SGT B.Com FAQs
Ques. What exactly is the ACCA integration in the B.Com (Hons.) International Accounting and Finance programme at SGT University?
Ans. The B.Com (Hons.) with International Accounting and Finance at SGT University is designed in alignment with the ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) qualification framework. Students pursuing this programme are eligible for exemptions from up to 9 ACCA papers (out of the total 13 required for full ACCA membership), based on their performance in the degree programme. This means students can complete a significant portion of the ACCA qualification while earning their B.Com degree, significantly reducing the time and cost required to become a fully qualified ACCA member. ACCA registration and exam fees are paid separately to ACCA.
Ques. How many ACCA papers can I get exempted from if I complete this B.Com programme at SGT University?
Ans. Students who complete the B.Com (Hons.) with International Accounting and Finance at SGT University can receive exemptions from up to 9 ACCA papers. These exemptions typically cover the Applied Knowledge and Applied Skills levels of the ACCA qualification. After completing the degree, students would need to clear the remaining Strategic Professional level papers (typically 4 papers) to achieve full ACCA membership. This makes the pathway to ACCA significantly faster compared to starting ACCA from scratch after a regular B.Com degree.
Ques. What are the career opportunities after B.Com (Hons.) International Accounting and Finance from SGT University?
Ans. Graduates can pursue roles such as Financial Analyst, Auditor, Tax Consultant, Corporate Finance Manager, Risk Analyst, Investment Banker, Management Consultant, and Equity Research Analyst. Top recruiters for this programme include Deloitte, EY, PwC, KPMG, ICICI Bank, HDFC, Citibank, IndusInd Bank, Infosys, Oracle, Perfios, and S&P Global Market Intelligence. The ACCA integration significantly enhances global employability, opening doors to roles in multinational corporations across banking, consulting, FMCG, technology, and manufacturing sectors.
Ques. Is this programme better than a regular B.Com (Hons.) for students who want to pursue CA (Chartered Accountancy)?
Ans. The B.Com (Hons.) with International Accounting and Finance is specifically designed for students targeting global accounting qualifications like ACCA, CPA, or CFA, rather than the Indian CA qualification. If your goal is to become a Chartered Accountant (CA) in India through ICAI, a regular B.Com or B.Com (Hons.) is equally valid as the CA Foundation, Intermediate, and Final exams are independent of the degree. However, if you want an internationally recognised accounting qualification with global career prospects, this programme with ACCA integration is a stronger choice.
Ques. What is the total fee for B.Com (Hons.) International Accounting and Finance at SGT University, and are there any additional costs for ACCA?
Ans. The total tuition fee for the 3-year programme is INR 5,25,000 (INR 1,75,000 per annum). In addition to the university tuition fee, students pursuing ACCA will need to pay ACCA's own registration and exam fees separately. ACCA registration fee is approximately GBP 30 (one-time), and each exam paper costs approximately GBP 100-150. Students should budget for these additional costs when planning their finances. Merit-based scholarships on tuition fees are available from the university for eligible students.
Ques. Can I pursue further studies like MBA or M.Com after completing B.Com (Hons.) International Accounting and Finance from SGT University?
Ans. Yes. After completing the B.Com (Hons.) with International Accounting and Finance, graduates are eligible to pursue postgraduate programmes such as MBA (Finance/International Business), M.Com, or specialised finance programmes like CFA, CPA, or complete the remaining ACCA papers for full membership. SGT University itself offers MBA programmes including MBA Finance/Fintech and MBA International Business, providing a seamless pathway for students who wish to continue their education at the same institution. The Honours with Research option (4th year) also prepares students for research-oriented postgraduate programmes.
