Horror Subclasses UA review

Hi there

So, out of the blue WOTC has released a new Unearthed arcana, titled "Horror subclasses" about 4 days ago from me writting this blogpost, and similar to my review of the Peta D&D subclasses and the Forgotten Realms UA, I want to comb over the document and just put all my thoughts onto one singular tumblr post. Grab a coffee or whatever your currently desired beverage might be, cause this is gonna be a long one.

Reanimator Artificer

The first subclass detailed in the document is the Reanimator Artificer, if the name didn't make it obvious, it takes a lot after Frankenstein, allowing you to control an undead minion powered by science! Thematically, I already love this subclass, a Frankenstein necromancy artificer is such a cool idea for a subclass, and I love that artificers are no longer stuck to having just 4 subclasses like they were in 2014, but will my praises continue for this subclass?

The Reanimator spell list is decent, providing you with a lot of standard necromancy options like false life, blindness/deafness, animate dead and raise dead, with the neat addition of lightning bolt to enhance the frankenstien theming. Jolt of life is a moderate, but alright improvement to spare the dying (although rules as written, it might straight up kill the person your trying to revive, since it doesn't state they are immune to the effects damage), but what we're really here for is the Reanimation Companion, stats wise, its about equal to the battle smiths companion, with the added benefit of exploding upon death, which the subclass semi encourages by allowing you to summon them much faster than the battle smith can (Though unfortunately, you can't summon a new reanimation while an existing one is out) still overall a decent pet.

Strange modifications is good, granting your reanimation extra attack, in addition to being able to cast spells through the reanimation, the last part of the feature is unfortunately pretty restrictive as there aren't that many evocation + necromancy spells to cast on the 2024 artificer spell list. Improved reanimation is a fun feature, allowing you to modify your reanimation into a bloated, gaunt or moist zombie, which grants it different perks (it's also fun to say moist). And lastly, Promethean Reanimation is a good capstone, half cost on revivify/raise dead, increased necrotic burst damage + the ability to instantly explode a reanimation to regain hit points, there's not a lot to say about it, it's just decent.

Final Thoughts: This one is probably my favorite subclass of the entire UA, a frankenstein Artificer is a sick subclass idea, and I generally like most of the class features at a baseline. I think there's still some improvements that can be made for it, for instance, the last part of arcane conduit really won't come up all that often, and the friendly fire from Jolt to Life should be changed as well, but I think compared to the other subclasses, if this one released as is, it wouldn't have too many issues with it. Next subclass

EDIT: I didn't notice this until I reread the subclass, but you don't gain both benefits of Strange modification, instead you have to choose between the two options. I don't know how I misread that since I had the UA Document open while writting, but it definitely makes the subclass worse in my eyes.

College of Spirits Bard

Our next subclass is the first (of many) revisions in this UA document, this one taken from Van Richtens Guide to Ravenloft, for the uninformed, the spirits bard can be best described as the "ghost stories" bard, your songs conjure up random spirits of the dead to aid you.

Channeler combines the old Guiding Whispers and Spiritual Focus feature into one, and it acts the same as its 2014 counterparts did, the spirits from beyond table is generally decent. Empowered Channeling is decent, the spiritual focus improvement-now called Power from Beyond now actually works unlike its 2014 counterpart (Previously, you had to cast a healing or damaging spell through your spiritual focus, which left you with very little options from the bard spell list) you also now gain a free casting of spirit guardians that provides half cover, and mystical connection is your standard "make a random die table less random" feature you see on the wild magic sorccerer and such.

Final Thoughts: Yeah this subclass is mostly the same as its previous version, and unfortunately, I wasn't that much of a fan of the initial subclass, as the Dungeon Dudes have pointed out, this subclass would probably work better if the spirit effects were "riders" to you using bardic inspiration, rather than spending bardic inspiration to use an effect (similar to the existing wild magic subclasses). But honestly, I don't see why this had to be the wild magic subclass for bard, they try to explain that the spirits are "capricious, and what a Bard summons isn’t always entirely under their control." But that feels like the text trying really hard to justify the mechanics, maybe i'll get to my own spirits bard some day, but i'll have to put those ideas aside as I move onto the next subclass.

