Introduction to Bangalore University

Bangalore University is located in the Garden City of Bangalore aptly hailed as the “I.T. Capital of India”, was established in July 1964 as an offshoot of the University of Mysore, primarily to include institutions of higher learning located in the metropolitan city of Bangalore and the districts of Bangalore, Kolar, and Tumkur, which eventually became a separate university. Initially, the two premier colleges of the city, the Central College (CC) and the University Visvesvaraya College of Engineering (UVCE) formed the nucleus of Bangalore University.

Bangalore University has achieved milestones by establishing MOUs with Universities and Institutions of national and international repute. To cater to a student population of over three lakhs, the University is striving to provide access, expansion, and excellence in higher education. The vision of the University is to make distinctive and significant contributions to the cause of higher education in Humanities, Social Science, Law, Commerce, Science & Technology.

One of the distinctive contributions made by Bangalore University is by signing a Memorandum of Understanding between Bangalore University and Association of Chartered Certified Accountants – UK (ACCA) wherein all the students pursuing Bachelor of Commerce under the University can pursue ACCA course on an integrated manner.

Introduction to Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA)

ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) was founded in 1904 with the aim to develop capacity in the profession and encourage the adoption of global standards. ACCA’s values are aligned to the needs of employers in all sectors and we ensure that, through our qualifications, we prepare accountants for business.

ACCA works to strengthen a global profession based on the application of consistent standards, which we believe best supports international business and the desire of talented people to have successful, international careers.

To achieve this ACCA works with global bodies such as the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) and with more than 80 global accountancy partnerships.

ACCA works through a network of 93 offices and centers and more than 8,500 Approved Employers worldwide, who provide high standards of employee learning and development.

MOU between Bangalore University and ACCA

The MOU signed between ACCA and Bangalore University is an approach towards introducing an internationally recognized professional qualification into the formal academic education system of B.Com students of Bangalore University.

As per the MOU the students taking up Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com) under any of the colleges affiliated to any three of the Bangalore University colleges shall be granted a 6 paper exemption out of a total of 13 papers exam for the ACCA course. In other words, a student pursuing B.Com under Bangalore University needs to write only 7 exams to get an internationally acclaimed professional degree of ACCA while pursuing B.Com.

About the Author: The best part about this program is that the registration of the student is valid for a period of 10 years. However, the ACCA program requires a yearly annual subscription to be paid, which shall be waived only for the first year to the student post which the student will have to pay the annual subscription fees of GBP 112 per year.

Approach to be taken by Students to crack both B com and ACCA

The papers which are exempt are AB, FA, MA, LW, PM, and TX and the balance other 7 paper exams must be written. The students should start their studies towards ACCA in the first year of their B.Com itself and prepare target to finish a minimum of 3 exams by end of 5th Semester of B.Com to attain the Advanced Diploma Certificate by completing the fundamental module.

The final professional module of ACCA students should target to do it along with B. Com or maximum within one year from the completion of B.Com.

ACCA with B.com Fee:

There is a considerable about of financial savings for a student doing ACCA along with B com under the Bangalore University MOU, as the student will save the exam fees of almost 6 exams wherein the amount is almost Rs. 60,000 to Rs. 65,000 in total. In addition, one year of annual subscription waiver also shall be made available which is another Rs. 11,000. So overall a student shall get a fee waiver of a considerable Rs. 75,000 at a minimum by taking up ACCA under the Bangalore University MOU instead of doing it directly.

Registration for ACCA under this MOU along with its coaching can be done only by select approved partners of ACCA and CFO NeXt is one such approved partner.
