Accounting & Commerce

Students with B.Com degree have options of doing higher post graduate studies such as M.Com, MBA, MCA or PG Diplomas or LLB, MA Mass Communication. MSW etc. You had also do one year long PG diploma in area of your interests such as Banking, Insurance, capital market, HR, sales etc. You can also do industry specific certifications such as LOMA, IIBA. BCS etc. You can professional courses such as CA, CS, CFA, CMA etc.
CA is very prestigious but difficult to obtain professional degree. M.Com focuses on commerce, accounting, management and economics related subjects and prepares you for Finance and Accounting jobs in enterprises. MBA is a generic course on business management and administration and it focuses on functional areas of business such as accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, and operations. MBA provides wider options in different functions and various types of industries. Although you must do post graduate degree based on your interest area, I will recommend MBA with Finance specialization for better career opportunities and growth.

Hi.
Yes you can pursue company secretaryship.
It has become very lucrative and remunerative and with the implementation of companies act, 2013 the scope has widened for a company secretary as a professional.
A company secretary can be in practice, or in employment be appointed as a key managerial person. Company secretary are also called as compliance managers as they are the ones with an overall and all round knowledge of various laws applicable on the industries.
So it is noteworthy that along with the enhancement in scope, work and remuneration wise, responsibility and accountability is also increased.
The salary package, though depends on your skills, knowledge and practical exposure, but on an average a fresher company secretary can get anything from a range of 25k to 40k a month.
The increment from that depends on your skills and the organisation where you are.
All the best!!
