Based on the information provided, it appears you have worked as an Assistant Professor of Accounts and Business Studies from December 1, 2016, to April 30, 2019. This experience is for a total of 29 months.
Regarding whether this experience can be counted towards the practical training requirement for ICMAI (Institute of Cost Accountants of India), typically, the practical training or experience required by ICMAI needs to be directly related to the areas specified by them, which are primarily in the fields of cost and management accounting.
Here’s how you can evaluate if your experience qualifies:
1. **Relevance to ICMAI Curriculum**: ICMAI requires practical experience that aligns closely with the curriculum and objectives of the course. Your experience as an Assistant Professor in Accounts and Business Studies may be considered relevant if you were involved in teaching subjects that are part of the ICMAI syllabus, such as Cost Accounting, Financial Management, Management Accounting, etc.
2. **Duration Requirement**: ICMAI typically requires a specific duration of practical training or experience, often spanning a minimum of 3 years (36 months) after registration for the final course. Since your experience as an Assistant Professor is for 29 months, it may fall short of the required duration unless you have additional relevant experience to complement it.
3. **Documentation and Certification**: You would need to provide documentation, such as your experience certificate from the college, detailing your role, responsibilities, and the subjects you taught. This will help ICMAI assess whether your experience meets their criteria for practical training.
4. **ICMAI’s Approval**: Ultimately, the decision on whether your experience can be counted towards the practical training requirement lies with ICMAI. They may evaluate your application based on the relevance and duration of your experience in relation to their prescribed guidelines.
To proceed:
- Gather all relevant documentation, including your experience certificate and any other supporting documents. - Contact ICMAI directly through their official channels (website, email, or phone) to inquire about the process for evaluating and potentially approving your experience as practical training. - Follow any specific instructions or guidelines provided by ICMAI for submitting your application or request for exemption.
By providing clear and detailed information about your role and responsibilities as an Assistant Professor and how it relates to cost and management accounting, you can present a strong case for consideration of your experience towards fulfilling ICMAI’s practical training requirement.
