A_{1}/D_{0} and D_{0} characteristics of magnetic circular dichroism and absorption spectra are studied for the low-energy A_{g} → T_{1u} transitions in the C_{60} molecule in terms of the self-consistent field Parieser-Parr-Pople method applied in the full configuration interaction-1 treatment. The effects are discussed at different levels of configuration interaction and the results are compared to the earlier ones obtained From the CNDO/S method. We argue that the earlier treatment fails to account correctly for the experimental magnetic circular dichroism and absorption spectra of C_{60} molecule. This is most probably due to deficiency of the configuration interaction basis set and/or to the intrinsic parametrization of complete neglect of differential overlap method.
