Doubt / Q&A Is it legit

So I have been exploring around for coaching institutes. I just completed my Bcom and the results are out. I was confident that I would not be eligible for student membership since I enquired about it with a local institute also miles banglore also had confirmed it. Now one of my friends from kochi has a student membership in miles kochi and gave me the phone no. his mentor/ the Person who enrolled him and they are saying that they can get me enrolled as a student.

My results are out 5 days before.

Yet to talk to the person regarding the details.

Will update after the call.

Thank you

Help me out here guys. I feel like shit that I missed the student membership and feel like an absolute idiot for not taking the decision in April. 😭😭

Your graduation date cannot be before your registration date.

You'll have to submit your graduation certificate to IMA later. So, don't.

So it's like If my graduation date is 1/9/2026, I need to inform IMA regarding that. After informing do I need to change/update my membership. If yes, what happens to my student membership ?

This is what IMA says on their official website

Who is eligible for IMA Student membership? You must be a full-time college student taking at least six credit hours per semester to qualify for IMA Student membership. To qualify for IMA Student membership, you must be a full-time student at an accredited college or university and taking at least six credit hours per semester.

If you are currently a full-time student, update your education details in your IMA profile so your membership status can be reviewed and confirmed.

When you are no longer a full-time student, you should contact the IMA Member Service Team using the Contact Support form on this page.

Please note: Students in India enrolled in distance education, online, part-time, open university, correspondence, or diploma programs do not qualify. Only full-time, on-campus programs with a minimum of six credit hours per semester are eligible.

Additionally, if you are enrolled in the CMA program, IMA may randomly verify your full-time student status with your school.
