Launching an online campaign, CMA (Certified Management Accountant) candidates registered their protest against mismanagement during the ongoing exams for foundation, intermediate, and final courses. The CMA exams are conducted twice every year – in June and in December, by the Institute of Cost Accountants of India (ICMAI).
Sharing their concerns at #cmaexams on Twitter, candidates demanded the ICMAI to do a course correction and conduct the exams in offline mode. Students pointed out that if other exams including UPSC could be conducted offline, why should the CMA exams be conducted online. “Why not offline if UPSC can conduct then why not we. Why online,” wrote a Twitter user sharing his concern.

Students complained of poor facilities at the exam centres and said that many of them do not even have a proper internet connection. “This is a professional exam? Management is zero, phones are allowed ( in some centres), today, 40% of students have not given exams due to internet and other failures. I think the institute is doing trial and error thing with our exam systems and every time there is a new problem,” wrote a user.

“Exam cancelled in Ranchi due to bad internet connection. Only a few students get chance to connect their system with wifi, rest were just sitting and in the last, they cancelled the exam. When will be it rescheduled? Why didn’t you take care of these things earlier?” wrote another user.

Demands of postponing the exams and conducting them offline at later dates were also echoed by some of the students. “If the institute is facing issues to conduct the exams online then please conduct them offline. Don’t play with students’ time and efforts. We had to wait 6 months to take up our examinations.,” read one of the tweets
