Primary source: IMA — Enroll in the CMA. IMA promotions can temporarily reduce some fees, so always check the official page before paying.
IMA charges in USD. A rupee figure hard-coded into a website becomes inaccurate as exchange rates change, and promotions can also change entrance or membership pricing. Use the USD table as the source of truth, then check your card/bank conversion at the time of payment.
Apex programs are separate from IMA and are paid to Apex, not to IMA. Which product makes sense depends on where you are in preparation.
IMA's regular 2026 student/academic exam fee is $407 per part, plus membership and the one-time entrance fee.
IMA's regular professional exam fee is $545 per part, plus $295 membership and a $300 entrance fee.
IMA periodically runs promotions. Because promotions can expire, the permanent website uses regular fees and links to IMA for current offers.
