"Manikanta Sir made sure that I had all the necessary resources and always found a way to make it easy for me to learn the technical aspects. The Focus on “Why” rather than “What” and “How” made the subjects much more interesting and easier."

"But Manikanta Sir’s lessons were instrumental in making me confident about the exam. Taking up a professional certification requires being able to think independently rather than being only book-educated, and Sir ensures that we realize the importance of gaining knowledge."

ACCA: Frequently Asked Questions

Who is eligible to enrol in ACCA?

Graduates from any discipline can start ACCA directly, often with exemptions. Class 12 students with at least 65% in Mathematics or Accounts and English, and 50% in their other subjects, can start ACCA directly at Applied Knowledge; anyone who doesn’t meet those marks can start with the Foundations in Accountancy (FIA) route. There is no age restriction — working professionals and career changers are equally welcome.

How many papers are there in ACCA and how long does it take to complete?

ACCA consists of 13 papers across three levels: Applied Knowledge (3 papers), Applied Skills (6 papers), and Strategic Professional (4 papers, of which 2 are compulsory and 2 are chosen from options). You must also complete the Ethics and Professional Skills module (EPSM) and 36 months of Practical Experience (PER). With exemptions and consistent sittings, most candidates complete ACCA in 2.5 to 4 years.

Can I get exemptions from ACCA papers if I am a CA, B.Com, or MBA graduate?

Yes. ACCA grants exemptions based on your prior qualifications. Indian Chartered Accountants (CA) can receive up to 9 paper exemptions, covering the entire Applied Knowledge and Applied Skills levels. B.Com graduates typically receive 3–4 exemptions at the Applied Knowledge level. MBA (Finance) graduates may qualify for exemptions at the Applied Skills level depending on their university. Exemptions are assessed individually by ACCA — Global Fin X can guide you through the exemption application process.

When are the ACCA exam dates and how do I book my exams?

ACCA offers four exam sittings per year: March, June, September, and December. Applied Knowledge papers can be sat on demand at any approved computer-based exam (CBE) centre throughout the year. Applied Skills and Strategic Professional papers follow the quarterly schedule. You book your exams directly through the myACCA portal at accaglobal.com. Results are typically released seven weeks after the exam sitting.

What is the Global Fin X tuition fee for ACCA?

Global Fin X charges tuition fees on a per-paper basis, ranging from ₹10,000 to ₹15,000 per paper depending on the level. Strategic Professional papers (SBL, SBR, and Options) are priced higher due to their complexity and the depth of tutor involvement. This fee covers recorded lectures, digital class notes, handwritten faculty notes, mock exams, and Telegram group support. ACCA registration and exam fees are paid separately and directly to ACCA (UK).

How do I access my Global Fin X ACCA lectures?

On successful enrolment, you will receive login credentials for the Global Fin X learning portal. Lectures are accessible on Windows PC, Mac, Android, and iOS devices. Each paper comes with 6 months of access, with a watch time of 3× each lecture’s length. If you are unable to sit or do not clear the exam, access is extended free until you pass — just ask.

How many times can I watch each lecture?

As often as you like, within a total watch time of 3× the lecture’s length. For example, a 60-minute lecture gives you 180 minutes of viewing: watch 20 minutes and you still have 160 left, and you can restart or resume where you stopped.

Are study materials and class notes provided?

Yes. A PDF of the digital class notes, including the faculty’s handwritten notes and any Excel solutions worked in the lectures, is shared on Google Drive, and other materials are shared in the paper’s Telegram group.

How can I get help or ask questions?

Academic doubts can be raised directly in your paper-specific Telegram group, where the faculty responds during working hours. For administrative queries, reach Global Fin X on WhatsApp or call +91 8328080730, email info@globalfinx.in, or use the contact form on the website. Support is available Monday to Saturday, 9 AM to 8 PM, and Sunday, 9 AM to 2 PM.
