About Seshadripuram College Bengaluru
About Seshadripuram College Bengaluru
Seshadripuram College, Bengaluru was established in 1959 by the Seshadripuram Educational Trust. Affiliated to Bengaluru City University with NAAC A grade, the college is particularly known for its BCom programme and its practical orientation toward CA (Chartered Accountancy) — a combination that makes it one of the more purposeful commerce choices in central Bengaluru for students who have already decided they're targeting CA alongside their degree.
The campus is in Seshadripuram, about 10 minutes walking distance from Majestic (Kempegowda) bus station and 1.2 km from Majestic metro station. That location matters for students who commute from Rajajinagar, Yeshwanthpur, Malleshwaram and Peenya — it cuts daily travel time significantly compared to colleges in south or east Bengaluru.
Courses and Fees
| Course | Duration | Seats | Annual Fee (Approx) |
|---|---|---|---|
| BCom (General) | 3 Years | 200 | ₹15,000–₹22,000 |
| BA | 3 Years | 120 | ₹12,000–₹18,000 |
| BSc (PCM / CBZ) | 3 Years | 80 | ₹18,000–₹28,000 |
As a private aided college, fees are regulated under the Karnataka government aided fee structure — lower than unaided private colleges. Management quota seats are available through the trust office at higher fees. SC/ST students apply for post-matric scholarship.
BCom and CA Integration
The college runs a dedicated CA coaching wing that operates in parallel with the BCom curriculum. This is not the same as a standalone CA coaching centre — it is integrated into the college schedule so that BCom students can attend CA Foundation and Intermediate classes without missing their degree lectures. Several BCom graduates from Seshadripuram have cleared CA Intermediate while still in their third year — a pattern that requires this kind of timetable coordination that most colleges don't offer. CA firms in Bengaluru's Shivajinagar and Sadashivanagar CA hub are aware of this, which is why Seshadripuram BCom students get articleship calls from these firms at a higher rate than comparable colleges.
Admission Process
Applications through Bengaluru City University affiliated colleges portal in June. Merit in 12th Commerce or Arts is the primary criterion for BCom. Students from Science background with PCM are also considered for BCom. BSc admissions require 12th PCM or CBZ. No entrance exam. Management quota applications are submitted directly to the Seshadripuram Educational Trust office. BCom seats fill quickly — apply the first week the university portal opens. There is no hostel — students commute from across north and central Bengaluru, with Majestic metro and BMTC providing good connectivity.
Career Scope
The majority of BCom graduates from Seshadripuram follow two paths: CA articleship (targeting CA Intermediate and Final while working at Bengaluru CA firms), or direct entry into banking (IBPS PO/clerk, SBI PO, Karnataka Bank exams). BA graduates predominantly target KPSC and BBMP administrative posts. BSc graduates largely go into MSc or government scientific assistant roles. The college does not run a formal campus placement drive — BCom students typically self-place through the CA coaching network, alumni referrals and direct CA firm applications.