Grave Domain Cleric

The next subclass is the Grave Domain cleric from Xanathars (also known as death domain, but cooler and less evil) you worship the gods of death and the afterlife, made to thwart those that would dare defy it. I joked about it earlier, but its essentially death domain, but it works better in neutral/typical good parties, rather than the evil death domain. But that's enough ramble, lets get into the review.

The domain spells isn't that different from its 2014 counterpart besides you missing Death Ward, False life and Antilife shell, and a bonus cantrip is always appreciated, Eyes of The Grave is gone, but Circle of Mortality got a slight improvement, allowing you to deal an extra d4 damage to bloodied creatures. Path to The Grave got reworked into causing disadvantage on a creatures attack and damage rolls, as well as causing damage dealt to them to increase by 1d8 + your Cleric level, Sentinel at Deaths door now lets you reduce damage bloodied creatures take (rather than preventing crits) Divine reaper still keeps the previous keeper of souls capstone, while also allowing you to target a second creature with a necromancy spell you cast, so I guess you could do double Revivify's and Blights, it's decent.

Final Thoughts: I both like and dislike this version of the subclass, on one hand, the emphasis on the bloodied condition makes sense for the theme, but I also don't like the new versions of Path to The Grave and Sentinel at Deaths door, i'll talk a bit more about it at the end, but it feels like the features, while more powerful, loose some of the cool factor the previous one had. Like, disadvantage on attacks rolls and saving throws and 1d8 + cleric level extra damage is no doubt better, but I think the vulnerability to next instance of damage is a much more interesting (and cool) feature. With that being said, let's move onto the next subclass.

Hollow Warden Ranger

Our next subclass is the second (and last) original subclass in this UA, the Hollow Warden. The descriptions a little vague, but in essence, its a subclass meant to draw upon the darker, more twisted aspects of nature. Gnarled tree's and beast and all that. It's an interesting idea (and reminds me of Taldorei Reborns Circle of The Blighted), but onto the mechanics.

The spell list provided is decent, fits the theme rather nicely. Unfortunately that's where the nice parts of this subclass ends, cause its next feature "Wrath of The Wild" while good, providing you a bonus to AC equal to your Wisdom and creating an aura that forces people to only use an action or bonus action, it is unfortunately tied to your uses of Hunters Mark

Final Thoughts: I love the themes of this subclass, twisted fucked-up horror ranger sounds cool, and at a baseline I like the abilities presented, but it sucks that almost your entire subclass revolves around using one spell, so if you want to use something like Conjure Animals, you're basically playing a subclassless ranger at that point. Its baffling how the team can repeatedly be told "Hey, having your whole class identity revolve around a non-concentration spell that doesn't scale well is a bad idea" and then. rather than make any attempt to alleviate that problem, decided to double and triple down on this issue, I have to assume WOTC plugs its ears and screams "Lala, I can't hear you" anytime this issue is brought up, cause for it to happen not just in the 2024 UA's, but make it to final release, and then to reoccur with two post-launch subclasses is absurd. Unfortunately, this is not the only time this issue will happen in this UA Document. Next Subclass

Phantom Rogue

And we're back to the revisions, this time the Phantom Rogue from Tasha's Cauldron of Everything, its a rouge that collects artifacts from, and channels the power of ghosts from beyond. As if rouges couldn't be any edgier than they're already stereotyped to be.

