If you are looking for a graduation course in commerce then B. Comm (Hons) is the right programme that you should be doing. Having said that it is very important to pick the right college because there are a lot of institutes that still use the orthodox method of teaching which is more theory based. Try considering a college which will give you practical exposure, there is one college in Ludhiana which is PCTE Group of Institutes, I have done my B.Com from this college and believe me PCTE is known for providing practical exposure to its students. We students were involved in a lot of activities like RAWAR, Consumer Hub. The hands-on learning that we got here in the college have helped me big time after my graduation like Tally Software, I learned how to file my own income tax returns, got to know how to make a PAN card, explored online banking and so forth. The three-year programme evolves the students not only academically but students also get opportunities to learn a lot of skills that help them at their work place. Students get ample opportunities to participate in a lot of activities and explore a global campus where there are students studying from 42countries under one roof. Visit the campus or contact the admission team to know more about the course. !
