Dear Student,

The Master of Commerce (M.Com) course offers online classes if the study medium is online. There are no online classes conducted for individuals who have taken admission in regular/ full-time medium. M.Com is offered by both government and private universities in regular mode, distance education and nowadays even as an online course. As it is a theoretical course, the credibility of all the mediums offered for the course is valid across the world. These classes are offered only in online mediums to students and are mostly taken by candidates who are working professionals who want to upgrade their knowledge simultaneously while working. The duration of M.Com course online varies from one and a half to two years. However, candidates can complete it at their own pace.
