M.com OR Master of Commerce is a Master's degree conferred to students. Like any other college course, M.com's course duration is a minimum of 2 years and maximum of 5 years.
With the academic session of July 2019, the IGNOU has adopted the Choice Based Credit System presented by the University Grants Commission. The Choice-based Credit System, which is on offer at the Master's degree level, gives adaptability to the students to study the subjects/courses of their needs and interests.
IGNOU Oman's international division follows the same guidelines as Indira Gandhi National Open University. Oman FRSIs (through Regional Centres in India) and Overseas can now adopt the IGNOU M.com courses depending upon their needs and Students' requirements.
Masters of Commerce or M.Com. is a post-graduate level course ideal for those candidates who wish to make a career in banking financial services and insurance (BFSI) as well as accounting and commerce sectors. The 2-year course delves deeper into the functioning of the economy, capital, revenue, trade, taxes, etc. taught in B.Com.
Since M.Com. is a specialized area in itself, only those candidates who have pursued BCom or BCom (H), can go for it. M.Com. is also a good option for CA/CS candidates. However, not many CA/CS aspirants pursue M.Com. as CA/CS courses can be pursued after class 12.
M.Com. is most popular among aspiring teachers/lecturers and researchers. UGC-NET/JRF and Ph.D. are among the popular career options ahead for M.Com. degree holders.
