I've done B.Tech (mechanical) and have experience in sales and marketing + product costing in automobile industry. Will CMA be good for me?

Hi,It is a good choice to do ICWA or CMA after your engineering. You will be a cost accountant cum Engineer, which makes you to standout from other cost accountants or engineers. It opens the more doors of opportunities in more companies. You will have the Commerce knowledge as well as mechanical related knowledge. So, it enables you to work in both the domains. To be a cost accountant (ICWA) first you need to register as a student in Institute of Cost Accountants of India (Link: Institute of Cost Accountants of India (<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://cmaicmai.in/students/Home.aspx" style='word-wrap:break-word;'>https://cmaicmai.in/students/Home.aspx</a>)). It consist of three levels. i.e., Foundation, Intermediate & Final. Since you are an engineer you can register as an intern level student and you can join any good coaching center near you. The intermediate level consist of two groups, you can take either one at a time or both. You can take exam twice in a year i.e., June or December. If you clear this in first attempt, it only takes 2 years to be a cost accountant (If you take one group at once). So, you can choose to become a Cost Accountant cum Engineer. Good luck.
