HNBGU is a other institute, founded in 1973. This page brings together what is on record for this course at HNBGU — fees, seats, eligibility, the admission route and placements — so you can judge it before you apply.

Most B.Com programmes follow a similar pattern: the first year builds the foundations, the middle years go deep into the subject, and the final year is given over to electives, a major project and usually an internship.

Here that means corporate finance, financial markets, accounting and investment analysis. Typical first jobs: financial analyst, banking or investment roles. Many graduates also go on to a master's degree.

The exact syllabus is set by the college or its affiliating university and changes from year to year, so ask HNBGU for the current semester-wise plan.

The fee figures on record for this course are below. Fees are for the whole course unless marked otherwise.
