Side by side
| M.Com | MBA | |
|---|---|---|
| Duration | 2 years | 2 years |
| Who can apply | Graduates of any discipline | Graduates, or students in their final semester |
| Lowest total | ₹48,000 | ₹65,000 |
| Ways to pay | 1 | 3 |
| Examination fee | Inside each semester's payment | Not listed separately — ask |
| Focus | Accounting, finance and business research | Management across functions, with two specialisations |
Choose the M.Com if…
- You want accounts, finance or taxation work, or to teach commerce
- The UGC-NET in Commerce or a commerce PhD is part of the plan
- You want the lower total — ₹17,000 less than the MBA paid at once
Choose the MBA if…
- You are aiming at management roles across functions rather than commerce depth
- You want to pick two specialisations from finance, HR, marketing, operations and strategy
- You are still in your final semester — the MBA's eligibility admits you now; the M.Com's asks for a completed degree
Where each one leads
| M.Com | MBA | |
|---|---|---|
| Further study | The UGC-NET in Commerce, then a commerce PhD | A PhD in management, or executive programmes later |
| Typical direction | Accounts, finance, taxation and commerce teaching | Management roles in your two specialisations |
| Alongside | CA, CS or CMA, through their own institutes | Professional certifications in your specialisation area |
Neither closes the other off — an M.Com graduate can still take an MBA later — so choose for the work you want over the next few years rather than for ever.
The cost difference
The M.Com's single plan totals ₹48,000. The MBA is ₹65,000 paid at once or ₹67,000 in instalments — between ₹17,000 and ₹19,000 more than the M.Com.
Independent comparison. MBAIndia.org is not the university. Ask for a call back and you will speak with IICT or IIPM in Lucknow, which help students through admission to Subharti University's distance programmes. Figures follow the current fee card; confirm them for your session.
