B.Com programme is offered by a lot of colleges in Punjab. Having said that choose a decent college that would help you to develop new skills. Based on my own experience I would refer you to consider PCTE Group of Institutes as it provides a lot of practical exposure to its students. I in fact have done B.Com from PCTE and the college had indulged us in a variety of activities, games, exercises, workshops like RAWAR, Consumer Hub to name a few. We were taught how to use Tally Software during the course curriculum, amazing right you would not have to pay extra amount money to learn it from other institutes. Not only this, I had 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 degree programme gave me a lot of exposure, I learned a lot of skills that I still use at my work place, I got a lot of exposure not only academically but also in enhancing my overall personality along with my personal skills, believe me I had participated in a lot of activities and have explored people from 42countries under one roof. I did not have to go out of my country to experience global environment. So checkout PCTE if you want the exposure that I had to enhance my personality.

Both BBA and B.Com have their own set of merits and career scope. It depends entirely on the students areas of interest and skills before choosing either of the courses. If making a career in management is your priority then you should go for BBA as it the foundation for management and has been specifically designed for MBA aspirants. B.Com on the other hand, is much more diversified and has a wider scope for specialization for post graduate study. Some of the universities offering both the courses are: -Indian Institute of Management (IIM), Indore -Lovely Professional University, Jalandhar -Loyola College, Chennai -Christ University, Bangalore -St. Xaviers College, Mumbai -Madras Christian College, Chennai -Goenka College Of Commerce and Business Administration, Kolkata -Christ University, Bangalore -NMIMS University, Mumbai Thus, it is advisable to first chalk out your skills, aptitude and area of interest before taking up any of the courses. Instead of looking at the money making aspect while choosing a course it is more feasible to choose a course that will give you long-term benefits rather than a short term. Good Luck.
