Why Settle for Just B.Com When You Can Add ACCA, CA, or CMA for a Stronger Career?

In today’s highly competitive job market, a basic undergraduate degree is often not enough to stand out. While a Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com) provides a strong foundation in accounting, finance, taxation, and business principles, students who combine it with professional certifications such as ACCA, CA, or CMA gain a significant career advantage.

Employers today seek professionals who possess practical expertise, global exposure, and industry-ready skills. Finance and accounting roles now demand proficiency in international accounting standards, strategic financial management, cost control, risk analysis, and corporate governance beyond a traditional degree.

IIBS Bengaluru, an autonomous college affiliated with Bengaluru City University, offers a 3-year full-time B.Com degree program designed to meet current industry and professional standards. The program is uniquely structured to integrate professional certifications, enabling students to graduate with academic depth, professional readiness, and global exposure.
