B.Com with ACCA at MGM College, Udupi
Build on MGM's long academic tradition with a globally recognised ACCA pathway, progressing through professional-level papers while completing your B.Com.
A Legacy of Academic Excellence
Mahatma Gandhi Memorial College (MGM College), Udupi, has partnered with LeAF Academy to offer B.Com students the opportunity to pursue ACCA alongside their regular degree.
MGM was founded in 1949 by Dr. T.M.A. Pai and is presented in the source brief as a foundational institution in Udupi's higher-education story, with more than seven decades of academic tradition.
Founded in 1949
A long-standing institution with a strong regional academic legacy.
Academic tradition
MGM has built a reputation across Arts, Science and Commerce over more than seven decades.
Global extension
ACCA extends that academic foundation into an internationally recognised professional qualification.
Why ACCA Alongside B.Com Makes Sense

Double reinforcement
Financial reporting, audit and management-accounting concepts are encountered through two complementary curricula.
Advanced-paper head start
Early ACCA exposure supports demanding final-year B.Com topics.
Global relevance
IFRS-oriented learning is directly relevant to Big 4 firms, MNCs and GCCs.
