Hello Achari,According to the best of my knowledge, I would like to suggest you that both BBA and B.Com have their own merits. It depends entirely on your interest before choosing either of the courses.
If making a career in management is your priority, then you should go for BBA as it is the foundation of 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 specialisation for post-graduate study.
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 short-term.
I hope this information helpful for your bright future. Thanks and all the best.

Master in Business Administration (MBA) is a two years degree course in the field of management. In India, MBA degree can be awarded by any recognised university or by a business school affiliated to any university. Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) is a two years diploma course offered by the institutes that are recognised by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and which are autonomous and not affiliated to any university. It is not mandatory that a PGDM is equal to MBA. PGDM institutes accreditation by Association of Indian Universities (AIU) makes an institute's PGDM course equivalent to an MBA.
There are a large number of similarities between the curriculum of both MBA and PGDM. An MBA institute follows a fixed curriculum as it will be based on the university's guidelines which occasionally may not be aligned to the industry requirements. Autonomous institutes do not follow university standards, so it has the flexibility to align its curriculum according to the industry standards and change in the business environment. Some of the PGDM from IIMs, XLRI, etc has more value then MBA. However, MBA of FMS DU, IIFT, etc. have similar value as IIMs. Students are advised to choose institutes based on its ranking not on the nomenclature of degree.
You are eligible to seek admission in MBA/PGDM after B.Com. You are advised to refer to following link for list of top MBA/PGDM colleges in India:
