The Cost and Management Accountant programme — law papers (CMA Law papers) is administered by Institute of Cost Accountants of India. Its law components cover commercial and industrial law components of the CMA course.
These are professional qualification routes rather than Public Service Commission judicial examinations, but they demand sustained statute reading comparable to commercial-law papers in LL.B. programmes.
