PSGCAS is a public/government institute, founded in 1947. This page brings together what is on record for this course at PSGCAS — 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 turning raw data into decisions: statistics, Python and SQL, data cleaning, visualisation and machine learning. Typical first jobs: data analyst, data scientist, business analyst or analytics consultant. 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 PSGCAS for the current semester-wise plan.
