Should you pick B.Com (Professional) at MAHE?
This course suits students who want an accounting, audit or tax career and plan to take the ACCA exams.
Pick it if:
You want an accounting or audit job: EY, Northern Trust and Oracle have hired from this school for roles like assurance associate and tax consultant.
You plan to take the ACCA exams: this course gets you 9 of the 13 ACCA papers off, so you write only the rest.
You want pay that is going up: the median pay of MAHE's three-year UG graduates rose from INR 3.5 LPA to INR 4.3 LPA in 2023-24.
You want a wide alumni network: the school's alumni network has over 5,000 people working around the world, so you can ask them about jobs.
Skip it if:
You are counting on a campus job: only 35% of MAHE's three-year UG graduates were placed in 2023-24, and many chose higher studies instead.
You pay the full fee from savings: the INR 7.86 Lakhs fee is close to two years of the INR 4.3 LPA median pay.
You need a single room in the first year: MAHE gives first-year students only shared rooms, and the mess is compulsory.
You plan to apply close to the last date: the Scholar scholarship goes by merit rank, and a tie goes to the student who applied first.
Counsellor's advice
If you plan to take ACCA and your family can pay the fee, take this seat. If a loan must be repaid from a campus job, keep a college with more placements above it.

In short
Christ costs INR 47,000 more, but its median pay and placement rate are higher. If a campus job matters most, weigh Christ; if the ACCA paper exemptions matter more, take the MAHE seat.
In short
Jain does not publish its fee, but it places more of its three-year UG graduates. If you like Jain, ask for its full fee in writing before you compare it with MAHE.
In short
NMIMS costs INR 54,000 more on last year's fee and has a higher median pay. If you clear its entrance test and want Mumbai, weigh it; if not, take the MAHE seat.
In short
Amrita costs INR 2.97 Lakhs less, but its median pay and placement rate are both lower. If the fee is your main limit, keep Amrita as a backup; if pay matters more, MAHE is ahead.
Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.
FAQs on MAHE B.Com (Professional)
Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.
Is B.Com (Professional) at MAHE worth the fee?▾
Yes, if you plan to take ACCA and can pay without a big loan. The fee without hostel is INR 7.86 Lakhs, and MAHE's three-year UG graduates had a median pay of INR 4.3 LPA in 2023-24. The fee is close to two years of that pay, so check the EMI line in the fee block before you decide.
What job will I get after this course?▾
Most jobs from this school are in accounting, audit, tax and finance support. EY, Northern Trust and Oracle have hired from here for roles like assurance associate and tax consultant. Plan your ACCA papers early, because firms like these look for them when they hire.
Will I get a campus job for sure?▾
No, a campus job is not sure. In 2023-24, 35% of MAHE's three-year UG graduates were placed and 246 chose higher studies. Use the placement cell from year 2, take internships, and finish ACCA papers so you have more to show.
Who should not take this course here?▾
Skip it if you need a campus job to repay a loan, or if you want a big city for office internships. Manipal is a university town in Udupi district, and the fee is INR 7.86 Lakhs without hostel. If either matters more than ACCA, look for a course that fits that goal.
Is this course good if I want to do ACCA?▾
Yes, that is the main reason to pick it. The course is accredited by ACCA and gets you 9 of the 13 ACCA papers off, so you write only the rest. Ask the school early how and when to register with ACCA, so you do not lose time after the degree.
Should I take the three-year degree or the Honours year?▾
Take the fourth Honours year only if you want a master's abroad or research later. You need a CGPA of 8 or more in the first four semesters to move into it. If you want to start work sooner, finish in three years and keep studying for ACCA.
Is it good for higher studies later?▾
Yes, many students go on to study more. In 2023-24, 246 of MAHE's three-year UG graduates chose higher studies. If you plan a master's, keep your CGPA above 8 and think about the Honours year, because it adds a year of study and research.
Should I take this course if my Class 12 marks are just above 50%?▾
Yes, you can apply, but prepare well for the interview. The 50% rule only lets you apply; the interview and your marks decide the merit list. Apply early in the cycle, and use the marks checker above to see what your marks mean.
How do I get admission to this course?▾
There is no entrance exam. You apply online, attend a personal interview, and MAHE sends a provisional offer if you make the merit list. Then you pay the first-year fee and the caution deposit by the offer date, or you lose the seat.
What is the full fee for the course?▾
The full 3-year fee is INR 7.86 Lakhs without hostel. With a shared room and mess it comes to INR 11.55 Lakhs. The fee block above shows both totals, and its toggle shows what the hostel adds each year.
Can I get a scholarship on this course?▾
Yes, if you have 80% in Class 12 and a top merit rank. The Scholar scholarship takes INR 96,600 off the tuition fee over the course. You can hold only one MAHE scholarship at a time, so use the calculator above to see which one fits you.
Do I get the hostel fee back if I leave?▾
Only part of it after classes start. If you leave before classes start, the full hostel fee comes back. After classes start, at least INR 20,000 is kept, so decide before you book a room.
The college offers a B.Com course with a structured curriculum and a feasible fee of 137,000 INR per year, deemed good value. The faculty is approachable, with most holding doctorates or CA qualifications and over 10 years of experience. Classes have about 60 students, ensuring personalized attention. The institution is notable for its Institute of Eminence award and extensive placement opportunities, with companies like EY Global, KPMG, and Deloitte recruiting.
About 90% of students secure jobs, with salaries ranging from INR 3-5 LPA. Internships, mostly non-stipend, are emphasized in the sixth semester for professional courses, offering valuable certificates. The college's placement cell actively supports students' recruitment in various fields. Scholarships are offered for high academic achievers and local language proficiency, with 15-20% reductions for students scoring over 85% in board exams. The total course fee for the 2023-26 batch is around INR 568,000, plus INR 50,000 for ISDC's ACCA courses.
B.Com (Hons) with ACCA fees range from INR 130,000 to 150,000, with hostel fees at INR 130,000. NRI students pay approximately $6,300 annually but may receive a 10% scholarship. The college also provides numerous UGC scholarships for lower-income students and hosts events with cash prizes.
