Update on CMA Intermediate & Final Results
If you are an Inter or Final candidate, your result has not been declared yet. According to the latest trends and official notifications, the ICMAI usually releases results for these levels about two months after the exam.
- Expected Date: February 11, 2026 (Tentative)
- Reason for Gap: Inter and Final papers are subjective and require more time for evaluation compared to the MCQ-based Foundation exam.
Passing Criteria & Merit List
To qualify the CMA Foundation exam, a student must secure:
- Minimum 40% marks in each individual subject.
- Minimum 50% marks in aggregate (total of all subjects).
Toppers List: Along with the individual scorecards, ICMAI often releases a “Merit List” or “Rank List” containing the names of the top 50 candidates. Vidhan Chhabra from Jaipur has reportedly secured All India Rank (AIR) 1 in this session (subject to official verification in the final press release).
