FAQ'S

GMA's core differentiator is its delivery methodology. Batch sizes are capped at 50 students per class — considerably smaller than the 150–300 students typical of comparable institutes — allowing for genuine personal attention and professional mentoring throughout the program. GMA is also proud of the fact that our we have had consistent 60% - 70% first-attempt success rates in Foundation & Intermediate exams. Students are evaluated on a continual basis through periodic offline and classroom assessments, enabling GMA to identify and address individual weaknesses promptly. A dedicated Student Advisor monitors each student's performance on an ongoing basis, with additional support extended to students who need it.
FINTEGRATED is a five-year structured programme that combines B.Com + CA + ACCA into a single, time-efficient coaching track for students completing their Standard XII / +2. Students prepare for the ICAI CA qualification during the first four years, pursue the B.Com component through the University of Madras Distance Education programme, complete the required Articleship stage, and are guided into ACCA preparation in the fifth year.
Yes. FINTEGRATED is designed to take advantage of the overlapping content, applicable exemptions, and reduced redundancy across these three qualifications, making concurrent preparation practical.
This program includes coaching for students for the ACCA (UK) certification. Students must appear for and clear the examinations conducted by the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (UK). ACCA grants an exemption from its first nine (Fundamental level) papers to students who have completed CA Final. After qualifying as a CA, the student will need to claim this exemption and complete the remaining four Professional-level ACCA papers, which can typically be finished within nine months of qualifying as a CA.
On average, it takes 4 years to complete all stages: CA Foundation, Intermediate, Articleship, and Final exams. With GMA’s structure, this timeline is effectively utilized.
Articleship is a 2-year practical training phase under a practicing CA or firm. It offers real-world experience in accounting, auditing, and taxation—an essential requirement before the CA Final exam.
