CA students to get exemption in subjects in B. Com course

Updated on: Wednesday, December 01, 2010

Coming to effect soon, students pursuing a course in chartered accountancy would be allowed to enrol for a B.com proramme of the university giving exemptions to certain subjects, according to Vice-Chancellor G. Thiruvasagam.

The Madras University will soon sign a memorandum of understanding with the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI).

Speaking at a function to honour students with the â€˜Commerce Merit Awards,' instituted by Shree Guru Kripa's Institute of Management here, he said the arrangement was to help students pursuing CA avoid repeating the same subjects in their B.Com programme, too.

â€œWe have held preliminary discussions with the ICAI. We will sign the agreement by the end of December,â€? Prof. Thiruvasagam said.

Emphasising the need for skill orientation in all disciplines, he said while the commerce stream gave a student access to a whole range of opportunities, it was also important for the student to be oriented to some practical components.

The university was considering to introduce a bachelor's programme in forensic accounting and a management programme with a specialisation in accounting next academic year, he added.
