  • Abstract:
  • The rise of digital technologies has fundamentally altered accounting practices across the globe. In the Indian context, the gradual shift from manual book-keeping to digital accounting systems—driven by enterprise resource planning (ERP), cloud computing, and e-accounting platforms—has necessitated a paradigm shift in commerce education. This paper, based entirely on secondary data, examines the need to incorporate e-accounting into commerce curricula in India. Drawing from existing literature, academic policy documents, and industry reports, it analyzes pedagogical frameworks, institutional preparedness, and stakeholder expectations to propose a structured approach for integration. The analysis reveals significant gaps in curriculum design, faculty training, and infrastructure, which collectively hinder the digital readiness of commerce graduates. Recommendations include curriculum redesign, faculty capacity building, infrastructure enhancement, and policy support. Addressing these challenges can align commerce education with contemporary industry needs and ensure graduates possess the digital competencies vital for employability and national economic growth.
