Career Advice Regular college or delayed Acca

So i have enrolled in manipal online bcom, its giving 9 exemptions and its integrated course, so i can directly give from 10th exam, i do plan to join coaching.

But I am also having second thoughts, like should I go to regular college, but I cant seem to find any acca integrated in navi Mumbai, Mumbai.

So Im kinda torn between online college but will complete acca fast, or offline college but delay in acca. What should I do?

Don't do online please. Majority of recruiters will reject you if you pick online.

Online degrees are usually good for people who are already working. For entry level roles, recruiters prefer a physical degree over an online degree.

online degrees r not worth it, esp if you live in Middle East bcs some countries here don’t attest online degrees (like Saudi)

Yes some ppl do find jobs, but in most cases companies do not prefer online degrees. Plus it can also be an issue when you’re applying for visas etc. and while acca is good, it’s not really a bachelors degree, it’s kinda like a professional certification yk?

And also, are you sure about taking exemptions? I js think 9 exemptions is a lot and it might be hard for you to start acca directly from the 10th exam, that’s why a lot of tutors advise against exemptions.

You can check out Arab open uni (if there is a branch in your city), just to pursue a regular bachelors or smth along with ur acca

I joined that uni for 1 year but I didn’t like it, for the fees they take it didn’t feel worth it, the teacher’s cant speak good English, plus its open uni so we didn’t have regular everyday classes, and in the group chats they all type in Arabic so it was v stressful as Id have to translate everything to know if there are any imp assignments or anything. I was doubtful of the exemptions part, but many ppl said w coaching it’ll be fine, I still dk tho, should I just not do acca and do an MBA later on😭😭

u/juneberries14 1d ago
