Siddhartha B.Com Hons FAQs
Ques. What is the difference between B.Com Hons General and B.Com Hons Computer Application at Siddhartha Degree College?
Ans. B.Com Hons General covers core commerce subjects — accountancy, taxation, business law, finance, and management — under the college’s autonomous syllabus. B.Com Hons Computer Application integrates additional subjects in computer fundamentals, programming, database management, and e-commerce alongside the core commerce papers. The Computer Application track suits students targeting IT-adjacent commerce roles or those who want a tech-integrated business education, while General suits those focused on CA, CMA, postgraduate commerce, or traditional business careers.
Ques. Why is the fee for B.Com Hons Computer Application nearly four times the General track at Siddhartha?
Ans. The higher fee for B.Com Hons Computer Application (₹38,687 vs ₹9,638 for General) reflects the additional cost of computer lab infrastructure, software licensing, and IT practical sessions built into the programme. B.Com Hons General uses standard commerce classrooms without specialised lab requirements. Both fees cover the complete three year duration and are payable in annual instalments at ₹12,896 and ₹3,213 per year respectively.
Ques. Can students from a Science or Arts background without Commerce in Class 12 apply for B.Com Hons at Siddhartha?
Ans. Eligibility states 10+2 with Commerce or Mathematics as a preferred subject. Students who studied Mathematics in the Science or Arts stream may be eligible, subject to meeting the 40 percent aggregate threshold and the college’s admission criteria. Students who studied neither Commerce nor Mathematics should confirm directly with the college before registering on AP OAMDC, as the final eligibility decision rests with the admitting institution.
Ques. Can B.Com Hons graduates from Siddhartha directly register for CA Intermediate or CMA Intermediate?
Ans. Yes. Graduates from a recognised university with 55 percent or above in B.Com can directly register for CA Intermediate under the ICAI’s direct entry scheme, bypassing CA Foundation. B.Com graduates can also register for CMA Intermediate directly, skipping the CMA Foundation level. The B.Com Hons degree from Siddhartha College, being awarded under Krishna University’s affiliation, qualifies as a recognised degree for both these pathways.
Ques. Does autonomous status at Siddhartha College affect the recognition of the B.Com Hons degree?
Ans. No. The degree is still awarded by Krishna University, Machilipatnam and carries the same legal recognition as any Krishna University degree. Autonomous status means the college designs its own syllabus, sets its own internal question papers, and declares results under the university’s name — it does not create a separate independent university. The NAAC Grade A accreditation signals quality assessment by the national accreditation body and is positively regarded by employers and postgraduate institutions.
Ques. Are seats limited for B.Com Hons Computer Application at Siddhartha, and how do I maximise my chances of getting it through AP OAMDC?
Ans. Seat intake figures for each specialisation are not published in the course-level data available. To maximise your chances through AP OAMDC, register early in the application window, ensure your Class 12 aggregate is accurately reported, and prioritise Siddhartha College and the Computer Application specialisation as your first or early preference during web option entry. Candidates with higher Class 12 aggregates have stronger merit-list positions since there is no entrance test.
