New Delhi: Simandhar Education, a leading provider of global finance certification training, has signed a strategic MoU with Presidency University, Bengaluru, to integrate US CPA, US CMA and Enrolled Agent (EA) programmes into its B.Com and MBA curricula.

The partnership aims to equip students with globally recognised credentials alongside their degrees, enabling them to become “day-one-ready” professionals for Big Four firms and multinational corporations. The certifications will be offered as structured, credit-based elective tracks supported by expert faculty, Becker study materials and personalised mentoring, Simandhar Education said on Thursday.

Simandhar Co-founder and CEO Sripal Jain said the collaboration would prepare students for high-value global finance careers. “Integrating US CPA, CMA and EA certifications into core programmes provides students a direct pathway to top-tier placements,” he said.

Presidency University's School of Management Dean, Dr. Subhashree Natarajan, said the initiative would enhance students' global relevance and industry readiness.

The tie-up builds on Simandhar's earlier collaborations with institutions such as St. Joseph's College of Commerce, Bengaluru, and Osmania University, Hyderabad. It also aligns with its broader effort to expand access to international finance certifications across Tier 2 and 3 cities.

Simandhar said the initiative strengthens its role in bridging Indian academia with global finance careers and supporting students with industry-aligned training and placement pathways.
