ACCA Course Fees in Delhi (2026): Full Cost Breakdown

Quick answer:
ACCA’s own fees — registration, annual subscription, all 13 exam papers and the ethics module, with no resits or lapses — come to roughly ₹2.2-2.8 lakhs in Delhi, since ACCA charges the same GBP-denominated fees everywhere. Add coaching (₹80,000-₹2,00,000 depending on the institute and mode) and study materials (₹10,000-₹25,000/level), and a realistic all-in budget is ₹3-4.5 lakhs. Exemptions, scholarships and Approved Learning Partner discounts can bring this down meaningfully.

The ACCA qualification doesn’t have one sticker price — it’s a mix of fees you pay directly to ACCA and fees you pay to whoever coaches you through it. Delhi students pay the same ACCA fees as anywhere else in the world, since ACCA prices everything in GBP; what varies locally is coaching and material costs. Here’s the full breakdown.

These go directly to ACCA, not to any coaching institute, and are identical whether you’re in Delhi, Mumbai or London.

Rough total for ACCA’s own fees alone — registration, roughly 3 years of subscription, all 13 papers and EPSM, no resits — comes to approximately ₹2.2-2.8 lakhs. Late booking, rescheduling and resits add on top of this: late fees run up to £50/paper, rescheduling £40-£60, and a resit simply means paying the exam fee again.

Prior qualifications (B.Com, CA, MBA-Finance and others) can exempt you from some papers — but exemptions aren’t free. The exemption fee per paper is close to the exam fee itself (£84-£111, roughly ₹9,700-₹12,900), so exemptions save you study time and multiple sitting attempts more than they save money outright — unless your coaching provider discounts them. IMS Proschool, for instance, discounts exemption fees by up to 82% for its students, which is real money back for CAs claiming exemptions across most of the Applied Knowledge and Applied Skills papers.

For which qualifications get which exemptions, see The ACCA Exemptions Guide.

• Coaching/tuition: Delhi institutes typically charge ₹80,000-₹2,00,000 for the full ACCA course, depending on the provider, mode (online/offline/recorded) and whether you pay per paper or in bundles.
• Study materials: official ACCA-approved materials run ₹10,000-₹25,000 per level, less if you go digital-only.

Packages that bundle tuition, materials, mock tests and placement support are usually better value than paying per paper — check what’s actually included before comparing headline prices across providers.

• Enrol through an Approved Learning Partner: ALPs get exclusive discounts to pass on, particularly on exemption and subscription fees — see what ACCA Approved Learning Partners are for how the tiers work.
• Apply for scholarships: the Simpson Scholarship is merit-based and can cover a large share of your costs if you qualify.
• Choose bundles over per-paper payments: bundled pricing usually includes materials, mock tests and revision support that would otherwise cost extra.
• Use ACCA’s free resources: the ACCA Study Hub, past papers and examiner reports are free and reduce how much you need to spend on third-party materials.
• Avoid resits: since a resit costs the full exam fee again, thorough first-attempt preparation is the single biggest cost lever you control.

IMS Proschool is a Gold-tier ACCA Approved Learning Partner — a status ACCA awards only to providers that meet higher bars on pass rates, tutor quality and student support than the entry-level Silver tier. In Delhi-NCR, that means centres in Connaught Place and Pitampura plus online batches, with per-level and per-paper packages, up to 82% off exemption fees, and placement support once you qualify.

Budget ₹2.2-2.8 lakhs for ACCA’s own fees if everything goes smoothly, and ₹3-4.5 lakhs all-in once coaching and materials are added — then look for exemptions, scholarships and ALP discounts to bring that down. The single best way to control cost either way is passing each paper on the first attempt.

What is the total cost of completing ACCA in Delhi?
Roughly ₹2.2-2.8 lakhs for ACCA’s own registration, subscription and exam fees, and ₹3-4.5 lakhs all-in once coaching and study materials are included — the exact figure depends heavily on exemptions and your choice of coaching provider.

Are ACCA fees different in Delhi compared to other cities or the UK?
No — ACCA charges the same GBP-denominated registration, subscription and exam fees worldwide. What differs by city is coaching and material costs, not ACCA’s own fees.

How much does an ACCA exemption cost?
Close to the exam fee itself — roughly ₹9,700-₹12,900 per paper — though Approved Learning Partners often discount this substantially for their enrolled students.

Is ACCA more expensive than CA?
Generally yes, mainly because ACCA fees are charged in GBP and include international exam infrastructure — but ACCA also offers more flexibility in exam timing and study mode, which many students weigh against the higher cost.

Do ACCA course fees include study materials and tuition?
No. ACCA’s own fees cover registration, subscription and exams only. Coaching, tuition and study materials are separate costs paid to whichever institute or self-study provider you choose.