This subclass is basically the same as its 2014 counterpart, I mean you can now cast Speak with Dead once per long rest, and you regain soul trinkets upon completing a Long Rest, and can regain one upon rolling initiative if you have none. But that's all the changes

Final Thoughts: Well, it sure is the phantom rogue alright, I don't have too many issues with the base subclass as is (though I honestly think the soul trinkets should be the subclasses core feature) and this revision doesn't do much more to change it so, it's alright, I do wish it interacted with the cunning strike feature that rogues got with 2024, but that's mostly because I love that feature, other than that, I have no other notes on this. Next subclass

Shadow Sorccery Sorccerer

The next subclass is the Shadow Sorccerer from Xanathars Guide to Everything, you draw your magic from the shadowfell and other dark beings,

For starters, this subclass gets an expended spell list unlike its 2014 counterpart, and its alright, Pass without Trace, Hunger of Hadar, Darkness are decent, I wish this UA document came with a revision of summon shadowspawn, because summon undead feels weird to have on this spell list. Eyes of the dark is revised to now grant blindsight and allow you to see through the darkness created by your spells (Though you get no sorccery point castings of Darkness anymore) Hound of Ill Omen was changed to Spirit of Ill Omen, which allows you cast Summon Undead without concentration and without a spell slot, riveting, I know. Shadow Walk is the same, and so is umbral form, except for the fact that Strength from The Grave (which was previously at level 1) is now part of umbral form, I have no idea why, but that's how it is.

Final Thoughts: All I can really say about this subclass is, meh, I dislike that the hound of ill omen got replaced for a free casting of a spell (As if 2024 doesn't have enough features that are just, you can cast X spell without spell slots and it is slightly modified) especially since they could have just done a stat block as has been the trend with summons ever-since Tasha's, I don't know why Strength from The Grave was move to part of the subclass capstone, getting blindsight is cool and all, but the shadow spells have a grand total of 2 that produce darkness, so that part of the feature will only occur occasionally come up, so third level might end up feeling like crap if you either don't cast the subclass spells that often, or you're fighting creatures that can see within your darkness, just a lot of weird choices all around that make me think it needs some more time in the oven. Next subclass.

Hexblade Patron Warlock

Our second to last subclass in this UA is a revision of possibly one of 5e's more infamous classes, the Hexblade warlock, your patron is a cursed weapon, imbuing those that wield it with martial power. In 2014, this subclass was rather infamous as a strong 1st-level dip since it granted you proficiency with medium armor and martial weapons, shield, charisma modifier attack and damage rolls for a non heavy/two handed melee weapon, and the everpowerful hexblades curse feature. With the 2024 ruleset however, the strongest part of the subclass got put on all warlocks using Pact of the Blade, so, how will this version of the subclass fair (subtle foreshadowing, not very well).

The expanded spell list is good, Shield is always nice, Dispel magic too, but the real trouble of this subclass begins right away with Hexblade manifest, which allows you to cast Hex without a spell slot a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier, and when you land an attack against the hex'd target you can choose to reduce its speed to half and prevent it from making opportunity attacks, cause it to take damage equal to your Charisma modifier is it doesn't attack you, or cause it to have disadvantage on its next saving throw. Remember when I mentioned the hunter's mark issue, hyperfixating a subclass design on a single concentration spell (while also not giving a way for it to be non concentration) sucks! And it's nuts that no one on the team has gotten the memo no one likes these kinds of features.

The mediocrity train continues with Life stealer, which lets you regain hit points when you drop a hexed creature to 0 hit points, and deal extra damage equal to your Charisma modifier to the creature, which is nice, but still only works with hex, resilient hex is a decent bump to your survivability (If only against your hexed creature). And for the cherry on top of this crap sundae, masterful hex is alright, crits on a roll of 19/20, dealing the additional hex damage to a second creature and damage cannot break your concentration on hex, hurray.

Final Thoughts: If you can't tell by my tone, they fucking gutted this subclass, holy shit. I understand that the subclass was left in a bit of an awkward place since its strongest feature (Charisma modifier for attack and damage rolls) was made part of pact of the blade itself, but this version isn't it. To get the elephant out of the room, I hate that this subclass forces you to use Hex all the time, cause if you don't, you're playing a subclassless warlock with a few extra spells. I could argue to some extent its worse since the Warlock is a full caster (and given that pact magic auto levels all of your spell sots to 5th) so god forbid you want to concentrate on a 6th-9th level spell and you (understandably) don't wanna cast a 1st-level spell that doesn't scale well. I also hate how most of the previous hexblades curse features were scattered across the later levels, I sure do love waiting until my subclass capstone to be able to crit on a roll of 19 or 20, rather than just getting it as part of my core feature.

