Arts in 10+2 still eligible for Bachelor of Commerce

<p style="text-align: justify;">All the students after giving the 10th exam always feel restless and anxious about what field to choose. Most of the students who score good marks on their 10th standard go for science and commerce streams. But only few students choose art with their keen interest. Selecting a career field at the age of 15 or 16 year is too early to decide the future of the student. The students who choose arts in <img style="border: 3px solid black; margin: 3px 4px; float: right;" src="https://images.shiksha.com/mediadata/images/1268645074phpKKOAIm.jpeg " alt="" width="150" height="110">their 10+2 exams are not eligible to choose the commerce in their graduation till now. To overcome this scenario the Mumbai University has come up with a revolutionary idea of allowing an arts student to choose Commerce at graduation level.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><br />With is new decision of the University, all the students irrespective to the field they choose in their 10+2 are eligible to select B.Com at their graduation level. They are eligible to take admission in B.Com. This step has been taken to make the eligibility criteria more flexible and student friendly. The academic council of the Mumbai University has taken such initiative which will be welcomed by all the students.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><br />Mumbai University registrar K Venkatramani said, &ldquo;Earlier, students either had to be commerce pass or they had to clear Std XII with three subjects related to commerce like maths, statistics or economics. But now any student can apply for BCom.&rdquo;</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><br />He further added in this context, &ldquo;The decision was taken for the benefit of arts and science students. For subjects like Bachelor of Management Studies (BMS), Bachelor of Mass Media (BMM) or even Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BSc-IT), we don&rsquo;t have such eligibility criterion. So why should there be any for BCom?&rdquo;</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><br />The students and teacher majorly feel that this decision will help the students those who are looking for a change after their 10+2. It is a progressive step and will help the students to look forward for their future. Implementing such step will give more freedom to students and also inspire them to work more hard to change the study field if they want to change the career path. This kind of broad step shows that the system is becoming more flexible and adaptive for students so that the students would not feel paralyzed due to the unchangeable norms and rules. <br /><br /><br /><strong>Source: Manisha Verma (Team Shiksha)<br /><br />Date: 11th March, 2010<br /></strong></p> <hr /> <p><strong>For further details about related courses and colleges please click below:</strong><br /><a href="https://banking.shiksha.com" target="_blank"><br />Related courses and colleges</a></p>
