CMA December 2026 Registration: The Institute of Cost Accountants of India (ICMAI) has extended the last date for admission, registration, and enrolment to its CMA Foundation, Intermediate, and Final courses for the December 2026 term. Candidates now have until August 4, 2026, to apply, up from the earlier deadline of July 31.
The CMA December 2026 Registration extension was announced through an official notice issued by ICMAI on July 3, 2026, giving aspirants a few extra days to complete the ICMAI admission form through the online student portal.
Why the Deadline Matters
Registering by the cutoff date is what makes a candidate eligible to sit for the December 2026 examination cycle. Students who miss the August 4 deadline will not be able to appear this term and will have to wait for the next cycle. ICMAI issued the extension under Regulation 20B of the Cost and Works Accountants Regulations, which allows the institute to revise admission timelines when required.
