Undergraduate commerce degree
A commerce degree covering accounting, finance, taxation, economics and business law. It is usually three years; under the NEP framework some universities offer a four-year Honours version. Many students prepare for CA, CS or CMA alongside it, and an M.Com or MBA is a common next step.
