B.Com. (Honours with Research) with Specialization in Business Management Equity Research Syllabus - Mumbai University
This is the SY BCom BM syllabus under NEP 2020, in force from the academic year 2025-26. The University clubbed this degree with B.Com., B.Com. (Accountancy) and B.Com. (Business Economics) on 25 May 2026 and now awards it as B.Com. (Commerce and Management), with Business Management as the Major: the papers below are the ones its own Board of Studies sets, so your exam form may name the degree differently from your admission letter. The four Major papers of Semesters III and IV are the four credit versions the University issued on 5 August 2026, which carry twice the modules of the two credit papers set for these semesters before them.
