St Aloysius (Deemed To Be University) Mangalore B.Com Business Analytics: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. Yes, the B.Com (Business Analytics) programme is conducted in the morning shift from 7:00 AM to 12:30 PM. This is a deliberate design choice by the university to allow students to pursue professional certifications, part-time internships, or coaching for competitive exams in the afternoon. Students are still part of the main campus and can participate in all college activities, fests, and sports events. However, students should be prepared for early morning schedules throughout the three years of the programme.

Ans. B.Com (Business Analytics) focuses on integrating data analytics tools and techniques into the commerce curriculum, with one analytics-specific course per semester. Students learn tools relevant to business intelligence and data-driven decision-making. B.Com (Apprenticeship/Internship Embedded), on the other hand, is a lab-based programme where the sixth semester is a full-time industry internship. The fees for both are different: Business Analytics is Rs. 1,00,500 per year (Year I, Karnataka), while Apprenticeship Embedded is Rs. 88,000 per year (Year I, Karnataka). Students should choose based on whether they prefer an analytics specialisation or hands-on industry exposure.

Ans. Yes, the university guidelines specifically mention that students admitted to B.Com programmes (including Business Analytics) may need a personal laptop for coursework. Given the analytics-heavy curriculum involving tools like data analysis software, spreadsheets, and business intelligence platforms, having a personal laptop is practically essential. Students are advised to arrange for one before the batch commences in June.

Ans. Graduates of this programme are well-positioned for roles in data analytics, financial analysis, business intelligence, accounting, and management consulting. The commerce foundation combined with analytics skills opens doors to companies in IT, BFSI (Banking, Financial Services and Insurance), consulting, and e-commerce sectors. Past B.Com graduates from St Aloysius have been placed at companies like Moss Adams, Wipfli, Accenture, KPMG, Societe Generale, TCS, and Deloitte. The analytics specialisation further enhances employability in data-driven roles that are increasingly in demand across industries.

Ans. The SAU-ET is an online test of 50 MCQs conducted over one hour. It covers General Knowledge, Aptitude, English, and subject-oriented questions relevant to the chosen programme (for B.Com, this includes basic commerce and mathematics concepts). The test is not extremely difficult but requires basic preparation. Students are advised to brush up on current affairs, logical reasoning, English grammar, and fundamental commerce topics from their Class 11 and 12 syllabus. The test date and login details are communicated via WhatsApp/email after application submission, so ensure your contact details are accurate during registration.

Ans. Yes, students from outside Karnataka can apply. The fee structure for Non-Karnataka students is Rs. 1,15,500 per year (Year I, 2026-27), which is Rs. 15,000 higher than the Karnataka fee. Students from outside Karnataka who have passed their Class 12 from a board other than the Karnataka PU Board must obtain an Eligibility Certificate through the university website after securing admission. A Migration Certificate from the respective board is also required. The admission process (SAU-ET, interview, document submission) remains the same for all students. NRI students must additionally register on the Study in India (SII) portal and generate a unique SII ID.
