“Veranda XL Partners with SDNB Vaishnav College to Launch B.Com Professional Accounting Program with CA Coaching”

In line with the target of achieving Rs 600 crore over the next five years through institutional partnerships, J.K. Shah Classes (a brand of Veranda XL), which is a subsidiary of Veranda Learning Solutions, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with SDNB Vaishnav College for Women, Chennai, to introduce a Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com) program enriched with a Chartered Accountancy (CA) course. This initiative aims to provide students with a robust academic foundation and practical expertise in commerce and accountancy.

J.K. Shah Classes, with a legacy of over 40 years and having produced over 1800 all-India rankers, will deliver the value-added CA course, ensuring students receive industry-relevant knowledge and skills. The inclusion of CA coaching within the B.Com program prepares students to meet the rigorous demands of the CA exams while they complete their undergraduate degree, saving time and effort in their pursuit of professional qualifications. This early exposure to CA coursework allows students to build a solid foundation in critical areas such as financial reporting, auditing, taxation, and strategic financial management. This dual program enhances their employability, making them suitable for a wide range of roles such as financial analysts, auditors, tax consultants, and management accountants.

Key Highlights of the program:

Value-added B.Com Program: The course curriculum will seamlessly combine traditional commerce education with a comprehensive CA training program, offering students a unique and holistic learning experience. Expert Faculty and Resources: Students will have access to JK Shah Classes’ esteemed faculty and resources, renowned for producing successful CA professionals. Enhanced Employability and internships: Graduates of the program will be better equipped for career opportunities in accounting, finance, and related fields, significantly enhancing their employability and career prospects. Empowering Women in Commerce: This partnership underscores a commitment to empowering women through quality education, aligning with SDNB Vaishnav College's vision of fostering academic excellence among women.

The Principal (i/c) of SDNB Vaishnav College for Women Dr. R Radha, said, “The collaboration with Veranda XL will provide our students with an edge in the competitive world of commerce and finance. We believe this program will greatly benefit our students by providing them with the knowledge and skills needed for successful careers.” On the collaboration, Mr. Vishal Shah, Chief Operating Officer, J.K. Shah Classes, said, “This MoU represents an important step in our mission to provide top-tier education and professional training to students across India. This will be our 8 th partnership with an institution in Tamil Nadu to deliver a B. Com+ CA program, with many more in the pipeline. By combining the strengths of Veranda and SDNB Vaishnav College, we are confident in our ability to offer a transformative educational experience.”
