Absolutely! Many subjects like Financial Accounting, Corporate Law, Taxation, and Auditing directly overlap with professional courses. Students often say that their B.Com (Hons) syllabus gives them a head start in cracking CA/CS/CMA exams, saving them study time later.

The CMA programme in USA, offers flexibility for aspiring management accountants to complete the course. While CMA in USA typically takes 12 to 18 months to complete both exam parts, however, dedicated students can finish in 6 to 9 months also.