And moreover, I don't think this subclass does the "blade" part of its name very well, non of the features really mesh with a gish playstyle, nor require you to use a weapon (though the 2014 version also had this issue) I forget who said it, but I recall someone saying this would fit better as a hag patron than a hexblade and honestly, I agree. It sucks too cause 2024 has both the new valor bard and the bladesinger from the Forgotten Realms UA. It's by far the worst subclass in this UA and a massive letdown for fans of the previous version. But before I loose anymore braincells, let's go over the last of the subclasses in this document.

Undead Patron Warlock

The last subclass presented in the document is the revised version of Van Richtens other subclass, The Undead Warlock (not to be confused with the undying) is you making a pact with an entity of undeath, such as a lich or mummy. I already loved the 2014 version of the subclass

The spell list is mostly the same, though the 2024 version unfortunately looses out on phantom steed in exchange for vampiric touch, it can also ignore resistance to Necrotic damage with Grave Touched, Necrotic Husk also no longer requires you use your Reaction to use, which is nice, and lastly, spirit projection got reworked into superior dread, basically adding most of spirit projections features (Minus the Bludgeoning, Piercing and Slashing resistance) to Form of Dread.

Final Thoughts: I mean, its slightly improved over the original? The 2014 version is already a great subclass so I don't think there's much WOTC could have added, plus ignoring resistance to necrotic is nice since you get slightly pidgeon-holed into using it, no real complaints here. It's just alright.

Closing Thoughts

I generally like this UA way less than the Forgotten Realms UA, the only subclass I really liked from this was the Reanimator, most of the document is filled with milktoast revisions of existing subclasses (unless you're hexblade, which got gutted), and another new subclass which, while good, is hampered by the base class its tied too.

I mentioned this while talking about the Grave Domain cleric but I want to reiterate it here, I feel like a good amount of the revisions had their cool and thematic features replaced with more mechanically powerful, but boring ones (Such as Spirit of Ill Omen or the grave domain channel divinity) and it sucks to see, sure those features might not have been the greatest, but I feel like their respectively subclasses loose a bit of their identity.

Overall, I think this UA round was disappointing, hopefully the second version of these subclasses can fix some of these issues, here's your reminder that the survey for the horror subclass UA goes out on may 13th.

With that being said, that's all I have for this review, I hope you stick around for any future UA reviews, as well as any other content I might make in the future. Stay safe, have fun, and go make some homebrew.

December - April CAS Project - CanSat

Our CAS project was a part of a larger project we are taking part in, the CanSat competition. The deadline for the CDR (Critical Design Review) report was in January so we started working on it in the middle of December. We started by carefully planning all the tests we have to complete. To be honest, we chose the tests to a large extent based on whether we will be able to get data that can be displayed visually to show our progress. And in the following weeks, we conducted the tests: we tested the parachute (once again, we do that quite a lot because all the prototypes have some flaws that we try to fix). We also did tests of the barometer’s ability to detect change of height over ground and the thermometer’s precision. We also worked on the radio, though we did not manage to get it to work before the CDR deadline and we did GPS tests. While the rest of the team was working on integrating the elements together, I did a lot of analysis of the data we achieved and made graphs, maps, and tables to display it. It would have been much harder if not for the fact that we learned those specific data analysis skills on the Physics class with mr Piotr Morawiecki so it went very well- it was pretty cool to actually use those skills in this context. And once we completed everything we planned before the deadline, we started working on the actual report itself. Since it’s a 30-page document, it took a lot of time and cost me a lot of stress about completing it in time. We worked on the report on a shared Word document which gets very laggy in such situations so it was also very annoying. Then came the formatting in Overleaf, another very annoying software. With Filip we spent like at least half of the weekend (at least 10-15h) correcting the text and formatting it, finishing the whole thing… 10 minutes before the deadline. It got super stressful at the end and because of way too little proof-reading time we actually accidentally missed the fact that we misspelled one of our team member’s name in the report (oops). But the feeling of relief after sending the report was the best.  Initially we planned that the CAS project would end after the CDR, but we decided to extend it to the end of the competition to make it actually make more sense that way - it’s more „full” like that. We worked on stuff like the CanSat case, integrating all the components, and assembling the final version of the satellite. Due to lack of time we spent the entire four days before the final deadline working on the CanSat almost all the time. We did a lot of progress during those four days and managed to build the satellite fully but unfortunately did not have the time to properly test and document it. On the second of April we received the results and we unfortunately did not manage to be among the competition’s finalists, which were the best 6 teams in Poland. That was slightly disappointing but honestly we expected that to happen after sending in the Final Design Review report

