DU SOL Online MCom

About

If you’re someone leaning toward finance, accounting, or the broader world of commerce, but can’t commit to a full-time campus routine, the DU SOL Online MCom Program is a pretty logical option.

It’s run by the School of Open Learning at Delhi University, which has long been a fallback for students who want the weight of a DU degree without having to uproot their lives. On a résumé, a DU master’s in commerce still speaks for itself, especially in India.

To set expectations this isn’t crafted to mimic a full-fledged on-campus program with daily classes and endless group projects. Instead, it’s built for flexibility.

It’s cheaper than private university options and is structured so working professionals can manage both job and study.

For fresh graduates, it’s a practical route to sharpen subject depth before heading into corporate roles, exams, or even research.

Approvals

One of the first doubts people raise is whether the degree will “count.” Here, the answer is reassuring: yes.

• The DU SOL Online MCom is recognized by UGC-DEB for online and distance learning.
• Delhi University itself is NAAC A+ accredited.
• The program is valid for jobs, promotions, higher education, and even competitive exams, because it’s recognized by the Ministry of Education.

So, if your concern is about credibility, this checks all the boxes.

Eligibility

The requirements are fairly straightforward:

• A Bachelor’s degree in Commerce or an allied discipline (like BBA, Economics, or similar) from a recognized university.

• Minimum 50% marks in graduation (reserved categories usually get relaxations).

• No age bar, which makes it accessible to both fresh graduates and working professionals.

• Admissions are merit-based, not entrance-heavy.

Specializations with Course Fees

The Online MCom at DU SOL doesn’t roll out niche “specializations” like many private universities advertise (e.g., International Accounting or FinTech).

Instead, it keeps to the core commerce strengths accounting, finance, economics, management. That said, the electives do give you some room to shape your focus.

Compared to private online MComs that can stretch up to ₹1–2 lakhs, DU SOL’s affordability is one of its strongest pull factors.

Admission Process

The steps are refreshingly simple:

1. Visit the official DU SOL website.

2. Register with your basic details.

3. Fill in your academic qualifications.

4. Upload required documents (mark sheets, ID proof, photo, category certificate if applicable).

5. Pay the application fee (₹500 for General/OBC; ₹250 for SC/ST/PWD).

6. Wait for the merit list.

7. Confirm admission by paying the program fees.

No entrance exams, no group discussions, no interviews—it’s straightforward and online.

Syllabus and Curriculum

The DU SOL Online MCom syllabus is structured across two years (four semesters).
The focus is on giving students advanced knowledge in accounting, finance, economics, and business law, while also adding applied management elements.

The progression is deliberate you start with advanced versions of your BCom basics and gradually move into strategic and applied areas.

Placements

Here’s where things need a reality check. The DU SOL Online MCom doesn’t have the same campus recruitment drive you’d expect from DU’s regular colleges. Placement support is limited. However, that doesn’t mean the degree isn’t valuable.

In practice, the program helps two groups the most:

• Fresh graduates who want a recognized postgraduate degree before jumping into jobs or competitive exams (like UGC-NET, UPSC, or CA/CMA).
• Professionals already working in accounting, taxation, or finance, who need the MCom tag for promotions or career mobility.
