See uma...i think you should go for the B.Com course first..because if you dont clear CA Final, you wont be awarded the M.Com degree....and as per the point no.5 in the FAQ link given above by mannu, it seems that without doing your graduation, you cannot join the M.com course of IGNOU...

"5. Who are eligible to join this special programme to be announced by the IGNOU?
Ans. Graduate in any discipline or equivalence from a recognized university and joined Final Stage of Chartered Accountancy of ICAI."

Hence go for the B.Com, it will not take much time...since you have completed your articleship and passed CA PCC, you can get the B Com degree in just 1 year, by giving just only 6 papers offered by IGNOU comprising of 32 credits. The fee for the whole programme is just Rs.4800 only.

Yes you are eligible for it....actually when the prospectus was drafted, there was only PCC, and since then after the introduction of IPCC, it has not been updated....but both are eligible, either you are from PCC or IPCC, you can apply for it.

I have the same question. Is this degree valid and acceptable for applying for CAT exams??

I am asking this cuz i saw sm b-schools eligibility criteria,which consisted of a 3 year bachelors degree! Besides, for becoming a member of ICA australia (ICAA), and other country's CA institute,u need to hav 3 year bachelor's degree alongwith ICAI membership,besids pasing country specific law exam! so does that mean IGNOU's degree would be invalid?