Regardless of the „failure” to qualify to the finals, I’m proud of our group because we put in a lot of work and spent a lot of time on the project. We definitely learned a lot in the process, mainly the importance of proper time management. I personally had a lot of fun in the process, but the deadlines were very stressful, especially that we always had to do work last minute. This experience also helped me to develop some skills when it comes to teamwork and maybe even some leadership skills. I kind of wish we did the project last year when we had little to no school work, as that would allow us to focus much more on the competition and maybe allow us to get better results.

CA Gas Prices Are Set to Surge Due to Newsom's Latest Failure; Chevron Exec Says State Is 'Uninvestable'

The enormity of the State of California's financial problems is well known at this point, as is the extremely high (and continually increasing) cost of living for the state's residents. While Gavin Newsom is obsessively fixated on Donald Trump and tariffs, Newsom's own policies are causing even further pain to the state government's bottom line and people living paycheck to paycheck he supposedly cares so much about:

Newsom's latest failure is, unsurprisingly, related to Big Oil. As a result of his relentless attacks on the industry, yet another refinery is shutting down operations in the state. Earlier this week Valero gave notice to the California Public Utilities Commission of its intent to shut down its refinery in Benicia, in the Bay Area, by April 2026, and in a press release announcing the move said it "continues to evaluate strategic alternatives for its remaining operations in California."

RELATED: Newsom Tells CA Lawmakers He'll Force Special Session If They Don't Pass His Bill to Increase Gas Price

The move is significant because the state currently has only 14 operating refineries, and one of those (Phillips 66's Los Angeles refinery) is already scheduled to go idle starting in October 2025. Combined, Valero's Benicia refinery and Phillips 66's Los Angeles refinery represent 17.5 percent of the state's oil production capacity. Losing both will hit middle and working-class families hard, and if Valero follows through on its implied threat of idling its other refinery in the state (in Wilmington), the state will lose another 5.24 percent of its current capacity - a total of 369,000 barrels a day.

For perspective, in 1985, when the state had a population of 25 million, there were 40 operating refineries. Even after losing millions of residents for greener (and redder) pastures, the state has a population of 39.4 million and soon will have only 12 operating refineries. Obviously, there's a major supply problem.

It could easily get much worse. Mike Vomund, a top executive with Chevron,

which produces more than 30 percent of the state's oil, wasn't positive about the company's future in California in an interview with KCRA on Thursday, saying:

"What happens down the road, I have no idea, I won't speculate on that . . . We want to stay here; the problem is the policies of California are making it uninvestable."

In addition to the onerous environmental regulations and refinery surplus bill, Vomund cited another Sacramento policy as a major problem for the oil business:

"There's a bill that was passed last year, SB 12, that has a margin cap possibility on the refining business. You can't make investments when there's this looming threat that we're gonna come in and tell you what we believe was an acceptable amount of money for you to make. So it makes it difficult to impossible to invest in that environment. So the margin cap needs to go away."

In addition to its own refineries, Chevron operates Valero and Phillips 66's refineries in the state. If all of these refineries close, there will also be a major loss of well-paying jobs.

And what's Gavin Newsom's response? Pathetic, as usual.

