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

Ans. The B.Com (Investment Management) programme integrates one investment-specific course in every semester alongside the regular B.Com curriculum. This means students study all the core commerce subjects (Accounting, Taxation, Business Law, Marketing, HR, etc.) that are part of the regular B.Com, but additionally gain specialised knowledge in investment analysis, portfolio management, securities markets, wealth management, and financial planning. The regular B.Com does not have this investment specialisation. Both programmes are offered in the regular day batch (9:00 AM to 4:00 PM) and have the same duration of 3 years.

Ans. Graduates can pursue careers as investment analysts, wealth managers, stock brokers, mutual fund distributors, financial planners, relationship managers at banks and NBFCs, and equity research associates. Many students also go on to pursue professional certifications like NISM (National Institute of Securities Markets), CFP (Certified Financial Planner), CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst), or postgraduate programmes like MBA (Finance) or M.Com. The programme's focus on practical investment knowledge makes graduates well-suited for roles in the BFSI (Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance) sector.

Yes, all applicants must appear for the SAU-ET (St Aloysius University Entrance Test), which is an online test of 50 MCQs covering General Knowledge, Aptitude, English, and subject-oriented questions.
