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

Ans. Students enrolled in the B.Com (International Finance) - ACCA Embedded programme at St Aloysius University receive exemptions for 6 out of the 13 ACCA papers (specifically from the Applied Knowledge and Applied Skills levels). These exemptions are granted by ACCA/ISDC based on the integrated curriculum taught during the B.Com course. After completing the degree, students need to clear the remaining 7 papers (from the Strategic Professional level) to earn the full ACCA qualification. This means students effectively complete a significant portion of the ACCA qualification while pursuing their undergraduate degree, saving both time and money compared to pursuing ACCA independently after graduation.

Ans. Yes, the B.Com (International Finance) batch runs from 7:00 AM to 1:00 PM (morning shift). This is a deliberate design - the morning schedule frees up afternoons for students to attend ACCA coaching classes, self-study, or pursue internships. ACCA module classes are conducted by industry professionals and experts as part of the MoU with ACCA/ISDC. Students should be prepared for early mornings, but many find the afternoon free time valuable for exam preparation and extracurricular activities.

Ans. The SAU-ET (St Aloysius University Entrance Test) is a 1-hour online test consisting of 50 Multiple Choice Questions covering General Knowledge, Aptitude, English, and subject-oriented questions relevant to the chosen programme. It is not an extremely difficult exam - the primary purpose is to assess basic aptitude and communication skills. Admission is based on a combination of SAU-ET performance, the subsequent interview with the admission committee, and previous academic record (Class 11 and Class 12 mid-term marks). Preparing with basic GK, logical reasoning, and English comprehension practice is generally sufficient.

Ans. Graduates of this programme are well-positioned for careers in international accounting firms, banks, financial services companies, and multinational corporations. With the ACCA exemptions, many students go on to complete the full ACCA qualification and work with Big 4 firms (Deloitte, EY, KPMG, PwC) or in roles such as financial analyst, management accountant, auditor, or tax consultant. The highest package reported for commerce graduates from St Aloysius is around Rs. 15 lakhs per annum, with top recruiters including Deloitte, EY, and KPMG. Students who complete the full ACCA qualification typically command significantly higher salaries in global markets.

Ans. Yes, there is no stream restriction for B.Com admission at St Aloysius University. Students from Science, Arts, or Commerce backgrounds who have passed their II PUC or equivalent examination are eligible to apply. However, since the programme involves accounting, finance, and taxation subjects from the first semester, students without a commerce background may need to put in extra effort initially. The university does offer basic accountancy special classes for students who have not studied accountancy at the PUC level (at an additional fee of Rs. 4,000).

Ans. Hostel accommodation at St Aloysius University is available but not guaranteed - seats are limited and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. The university has separate hostels for boys and girls on the main campus. The hostel fee is Rs. 75,000 per year, which covers food (veg and non-veg mess), accommodation, water, electricity, room rent, and maintenance. Facilities include well-furnished rooms, purified drinking water, generator backup, study hall, library, recreation and games, prayer hall, solar hot water, and CCTV surveillance. Notably, 50% of hostel seats are reserved for students from socially and economically weaker sections. Students are advised to apply for hostel accommodation early after securing admission.