In the middle of that news clip, Newsom responds to Valero's news by saying:

I can assure you, beginning last night we had all hands and we're in the process of addressing any anxiety that may be created or any market disruption that may be created by that announcement.

How fruitful is that "addressing any anxiety" likely to be? Newsom's never proven able to negotiate in any way with the oil industry; he prefers the stick approach over the carrot. (For more about Newsom's inability to understand reality, read: CA Refinery Exec Explains How State Regulations Affect Gas Supply and Prices So Even Newsom Can Understand.) Much like voters who finally threw up their hands and left the state when Newsom pushed too far, these companies are at the point of just leaving the state, out of his jurisdiction.

And, what's with his timing? "Beginning last night?" I'm guessing that the oil executives weren't recipients of Newsom's "Bat Phones."

As for my Comms. class, I need to look for any seemingly sensationalized news and fact check whether the claim on the news is either factual or exaggerated.

I found one such post while I was scrolling through Instagram. A page I follow called "TheOther98". While this page does post mostly left winged news, it often posts memes and content far left that even some of their followers' base do not agree with. The post in question is two Twitter accounts making 2 different claims on the state of Fast-food chains in a state where the minimum wage is quite high ($20/hr) "Shake Shack to shut 6 California locations, including 5 in LA, after state's $20/hr minimum wage hike" according to the NYPost.

The article: https://nypost.com/2024/08/28/business/shake-shack-to-shut-6-california-locations-after-states-20-minimum-wage-hike/

An individual with the handle JdcMedlock states "California's Minimum wage is so powerful it even compelled Shake Shake (Shack) to close locations in Houston and Ohio." The post from Medlock seems to be sarcastic, claiming that the minimum wage hike does not correlate with multiple closures in other states.

The initial post from the NYPost did give me a knee jerk reaction at the state of California, but then the subsequent post had me question whether or not NYPost is telling the truth. To get a better understanding of the situation, I searched for the original article made by the NYPost to understand what the title might not have covered entirely. First, the article was written by Taylor Herzlich, a Fordham College graduate with a degree in Journalism and English. The other collaborator of the post is Josh Kosman, a long time NYPost Journalist covering Financial and Business news. While reading the article, it claims many other fast-food chains have been pulling out of California as well, though as I read the article further it seems that it is using claims from these other fast-food chains to make the same statement for Shake Shack. For example, "Rubio’s California Grill closed 48 of its nearly 134 locations at the end of May, citing the “rising cost of doing business” in the state for the closures and filed for bankruptcy in June." When it came to Shake Shack making a statement about their closures, they simply stated the decision was based “in part due to changes in the trade area,” and refused to comment on the minimum wage hike in CA. Lastly, in the same article, it shows California’s fast-food industry has added jobs every month this year, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics. This statistic is not indicative of economic downturn and major fast-food closures.

The final nail in the coffin is James Medlock himself. Researching Medlock, a self-proclaimed social democrat who often discusses about wages and labor. This tells me he has some stake in the game when it comes to economics, despite what political view he carries. Medlock's post states other closing locations, 2 in Houston and 1 in Ohio. Minimum wage in Texas is $7.25/hr while Ohio's minimum wage is $10.45/hr. This information I found has brought me to the conclusion that the title does not at all tell the full story and even the context of the article does not back up what the title indicates. It is simply an exaggerated headline to attract more clicks. It got me!

Backstory

Jessica Hall didn't have an ordinary childhood life but a amazed life with a superhero team she grows up with since she was just a baby. Jessica is the daughter of Cali Hall who is part of the all-female team The Giantastics along with her aunt Tanya Hall a.k.a Titanya and her is Father Steven Webber a world-famous scientist.

Unlike her mother Cali Hall who is 196ft tall and go by the name Colossa, Jessica didn't inherit her mother gene but show to be a very intelligent young girl of her age. At the age of 5 Jessica build her Android robot and at the age of 8 she builds her first cryberbike. Both Cali and Steven were amazed at their daughter seeing her becoming a genius at a young age. Knowing she will have a bright future ahead of her Cali and Steven enroll Jessica into a public-school call Central Tech where she meets first and close best friend Elizabeth Anderson.

