Reality Check: Placements are modest

Only 40% of the batch lands campus offers, and the roster leans toward entry-level bank roles and accounting firms. If you’re aiming for a fat paycheck right out of college, you’ll need to hustle off-campus or stack certifications like CA/CMA alongside this degree.

The verdict

Worth considering

Queen Mary’s B.Com. General is a steal if your priority is an affordable, reputable degree from Chennai. But with a 40% placement rate and modest average salaries, this program rewards self-starters who plan to use the 3 years to prep for CA, MBA, or government exams rather than rely solely on campus placements.
