Hi,
A Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) is completely different from a Chartered Accountants (CA).
CFA is more perceived as a course aimed towards corporate finance and financial investments. There is a greater demand for accountant professionals than financial analysts. Therefore in an organization the CA's outnumber the people handling finance areas like treasury operations, corporate finance and project evaluation by the ratio of 5:1 and even 10:1. the additional advantage is that a CA can go into a private practise or join a specialized accounting firm after a few years of experience. They have job opportunities, both in the industry as well as in specialized accountancy firms and as private practitioners.
A qualified CFA candidate can also become either a financial analyst or an independent investment consultant. A CA will compete only with another CA, but in the case of CFA he will be competing with the non- CFAs who will be practicing. I feel that CFA will be most profitable in combination with some other degree, by this I am not discounting any CFA stand alone. Maybe, a CFA along with an MBA will have more opportunities in this industry. CFA is more of a value addition degree which channels your knowledge and it is more focused and is a value addition to your skill sets.

Hi,
Ideal options after B.COM are M.COM, MBA, LLB, etc. However if you are passionate about making a career in IT industry, then you may pick M.C.A
If no Maths, then you can opt the following ways-
1. Pick Post Graduate Diploma in Computer Applications which will make you eligible for 2nd year M.C.A through lateral entry and simultaneously pursue DOEACC A Level.
2. Distance M.C.A with I.G.N.O.U as it allows you to clear Maths exam and then proceed with the master program.
Simultaneously, you can opt for industry relevant certifications which are designed basically to provide an extra edge to an individual by giving them an in-depth knowledge in a particular area of subject.

Hi,
I would like to differentiate between the two on the following parameters-
Career prospects
B.Com- MEDIUM – since the course is general in nature. However, have a wider choice in higher studies that would get a good start to your career.
BBI MEDIUM – since the course is general in nature, you need to do a specialization in banking / insurance higher studies to get a good start to your career.
Advantages / Limitations
B.Com The choices are wider and students gets basic idea of other areas of commerce and trade, viz., hr, export-import, economics etc., However, since there is no specialization to choose, it lacks focus in any one area of study, though accounting is a major subject in the curriculum.PS: B.Com (honors) gives students a choice of specialization in its last year
BBI The study focuses on all aspects of banking and insurance subjects. However, it lacks in depth study of accounting and other areas of commerce and trade.
Which course to choose – B.Com or BBI course?
B.Com is for students who are basically good in accounting, but are also open / would like to have a wider choice of subjects for higher studies later viz., Economics, Industrial Psychology, HR, Export-Import etc.,
BBI is for students who are focused and interested only in the banking and insurance sector.
