    It totally depend on your interest, if you have interest in accounting, then go for B.Com. Otherwise, BBA is also a good option.

    I think BA is better option, because you can do MBA. You can get good job after BA.

    MBA is definitely not losing it's scope. While you might have been given an opinion by someone, I am too giving you one. BBA is more business oriented than B.Com.
    BBA offers more case studies, projects and internships which means more learning than B.Com
    Firstly, figure out you why BBA?
    Choose BBA, if you want job prospects like that of a HR, Business analyst, Marketing and sales manager and so on dealing with Management. Choose B.Com if you want job prospects like that of a financial analyst, Data analyst. You will majorly deal with statistics and finance and Economics. Hope this helps.

    Dear friend, it is based on your wish.
    If you are very interested in accounting and business, you go with B.Com. Also, B.Com has some specialisations like computer applications, finance, travel and tourism, etc.
    In case of BBA, it is good for management and business studies. And it is also good for when you want to go for MBA after your degree.
    All the best.

    As a country, we move in hordes, this mentality has popularized BBA. I personally suggest a B.Com as it has better course structure, more focus on fundamentals and a wider career scope. BBA limits your choices after course completion to either an MBA or a Job. Even if you have to do an MBA, B.Com will give you advantage of strong accounting fundamentals over a BBA. Very few good jobs are available for both BBA B.Com. You can do a course along with B.Com to have an added advantage. You could maybe try a course in banking as it has many jobs.

    After completion of B.Com MBA (finance) will be a good option, if you are interested in financial institutions, taxation, accountancy. And, if you are interested in management, go for BBA. Higher studies is preferable, whichever may be your stream. All the best.

    Hello Pandey, 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

Hi.

If you apply with JEE Main scores, CU primarily considers your JEE Main percentile / AIR for admission.

12th marks are generally secondary in this case — mostly used for eligibility criteria (like minimum 50–60% in PCM or aggregate, depending on branch).

High JEE scores can also qualify you for JEE-based scholarships at CU.

Hi.

Yes — for admission to B.Tech/B.E. at Chandigarh University (CU), there is a requirement on your 12th‑class marks (along with other eligibility conditions), even if you're using your JEE Main score. 

What's required from 12th (or equivalent) at CU

You must have passed 10+2 (or equivalent) from a recognised board with Physics and Mathematics. 

For many B.Tech courses at CU, including those that accept JEE Main or CU's entrance (CUCET), the minimum aggregate requirement in 12th is around 50% (for general or merit‑based eligibility) as a baseline. 

Some sources show that for “full eligibility” (especially for certa

Hi.

If your 12th result has not been announced yet then 

Upload expected / provisional marks for now.

Final admission depends on the official 12th mark sheet after results are announced.

Colleges are used to this situation, especially for students applying in early cycles.

Hi.

AIIMS is primarily a medical college/university (undergraduate, postgraduate, super-speciality, etc.) + a hospital. 

Its courses begin after Class 12 — i.e. you must have completed 12th standard (10+2) to be eligible for entry into courses like MBBS, B.Sc., etc. 

The official course list of AIIMS includes medical and allied health degrees — not school-level classes (11th / 12th) as per its academic catalogue.

Thus, AIIMS itself does not run 11th and 12th standard as a school.
