Subject: Regarding B.com with CA.
Date: 13-Sep-2008
Question: I have recently join PCC course of C.A. I want to pursue my graduation along with it. Please guide me whether to pursue it through Punjab University or IGNOU scheme. And what are it's benefits?
Answer: The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) has signed a memorandun of understanding (MOU) with the Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) to conduct specialised courses for Chartered Accountancy students. A CA student joining graduation course under the university need to pass only in six papers out of the 21. This was to encourage CA students who wanted to pursue their graduation. An article trainee could join B.Com with IGNOU by paying Rs.4,000 and could appear for the B.Com examinations after completing one year of articleship. The student would get around 70 per cent credit in various subjects and would be required to appear for six subjects.
So it would be better to do from IGNOU.
