| Best suited for | Working professionals and serious CAMS aspirants seeking guidance. | Highly self-motivated and already experienced AML professionals. | Students seeking a broad undergraduate or postgraduate foundation. |
| Exam structure | Coaching fully mapped to CAMS domains, question style and timing. | Dependent on individual choice of books and question banks. | University-style term exams not aligned to CAMS pattern. |
