Accounting & Commerce

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.
