One of the most popular and aspirational courses after B.Com for commerce students is CA. CA exams are conducted by Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) and you have to clear three rounds, CPT, IPCC and Final CA.

After completing IPCC and articleship you appear for Final CA. After clearing the two rounds of Final CA you can call yourself a CA.

Although you all know after becoming CA there is no dearth of opportunity but the following are few best options for you.

1. CA/CS (Company Secretary)

A certified Chartered accountant can kickstart his career immediately in financial institutions like banks, MNCs, government departments etc at a very top position.

A CA does not have to wait for finding the right kind of job.

On an average, a certified CA can earn anything between Rs 6 lacs to Rs 30 lacs per annum depending upon his/her experience.

The big 4 firms that hire CA are KPMG, PWC, EY and Deloitte.

2. Administrative Jobs in Public Sector

PSU companies like BPCL, GAIL, ONGC, BSNL etc hire freshers as CA from the college campuses directly.

The annual salary that they offer is between Rs 7 lacs to Rs 16 lacs per annum. However, the growth opportunity is very limited.

CA with more experience can join as a financial advisor, Legal Advisor, Technical Consultant with central and state government.

3. Economist

Once you’ve gained experience working as a CA/CS for different firms you can become an Economist. Government, many financial institutions and rating companies around the world need Economist to forecast and analyze economic issues.

Course Name: M.Com

To be honest not every commerce graduate is not going to be a CA. Most of them don’t even give a try and others quit after attempting 2 to 3 times.

So most of the B.Com graduates will look out for jobs they can get once they have completed M.Com.

M.Com is one of the most common and obvious courses after B.Com.

5. Accountant – Senior & Junior

One of the most common career after M.Com is an becoming an Accountant. You can join an accountancy firm as

  • Assess compliance with financial regulations and controls
  • Assess risks and internal control

In India, all the major banks like HDFC, ICICI, Axis, Kotak and IT companies like Wipro, IBM, TCS hire internal auditors for auditing.

7. Loan/Credit Officer

If you are looking for less hectic career after graduation in commerce then Loan officer is the way to go. Loan officer’s job is evaluating loan applications and documentation by confirming their credit worthiness.

Loan officers are responsible for assessing the client’s financial status so they can accept or reject their loan application. If a loan is accepted then they issue cheques to the customers.

The average salary of a loan officer can be Rs 15,000 to Rs 20,000 per month.

8. Sales Officer

Sales officer job sounds very easy as your main responsibility is to get more and more customers to open a bank account (current and savings) with the bank you are working for.

However, the pressure is great because you have to generate leads and find prospects on your own. There is no one else to help you. You are given a target for each day and you have to achieve those targets.

In this job, you can be laid off anytime if you don’t meet the target. To survive here you need good People’s skill and contacts with people in your area.

A sales officer salary working for a bank like HDFC or ICICI could be between Rs 200,000/- to Rs 400,000/- yearly.

After been hired you can join PSU banks like SBI, PNB, Bank of Baroda, BOI etc. The salary of a SBI Bank PO is around Rs 40,000 per month including all allowances.

You can also apply for lower jobs likes clerks, Accounts Assistant, Divisional officers etc.

There are other government departments like Revenue, Railway, Defense, and Forest that have openings for M.Com graduates.

Course Name: Digital Marketing

Times have changed and young B.Com graduates are ready to explore more unconventional best career options like Digital Marketing.

10. Digital Marketer

Now a day commerce graduates are looking for certain offbeat courses after B.Com that are not CA, M.Com or MBA.

They would like to pursue their career in a different field altogether. Right now the most lucrative and trending career is digital marketing.

  29. I am Mohan
    from chittoor andhrapradesh iam studying b com computers final year i want a job in any it company with best offers please help any body i got distinction in all my education career and i have some technical skills like i know computer typing computer software and hardware installation and with tally9.0,and also i successfully completed my pgdca computer course ,and i know computer launguages like c,c+,java.

  30. I completed b.com 2014 now I’m doing ICMAI but I can’t pass my inter exams pls guide me how to do my exams successful.

    1. Hie Sowmiya, I am not going to tell you the tricks to pass paper but here is something more important. I am a student of Cs final and from my deep experience I would like to tell you this is the right time to choose between two options before it’s too late as times run very fast and you’ll not realise it passing, this is the time for “paper analysation and follow up”. As i said You have two options:
      Write up on a paper or draw a flow chart
      Option1. You have to and have to do cma, in this case set your dead line that on this date I have to start my job as a cma only. Plan accordingly leave all time wasting things. Improve your routine and just focus on career coz when ull b earning from your desired post you’ll be most happy ever.
      Option2: take a different way out. If you think it is possible that the course would take longer time (as these courses usually take) .Don’t let your self chase before it and loosing right time to enter in job. Take coaching learn the things and study for your upcoming final xams and just after giving your exam start a job in kpo or other area if you know. You’ll gradually start feeling that you can do much more than u have ever thought, and you’ll easily manage your studies. As we give our best when we have less time.

      And remember give your 100% each time and for everything.

    1. Man!! you must find the inner peace you have completed your CA as well CS and still want to change your life.. I`d suggest go to the himalayas for sometime in some peace .. it will surely change your life
