✨ I’m incredibly humbled and overjoyed to share that I’ve successfully cleared all four sections of the US CPA exam✨

This journey has been intense: filled with long nights, early mornings, skipped vacations, and countless hours of study. It tested my limits, but more importantly, it taught me resilience, focus, and discipline.

Throughout the program, your performance is continuously tracked, ensuring you stay on the right path to clear the exam on your first attempt. 

The Pass in One Attempt Guarantee is valid only when all 5 prescribed steps, including structured preparation, bi-weekly game plan calls, full LMS usage, and complete guidance from the academic and operations team steps are followed. At EduMont no student is allowed to sit for the exam without faculty approval.  

We strongly recommend following this safety-net system to confidently claim your first-attempt success.

Yes. EduMont is 100% online with live bilingual chalk & talk classes, removing the language barrier, followed by real-time doubt resolution, and bi-weekly 1:1 game plan calls. Recorded class access ensures you never miss a session, regardless of time zone or schedule.

EduMont uses UWorld CPA Review because it’s built for structured, exam-ready preparation, not just content consumption. With unlimited access until you pass, exam-accurate simulations, and SmartPath adaptive technology, it helps reduce burnout and improve performance under real exam conditions.

UWorld offers AICPA-licensed, regularly updated content aligned with the latest CPA exam blueprints, making it highly outcome-focused. While Becker is also a strong platform, its time-bound access may require additional renewal costs, whereas UWorld supports EduMont’s goal of helping students pass on their first attempt without interruptions.

A standard prep week includes a live chalk-and-talk class with Rohan Sir (6-8 hours in an interactive whiteboard format), along with self-study on the UWorld LMS for MCQ practice and simulations, and access to recorded lectures for revision or catch-up. 

You will also attend two one-hour OTB classes every Tuesday and Thursday from 10-11 PM, where you solve MCQs and TBSs with your batch and learn how actual CPAs approach them. Every two weeks, you will have a 1:1 game plan call with Rohan Sir to review your progress, adjust your study plan, and clear conceptual doubts. 

For any exam scheduling or administrative queries, the operations team is available during support hours from 10 AM to 7 PM.

The majority of EduMont's students are working professionals - CAs, finance managers, and Big 4/6 professionals preparing alongside jobs. 

The programme is structured for approximately 15–20 focused hours per week, with recorded class access for catch-up when work gets heavy. The bi-weekly game plan call is specifically designed to re-sequence your exam order based on your current bandwidth - if you're in a busy period, Rohan Sir adjusts the plan rather than expecting you to keep pace. Students have cleared all four CPA papers in 12-18 months while being employed full-time.

EduMont’s operations team supports you through every step of the CPA journey, from credential evaluation (via WES/NASBA/FACS) and SBA (State Board of Accounting)  application to NTS issuance, Prometric slot booking across India, and even your CPA licence application after the exam. 

Since many first-time aspirants underestimate how complex and time-consuming these processes can be, having a dedicated team ensures a smooth, error-free experience while eliminating delays and unnecessary stress.

CAs already have a strong base in accounting, but some parts of the US CPA exam are very different, especially the US GAAP, US taxation, and task-based simulations (a question type not seen in India). Because of this, even experienced CAs usually need around 300–400 hours of focused study. A good coaching system helps you spend more time on new topics and less on what you already know, so your preparation stays efficient and on track.

The decision comes down to career direction. US CPA is the right choice if you're targeting public accounting, audit, Big 4 advisory, or globally recognised financial reporting roles - it is the most widely respected accounting designation worldwide. 

US CMA is the stronger option if you're building toward internal corporate finance, FP&A, controllership, or a CFO track inside a company. Both are offered at EduMont with the same level of faculty, materials, and operations support. If you're still undecided, our team helps you choose the right career path as well.

Typically, the US CPA exam can be challenging for students due to its less reliance on memory. However, 'challenging' does not mean impossible. If you prepare well and receive good instructions, it is very likely that you’ll pass. 

The overall pass% for CPA remains steady between 45-55%, globally. However, using the Safety-net System, EduMont students have reached a 98.72% first-attempt pass rate. This shows how the right guidance, clear targets, and practice can make a first-time pass highly likely.

The US CPA Exam is conducted at Prometric test centers across major Indian cities, including Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, and Kolkata. At EduMont, you don’t have to navigate this alone, our operations team handles your Prometric slot booking and ensures your exam schedule is secured, so you can focus entirely on preparation.

Yes, the investment is generally worth it. Starting salaries for US CPAs in India range from ₹8 LPA to ₹12 LPA at the entry levels and rise to ₹15 to 25 LPA with a few years of experience at the Big 4 firms or at multinational companies at the mid-level. As for the senior roles, one can expect salary packages anywhere between ₹50 LPA to ₹1+ Cr per annum, depending on experience.

For an Indian student, the total cost of becoming a US CPA is split into: the official exam fees paid to NASBA and the coaching and study materials.

The official exam fees are paid to NASBA and the US State Board of Accounting, which add up to about $3,965. This includes:

  • $250 for the evaluation fee
  • $140 for the state board registration fee
  • $900 per exam section × 4 sections (each section consists of $390 exam fee + $510 international testing fee)

(Converted on 25.03.26 at the rate of $1 = ₹94, this comes to roughly ₹3,72,610.)

The coaching and study materials usually cost extra. Most Indian students spend between ₹4.5 to 6 lakhs in total. If you need to retake any exams, the cost will go up.

Any candidate with a bachelor’s degree and at least 120 credits, including 24 accounting credits, can sit for the US CPA examination. 

Indian students with B.Com, B.Com (Hons), M.Com, or MBA degrees are eligible, often with help from bridge courses. Candidates with CA, CS, or ICWA qualifications usually qualify too.  

It is always recommended to get your credits evaluated; at EduMont, we get your credits evaluated by Ex-NASBA evaluators for free, so send your transcripts to academic@edumontclasses.com to avail a free eligibility check.
