Amity University B.Com (Accounting and Finance) FAQs
Ques. What is the difference between B.Com (Hons.) and B.Com (Hons.) Accounting and Finance at Amity University Mumbai?
Ans. The general B.Com (Hons.) is a broad commerce programme covering a wide range of subjects including accounting, management, economics, and law. The B.Com (Hons.) Accounting and Finance is a specialised variant with a deeper and more focused curriculum in financial accounting, corporate accounting, direct taxes, financial planning and investment, and financial management. If you are specifically targeting a career in accounting, finance, or taxation, the specialised programme is a better fit.
Ques. Can I pursue CA (Chartered Accountancy) alongside B.Com (Accounting and Finance) at Amity University Mumbai?
Ans. Yes, many students pursue CA Foundation and Intermediate alongside their B.Com degree. The B.Com (Accounting and Finance) curriculum at Amity University Mumbai is well-aligned with CA subjects, covering financial accounting, cost accounting, corporate accounting, taxation, and business law. The university's schedule and academic structure generally allow students to manage both, though it requires strong time management. The 4-year degree also provides ample time to clear CA Intermediate before graduation.
Ques. Is the B.Com (Accounting and Finance) degree from Amity University Mumbai recognised for jobs in the finance sector?

Ques. What is the NEP 2020 multiple exit option and how does it apply to this programme?

If you complete all 4 years, you receive the B.Com (Honours) or B.Com (Honours with Research) degree. The 4-year Honours degree qualifies you for a 1-year Master's programme and direct PhD admission, and is also recognised by foreign universities for postgraduate admissions.
Ques. Does the B.Com (Accounting and Finance) programme include internship or industry exposure?

Students are encouraged to undertake internships during semester breaks. The Amity Business School's Corporate Relations Office facilitates internship and placement opportunities with industry partners.
