According to the UGC Guidelines, a person can pursue an MBA and an M.com simultaneously. Ensure the MBA and M.Com learning modes differ, such as whether one is regular and another is ODL/ online or ODL/ regular, and another is a regular program. This can help you learn two reliable courses at a time. You can also learn about it, by going through the down link of the UGC approval for the dual degree, view it; https://www.ugc.gov.in/pdfnews/5729348_Guidelines-for-pursuing-two-academic-programmes-simultaneously.pdf.

Many distance MBA programs offer placement assistance, including career counseling, resume workshops, and job fairs. However, the level of support can vary by institution, so it's best to check with the specific program for details.

Yes, as per the UGC's guidelines of dual degree, you can now pursue two same level (UG/PG) programs at the same time. If you want to take up both the programs, MBA and M.Com, in on-campus mode, you need to make sure that the class timings for one program do not overlap with the class timings of the other. Another way of doing it is you pursue a regular MBA with an online M.Com or an online MBA with a regular M.Com. 


For all the cases mentioned above, both of your degrees will be completely valid.

Yes, you can pursue an MBA and M.Com simultaneously, as long as one is in regular mode and the other is in online/distance mode. As per UGC guidelines, students are allowed to pursue two degrees at the same time, provided only one is in full-time regular mode. Alternatively, you can also pursue both degrees in online or distance mode without any issue.


However, it will pose a significant workload. It’s important to focus on quality learning and not just collecting degrees. Choose based on your career goals and learning style.

Yes, one can do both the MBA and the M.Com course simultaneously. Indeed, the person needs to follow the rules stipulated by the University Grants Commission (UGC). The regulations issued by UGC permit the students to acquire two degrees simultaneously, provided one of the two is in the usual ( full-time) style and another in online, distance or open style.


While choosing, you should take careful thought of what you want to do by having an MBA, that is, it holds greater value in what concerns a corporate career, whereas M.Com is more academic and can be more pertinent in careers related to research, teaching, or finance, and extroverted careers.
