PUC Commerce

The road into business, accounts, finance and the professions built around them. Its distinguishing feature is that several of its best destinations — Chartered Accountancy, Company Secretaryship, Cost and Management Accountancy — are professional qualifications you register for directly with the institute rather than college seats you compete for. A student who is willing to study steadily for several years can reach a respected profession from here without ever needing an entrance rank.
