A big NO. For the students who have keen aptitude, interest and right bent of mind for commerce it is infact the best possible degree! In Indian context, the commerce graduates have a large number of option to do in career like accounting jobs, GST filing professionals, billing executives, executive trainees, data analysis etc. And have good chance to go in for professional qualifications like MBA, CA CFA CMA, CS etc. The biggest point is: from where to do this degree to have best exposure and placements! You must choose the best of the lot like SRCC, LSR, Xaviers, loyola, Christ and LPU etc. While all the above have a legacy and heritage to their name, LPU has carved a niche for itself over last decade or so with following salient features : Internationally Accredited by Accreditation Council for Business Schools and programme (ACBSP). Interdisciplinary Minors are offered in various inter-disciplinary areas like IT, Journalism, Agriculture, Fashion and Tourism to complement the current area of study.

To answer your question in a single line, Commerce is not useless and in fact commerce has become inevitable part of human life. That totally depends on the definition of commerce. The dictionary meaning of commerce is the activity of buying and selling/social dealings with people. Most of the students get into commerce stream with no understanding of what it involves. Many students are under the false impression that career moves are to be made after graduation only. The more you postpone this decision, the lesser are the career choices you can make. Usually, there are three types of courses in the commerce segment I. e. , academic courses (like B.Com professional courses (like CS CA etc. ). And vocational courses (like Banking & Finance etc. ). Generally, students tend to rely only on the academic courses with no inclination towards acquiring practical skill sets. But students with practical skills and vocational courses are given more preference by recruiters. So, it makes much more sense for students to pursue a B.Com degree along with CS and Banking & Finance course. I will suggest you to do B.Com-MBA for better career opportunity. The number of institutes offering the B.Com course is overwhelming. However, not all of them can boast about quality. That why, you need a reputed institute like the Lovely Professional University to study such advanced course. The institute has an amazing infrastructure with experienced faculty giving holistic education to their students. The placement cell is also well-organized and regularly places their candidates into the biggest names in the corporate world. LPU offers Professional Enhancement Programme so that students attain skills necessary for the job in the relevant field. At the same time, the varsity conducts mock placement drives to build self-confidence in students. LPU has a separate placement committee for each stream such as engineering, architecture, management, arts, sciences etc.

No, there are so many options in this field. So definitely if you are interested you can proceed. I am also having a commerce background. So here are the few options which I would like to highlight for your future. Make your career in the commerce field through B.Com and M.Com Choose a Management field Become an Chartered accountant Become a Company Secretary Become a Lawyer Start up your own venture After 12th if you do not want to continue with commerce, you can even choose the designing field. I have been in LPU so I can vouch on their practices that they are implementing and I have witnessed their effort for students and management working hard for placement and imparting quality teaching. Here are few highlights which I would be sharing for helping you to develop your mind set. LPU is a well renowned private university in India. There are more than 200 programmes to choose and with a great infrastructure LPU provides all the facilities within the campus itself. LPU has earned many affiliations, recognitions and accreditation down the lane and mark itself amongst the few of the top private universities. Even the placement opportunities in LPU are much better than other private universities as it is ranked the 5th amongst the other universities for its placement records. The university provides ample opportunities to each and every of the eligible students to secure good placement. Special inputs in the form of placement classes are given to students to hone their skills and prepare them for placements. The university leaves no stone unturned to shape the future of its students. It is definitely the first choice of both national and international students. LPU has become the landing place of many leading industries for recruitment. It has many top rankings in placements.
