Therefore, first you have to join and complete MCom with good marks. There is no other shortcuts are available to become a Lecturer. You can also do a PhD after completion of MCom to become a Lecturer. Candidates with a PhD (regular mode) qualification can join as a Lecturer without NET or SET qualification. It is necessary for others to pass NET or SET examination to become a Lecturer. These are the options available for the BCom completed students to become a lecturer.
