Commerce develops an understanding of accounting, finance, markets and business rules. B.Com and M.Com can support pathways into accounting, finance operations and further professional study. Professional qualifications such as CA have separate examinations and training requirements.
Choose a level that fits your starting point
Undergraduate courses build foundations after school. Postgraduate courses develop deeper subject knowledge after an eligible first degree. The right choice depends on your existing qualification, practical interests and time available for study.

Exams and selection routes
CUET and institution-specific selection. Admission requirements depend on the specific university and degree. Check the official programme bulletin rather than assuming every course uses the same entrance route.
