so basically, anyone who wants to do that double degree should pick B eng only?
then if your marks and UAI is good enough you can pick transfer to Beng/Bcomm.
cant you choose Bcom in the first yr then transfer to the double degree?

 

[SoFTuaRiaL]

no, u cant do that becos through most part of the course u will be doing more BE subjects every semester. this is natural as the BE is a 4 yr degree, wheras the BCom is only 3 yrs ....

 

[Rahul]

alrity....well in that case i may have to choose Beng instead of Bcom in my preferences.

the site does not mention anything about choosing a certain major, will choosing computer engineering be ok?

Looks like it

lol, thanks.
he mentioned that it was better to check it.

Where possible, students will be encouraged to undertake the BE BCom combined degree program which is considered to offer advantages over the "Fast Track" program.

If that's the case, what's the point of a fasttrack program discarding the MComm instead of the BComm?

So the only point of the fasttrack program is to get the MComm in one year instead of 1.5 years?

 

[SoFTuaRiaL]

instead of 2 yrs !!

Master of Commerce alone takes 3 semesters (12 6CP subjects)
1.5 yrs in other words

i believe thats only if uve completed a BCOm (since u can get exemptions for some MCom subjects). or am i wrong abt that?

Well, if u get exemptions, it takes even less time.
off the FCE website, all Master of Commerce programs are 1.5 years full time, with no exemptions

So theres still no possibility of a double degree + double major?

 

[SoFTuaRiaL]

why would u wanna do a double major in MCom ? i mean, its sposed to be specialised ....
as with BCom, no, u cant do a double major ..... but u might be able to squueze in a minor, not too sure abt that. its not possible with actuarial, that i know .... infact, with actuarial, even to complete a single major, u have to overload and do a coupla summers

 

[enak]

Ye I ment double major in BCom

So one major and one minor? That should be ok.
