CA

Symbiosis College of Arts & Commerce builds its BCom curriculum to support students aiming for professional accounting careers. The regular subjects cover advanced accounting and corporate laws deeply. The college also offers special integrated tracks like ACCA and CMA. This smart option lets you prepare for global accounting certifications during your regular degree hours. 

Before you register, make sure you meet these basic requirements. Students who have passed Class 10 from a recognised board can enroll in the CA Foundation course. After passing Class 12, students become eligible to sit for the CA Foundation exam, provided they complete four months of mandatory study after ICAI registration. Commerce graduates or postgraduates with at least 55% marks can directly enter CA Intermediate without clearing the Foundation level. Non-commerce graduates need a minimum of 60% marks for direct entry into the Intermediate level.

CA is a professional qualification, not a traditional degree. It is regulated entirely by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, or ICAI, which is the only body authorized to conduct CA exams in India. While colleges can provide BCom plus CA integrated programs, the actual CA certificate is issued by ICAI and not by any college or university.

Several students from Ahmedabad have successfully cleared CA while completing their BCom degree.
