�on skills, it also focuses on grooming students developing their so� skills making them more confident and professional before appearing the placement interview and thus its gave me the opportunity to be placed in L&T co through placement programme conducted by our ins�tute on 5�� October 2018 a�er becoming qualified cost and management accountant of India in June 2018.

The Orienta�on programme helped us not only by revising our studies but also helped to equip ourselves

with related current affairs which made us confident to crack the interview.

Also orienta�on programme is like a relief of ones stress by doing ac�vi�es, groom up ones so� skills with hidden talents and most importantly make lots of contacts, knowing people, ge�ng a view of others regarding our future plans.

It's good overall and a great ini�a�ve by ICAI.

Lastly, I would like to take this opportunity to show my gra�tude towards the chairman, CMA Manas Kumar Thakur sir and his team who put their efforts to bring those companies under the roof of the ins�tute and gave us the chance to present ourselves and be placed.

My sugges�on for all my juniors will be to work hard, be dedicated and stay focused in their goals. These are the most important for one to be successful in any field.

Feeling Proud to be CMA and the member of THE INSTITUTE OF COST ACCOUNTANTS OF INDIA.

Things which never seemed too important will look like the most important aspects. New topics and amendments will be covered along with mock

interviews, group discussions etc. mak ing i t more interes�ng each day.
