Hi,
I think with an Indian or Pakistan B.Com, hopefully very few papers may be given as exemptions, if not – no exemptions at all. At the moment, I suggest you to go with MBA. After the completion of your MBA, you may apply for the CMGA – CIMA Master Gateway Assessment where you have to take an exam which will focus mainly on the CIMA Management level papers. Upon completion of CMGA, you will directly go into CIMA Strategic levels and proceed further. This way seems easier as well as money-saving for you, rather than trying to register for CIMA using the B.Com qualification now. good luck.As you already pursuing MBA, do what was suggested above.
In the mean time look at previous exam papers and listen to opentuition lectures.
The exams are very practical, so completely different from Indian exams which is based on rote learning, also be careful as it involves huge costs, so after doing previous papers if you feel confident, do it after completing your MBA.
See the link given below, which may be useful to you.MBA holders can seek advanced entry to CIMA by sitting the CIMA master’s gateway assessment exam (CMGA).
If you pass the CMGA exam, you will be granted 11 exemptions from CIMA’s certificate, operational and management level exams.
Once you pass, you can start studying for CIMA’s strategic level exams. You will also be awarded the CIMA advanced diploma in management accounting.
