Every December term, a few students in Coimbatore do everything right except this one form — and then cannot sit the exam.
Quick answer
The CMA Intermediate exam form for December 2026 is filled online at examicmai.in — not on the main icmai.in site. The regular last date, 10 October 2026, has passed, but you can still apply until 17 October 2026 with a ₹500 late fee. Do not wait for the last day. You need your ICMAI registration number, a scanned photo and signature under 40 KB each, and a card or net banking to pay.
Documents required for the CMA Intermediate exam form
- Your ICMAI registration number — the one issued when you registered for Intermediate.
- A passport photo in .jpg, .jpeg or .bmp, under 40 KB, properly cropped.
- Your signature scanned in the same formats and size limit.
- A working email ID and mobile number — your admit card and every notice go there.
- Debit card, credit card, net banking, or the IDBI pay module.
No certificates or mark sheets are uploaded at this stage. That was done at registration.
Step-by-step process to apply
- Open the online examination application and choose Intermediate.
- Read the instructions and accept them.
- Enter your registration number and check the details that appear.
- Fill in the student details — personal, academic and contact.
- Select your group — Group 1, Group 2 or both — and your exam centre choices in order of preference.
- Upload the photo and signature within the size limit.
- Re-check email, mobile, photo and signature, then pay.
- Download the acknowledgement and the payment receipt. Keep both until your admit card arrives.

Three mistakes that cost students the exam. One — assuming course registration covers this; it does not, and we explain the difference in registration vs exam form. Two — filling it on the last day, when the portal crawls and payments fail. Three — re-paying immediately after a failed payment. If money left your account, wait three working days for the status to update, then write to exam.helpdesk@icmai.in.
Exam dates themselves are in our post on the CMA December 2026 exam dates. At Masters Professional Academy, a CMA coaching institute in Coimbatore, we sit with our Intermediate students in the first week of October and fill this form with them, so nobody discovers the problem in November. Short walkthroughs also go up on the MPA Instagram and YouTube channels.
