I might not have studied B.Com with ACCA at St. Joseph College, Bangalore, but one of my friends did, so let me share his experience, which might answer your question. If you want to do B.Com, it would be a good idea to do both at the same time. It however requires a lot of hard work.  You should try and concentrate on two areas, with ACCA requiring more devotion and effort.  There are times when you must forgo ‘all the fun' at university to focus on ACCA. There would be occasions when you would have to submit a portfolio to your university or when you have a university examination and an ACCA examination at the same time.  Because you're doing it together, you will not be eligible for any ACCA exemptions.  Furthermore, due to university obligations, you will not be able to complete more papers per session.  On the plus side, you will save a significant amount of time (2 years approximately). It all goes down to how well you can manage your time. Go for it, if you think you can do it together. All of this is based on my friend's experience. This experience might vary in case of other students.