On her 10th birthday Jessica and Cali was celebrating her birthday while Steven was at work working on a new project when his lab partner Eric Blackheart. Two was great friend was Eric want more power while Steven went to help people, Steven begins to notice the experiment they were doing was getting to danger and he want it to stop it. Haven't come to far of this experiment Eric know what he has to do keep this experiment going. Cali end up getting a phone call from the police telling her that Steven was kill in a car accident, Cali broken down in tear after hearing her husband has dead and find out she was one month pregnant with her youngest child but of young Jessica she will see her daddy come home of her birthday. Throughout her hold teen years Jessica has been involved in a lot of street racing betting on money, gambling and getting into trouble with the law enforcement this led to Jessica and her mother constantly getting into a huge argument over her rebellion behave.

Later that night Jessica want of her mom to the fall asleep as she sneaks out with her with some of her friends to break into a lab where her mother work at.

B.Com Hons: A Smart Investment in Your Financial Future

In the ever-evolving world of commerce and finance, one degree that has stood the test of time and continues to gain momentum is B.Com (Hons)—a course designed not just to educate, but to empower. Whether you aspire to work in corporate finance, become a CA or CS, or even start your own venture, a B.Com Hons admission could be your golden ticket to a thriving professional journey.

Why B.Com Hons? Beyond Just Numbers

Unlike general commerce degrees, B.Com Hons goes deeper. It offers specialization in areas like accounting, finance, economics, taxation, and business law. Students are trained to think critically, analyze data, understand markets, and make informed business decisions. This makes them more than just commerce graduates—it makes them commerce strategists.

The process of B.Com Hons admission is becoming increasingly competitive, thanks to the growing awareness among students about the value of specialization.

Some reputed colleges also conduct entrance exams or consider performance in national-level tests like CUET.

In short, if you’re a student with an analytical mind and a love for numbers and economics, B.Com Hons eligibility criteria are well within your reach.

What’s the Investment? A Look at B.Com Hons Fees

When it comes to higher education, cost plays a significant role in decision-making. The B.Com Hons fees vary depending on the institute and mode of learning. While government colleges may charge as little as ₹10,000–₹25,000 per year, private or autonomous institutions can range anywhere between ₹50,000–₹2,00,000 annually.

However, the good news is that the return on investment is strong. Many universities also offer scholarships, EMI options, and financial aid, making the course accessible to students from all walks of life.

Indian Curriculum vs. Other Options in Ajman: What Parents Need to Consider

Selecting the proper stream of education for your child is a serious decision that seals his/her fate. In Ajman, a diverse and developing emirate, parents are presented with an array of different curricula to opt for — Indian curriculum, British, American, and IB systems, etc. Of those, Ajman Indian schools are highly preferred by most expat groups, especially those from South Asia. But what makes them stand out among other curricula?

Here is a comparison review to assist Ajman parents in making the appropriate choice in the educational and social progress of their kids.

Getting Familiar with the Indian Curriculum in Ajman

Indian curriculum, offered largely through CBSE and ICSE boards, is well-known for the organization of its syllabus, academical difficulty, and solid emphasis on core subjects such as Math, Science, and English.

Ajman Indian schools that adopt the CBSE curriculum ensure that students undergo a smooth educational transfer in case they need to go back to India for higher education or competitive examinations such as NEET, JEE, or CA.

Comparison with Other Curriculum Models in Ajman

1. British Curriculum (IGCSE & A-Levels)

It promotes critical thinking and open subject choices. It is ideal for those who wish to specialize early and even continue higher education within the UK, Canada, or other Commonwealth nations.

2. American Curriculum

Being project-based, detailed, and holistic, the American curriculum suits students who like constant assessment and more subject choices. It promotes creativity, innovation, and leadership abilities.

3. International Baccalaureate (IB)

The IB curriculum is globally recognized and fosters inquiry learning as well as global consciousness. It is greatly desired by the world's leading universities, but will probably be costly.

