Ans. The Integrated B.Com and M.Com in Professional Accounting and Finance at Dempo College is a 5-year autonomous programme affiliated to Goa University. It combines the 3-year B.Com and the 2-year M.Com into a continuous programme, eliminating the need to apply separately for the M.Com after graduation. Students who complete all 10 semesters earn both degrees and receive ACCA exemption of up to nine papers. An exit option allows students to leave with a B.Com Hons degree after three years if they prefer not to continue.

Ans. The total programme fee for the 5-year Integrated B.Com and M.Com at Dempo College is INR 4,50,000, payable in semester instalments as notified by the college. This is a self-financed programme, unlike the standard aided 3-year B.Com. Hostel charges are separate and not included in the programme fee. Students should confirm the exact instalment schedule with the college admissions office at the time of joining.

Ans. Students who complete the full 5-year Integrated B.Com and M.Com at Dempo College are eligible for up to nine ACCA paper exemptions. ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, UK) is a global accounting qualification recognised in over 180 countries. The nine exemptions cover the Applied Knowledge and Applied Skills levels of the ACCA qualification. This significantly reduces the number of ACCA exams required for full certification, saving students considerable time and examination fees.

Ans. The Integrated B.Com and M.Com curriculum at Dempo College is mapped to five major professional accounting and finance certifications: CA (ICAI, India), CMA (ICMAI, India), CFA (CFA Institute, USA), CS (ICSI, India), and CIMA (Chartered Institute of Management Accountants, UK). Additionally, the ACCA (UK) collaboration provides up to nine paper exemptions for students who complete the full 5-year programme. Students can pursue these certifications concurrently during their studies, gaining dual academic and professional credentials.

Ans. Yes. The Integrated B.Com and M.Com programme at Dempo College includes a formal exit option after Year 3 (the first six semesters). Students who wish to exit at this stage are awarded a B.Com Hons degree from Goa University. This flexibility is built into the NEP 2020-aligned autonomous curriculum and gives students the choice to either complete the full 5-year integrated programme or exit early with a bachelor’s degree from a NAAC Grade A autonomous college.

Ans. Admission to the Integrated B.Com and M.Com at Dempo College is based on the D-ART (Dempo Admission Ranking Test), the college’s own computer-based aptitude test. Candidates appear for 50 MCQs covering aptitude and Commerce topics. The merit list is prepared based on D-ART score. Shortlisted candidates attend document verification and counselling at the college and then pay the semester instalment to confirm admission. No minimum percentage in Std XII is required, and the programme is open to students from any stream.
