Three Years for Your B.Com.
Use Them to Become a Finance Professional.

Earn your B.Com from a state university and clear your ACCA exams at Skilledgrad, in the same three years. Along the way we build the skills employers hire for, every year, not just before placements.

Approved by ACCA
Skilledgrad is an ACCA Gold Approved Learning Partner

ACCA approves learning partners at three levels: Silver, Gold and Platinum. Gold requires meeting 12 performance targets covering course management, delivery and student support, and demonstrating pass rates appropriate to that level. It means our materials, faculty and delivery are assessed against ACCA's own benchmarks rather than self-declared.

Why B.Com + ACCA

A Regular B.Com Takes Three Years. We Use Them Differently.

Much of a regular B.Com goes into theory that employers rarely ask about. Most graduates still need a professional qualification and practical skills before anyone hires them. When a student is with us for three years, we can do far more than prepare them for exams.

How It Works

One Programme, Two Places

B.Com From a State University
We recommend Alagappa University's distance B.Com. You enrol with the university directly, and the degree is awarded by the university.

B.Com + ACCA FAQs
Questions From Students and Parents
Planning what comes after Class 12? Our experts answer these questions every day. Have more? Just WhatsApp us.
Ask Us on WhatsApp
Who can join the B.Com + ACCA programme?
Students who have completed Class 12, or will complete it before the intake they join. For direct entry to ACCA you need at least 65% in English and in Maths or Accountancy, and at least 50% in your other subjects. If you fall short, talk to us: ACCA has a Foundations route.
Do I have to study at Alagappa University?
No. We recommend Alagappa University's distance B.Com, but you can enrol with another recognised State or Central Government university. Talk to us before you enrol, so we can check the ACCA exemptions and the university exam calendar.
How do the ACCA exemptions work?
Once you show proof of enrolling in a B.Com at a State or Central Government university, you are exempt from the Knowledge level and the Taxation exam, leaving 7 exams. ACCA checks these exemptions against your degree, so if a student leaves the B.Com midway, ACCA can withdraw them. For details see the official ACCA website or call us.
What fees will I pay, and to whom?
There are three separate fees. The university fee is paid to the university. ACCA's registration, exemption and exam fees are paid to ACCA and are listed on ACCA's fees page for India. Skilledgrad's fee covers ACCA training and the skills programme, and is charged per year. Talk to our expert for the amount.
Can I finish all my ACCA exams in three years?
The plan schedules all 7 exams within the three years. Your actual pace depends on your results, and we plan your sittings with you.
What happens if I fail an ACCA exam?
ACCA holds exams four times a year, in March, June, September and December, so you can resit soon. Our team calls you, goes through what went wrong in detail, and plans the next attempt with you.
ACCA is changing in 2027. Does that affect this programme?
The programme is built for the redesigned 2027 qualification from the start.
What are the class timings?
Classes run 5 days a week at our Purasaiwakkam centre. Exact timings will be announced before the batch starts.
Do you guarantee placement?
No. We offer placement assistance for roles relevant to your qualification: interview preparation, CV reviews and help applying. We do not promise a job or a salary.
