Commerce and professional accountancy

B.Com alongside or instead of CA, CS and CMA, which are examined by their institutes rather than bought as a college seat.

Where it leads

• Chartered Accountancy
• Company Secretary
• Cost accountancy
• Banking and finance
• Business analytics

Can you change your mind later?

Very flexible. A professional qualification can be pursued alongside a degree, and abandoning one does not waste the other.

The mistake families make here

Paying heavily for a private college when the qualification that determines the career is examined by ICAI, ICSI or ICMAI and costs comparatively little.

Where students are usually competitive

Open at a wide range of marks; the professional exams are the filter, not the admission. Among the cheapest routes to a high-earning professional qualification in India.
