After completion of class 12, the biggest dilemma for any student lies in the question - 'What NEXT?' One reliable answer to this question can be - 'B.Com'
Commerce is a popular stream among HSC (10+2) students in India. Having studied Commerce in Class XI-XII allows candidates to choose from a multitude of courses at Graduation level, paving the way for a range of career choices. One of the major benefits that Commerce students have over Arts students is that they are eligible for both Commerce and Arts courses. This course selection, be it academic or vocational, at the time of college admissions is crucial. It must be an informed decision taken after having complete understanding of the course one is opting for.
We would like to mention that course options at Graduation level for both these categories are almost the same, difference being that students who have not studied Mathematics in Class XI and XII will have to put in extra effort in the subject in their UG course.
Now the first question that comes to every student’s mind – Which course to select after Class 12 Commerce? While students are advised to select the course depending on individual aptitude and interest, Shiksha has put together extensive details of 21 courses that are most popular at undergraduate (UG) level on Shiksha, among students who have completed Class 12th in Commerce. These details include course highlights, list of colleges across India offering that course, college reviews, top specializations, and frequently asked questions and answers about each course.
Bachelor of Commerce, also known as BCom/BCom (Hons) is an undergraduate degree that can be pursued by students who have cleared 10+2 in Science, Arts or Commerce stream. However, preference is given to students who have studied Commerce in 10+2 level. The duration of the course spans over a period of 3 years in Indian colleges/Universities.