4. UAE Ministry of Education Curriculum

This curriculum is predominantly used by Emirati students and contains a strong Arabic language, Islamic studies, and UAE social studies content.

Major Considerations for Parents in Ajman

1. Academic Goals

If your intention is that your child study further in India, Indian schools in Ajman would be the best bet. The Indian curriculum is tailored for acceptance to Indian universities and is an excellent scholastic base.

If the foreign study is in the pipeline, IB or British A-Levels may offer more flexibility and direct university access globally.

2. Learning Style

The Indian curriculum is theoretical and examination-based, which suits students who function well under disciplined, organized conditions. American or IB programs, however, emphasize continuous assessment, teamwork, and practical application.

3. Affordability

Ajman Indian schools tend to be low-cost compared to IB or British curriculum schools. They offer good-quality education at a lower cost, making them very popular among middle-class families.

4. Cultural Familiarity

For Indian expatriate communities, Indian schools in Ajman offer cultural familiarity. With known language, tradition, and methodology, the schools allow the kids to remain grounded.

5. University Acceptance

While CBSE and ICSE are internationally recognized, students would have to sit for other standardized tests (e.g., SAT or IELTS) to gain foreign university. Curricula such as IB or British A-Levels could facilitate smoother entry into well-established foreign universities.

Conclusion

Ajman provides a diversified range of curriculums that will be suitable for the various different educational needs of the residents. Ajman Indian schools are the optimal option for the majority of the families, although, with the integration of academic intensity, affordability, and cultural familiarity. Other curriculums such as British, American, or IB may provide autonomy and international mobility.

Finally, parents should take into account the child's learning style, educational aims, and professional ambitions before making a decision. School tours, interviews with teachers, and curriculum planning information will guarantee the child's optimal placement for the future in Ajman.

Build a Solid Foundation from the Beginning

Every finance journey starts with mastering the basics. Sanjay Saraf Classes make this process both comprehensive and engaging.

Instead of just memorizing formulas, students learn to apply these principles in realistic scenarios.

Transitioning from basic concepts to advanced financial instruments might seem overwhelming. However, the step-by-step teaching methodology of Sanjay Saraf Classes makes this journey smooth and empowering. Every topic builds on the previous one, helping students grasp advanced concepts with ease.

Flexible Learning for Every Schedule

One of the biggest advantages of Sanjay Saraf Classes is flexibility. Whether you are a full-time student or a working professional, there’s a learning mode that fits your needs. Choose from live sessions, classroom coaching, or Direct-to-Home (D2H) lectures.

The Study At Home platform is another great feature. It gives 24/7 access to recorded video lectures, allowing students to pause, replay, and revise anytime. This makes it easier to tackle difficult topics or reinforce weak areas during revision.

Moreover, learners receive regular mock tests, RTPs, and MTPs to assess their performance. These tools are vital in identifying strengths and addressing weaknesses well before exam day.

Practical Learning That Mirrors Real Finance Roles

Unlike traditional classes that focus purely on theory, Sanjay Saraf Classes emphasize practical application. Lessons often mimic real-world financial problems, giving students a taste of what it’s like to work in high-stakes roles like equity research or corporate finance.

The practical edge comes from Sanjay Saraf himself. As both an experienced educator and finance consultant, he brings insights directly from the industry. This blend of academic rigor and market relevance ensures students understand the reasoning behind financial decisions—not just how to solve for X.

This approach nurtures decision-making and analytical skills that are crucial in competitive finance careers. It also equips students to handle interviews and workplace challenges with confidence.

A Global Learning Perspective

Though primarily known for CA preparation, Sanjay Saraf SFM Classes also cater to students targeting global certifications like CFA, FRM, and AFM. The concept-driven curriculum aligns well with international standards, making it easier for learners to transition into global finance careers.

In an interconnected financial world, this global outlook gives learners a distinct edge. They’re not just trained for local job markets—they’re prepared to excel in global finance arenas.
