Dear Member, A lot of students get confused while choosing between BBA and B.Com (Hons). Let me give you some insights to help you get clarity, While the BBA course has a blend of papers from varied areas such as management, economics, marketing, human resources, finance & accounting, operations, international business, entrepreneurship, the B.Com (Hons) course delves deep into the world of finance and accounting with specific papers in Strategic Cost Control, Income Tax Law and Practice etc. to get you ready to face the industry. If you plan to also complete Chartered Accountancy, B.Com (Hons) course is usually the better choice. Further, after a B.Com (Hons) course you can pursue an M.Com or look at international accounting certifications to better carve and strengthen your career. After BBA, you can choose to get into the corporate world or go for an MBA since you would have an understanding over a diverse range of disciplines to help you decide your interest (business development, HR, Sales & Marketing, Finance & Accounting, Research Analyst etc.). Of course, the option of starting your own entrepreneurial venture stays common for careers after both courses. At IILM University, both BBA and B.Com (Hons) programs are aligned to IILM University's ethos of giving the students freedom of choice whereby they can pick up disciplines from multiple verticals. This in-process helps them specialise in two areas of their choice (major and minor) adding to their employability quotient and making them capable to handle any challenges they face during their careers (www.iilm.edu.in). Students must check out the curriculum, faculty, industry connect opportunities at their chosen universities as this will help get them closer to achieving heights in their career as a theoretical as well as practical understanding of the concepts and make you industry-ready. Hope this helps!
