    Both courses are excellent; however, which one you choose is entirely dependent on your area of interest. B.Com and BBA have long been the top alternatives for students interested in pursuing a career in management or commerce. Bachelor of Commerce B.Com is one of the oldest courses, and it is still quite popular with students today. Bachelor of Business Administration BBA on the other hand, is one of those degrees that has seen a significant growth in demand in recent years. If you want to be a manager, BBA is the way to go, but if you want to be a businessperson, B.Com is the way to go. The following are the best colleges in India fo

    Both are good. If you are interested for a career in Finance, then go for B.Com. Otherwise if you are interested for entrepreneurship or administration or career in service sector or typically sales and marketing jobs, then go for BBA.

    I would advise you if you want to go for corporate in future, then choose BBA, if you want to make your career in the academics field, then go for a B.Com because ultimately you have to think what suits you more.

    Good day, If law interests you, you may study it for five years in a B.Com. LL.B. Programme after completing 12 in commerce, or you can look into other degrees like B.Com. BBA CA and many more. The two degrees work well for learning about trade. The comparison between B.Com and BBA is shown below. https://www.shiksha.com/bba/articles/bba-vs-bcom-blogId-88265.

    If you are willing to do an MBA, then BBA will be the better option as it will help you build a solid foundation and develop your basics which will help you in your MBA. But, in reality it hardly makes any difference whether you do B.Com or BBA. You won't be at a loss if you do B.Com. Only if you are interested to become a Chartered Accountant, CS or CFA then B.Com will be a better option for you. Even if you do BBA you can still pursue the above courses but then things will be comparatively tougher. BBA or Bachelor of Business Administration focuses on the studies related to management. The course equips the students with managerial s

    You should go for BBA as you want to do MBA and BBA is the 1st level of MBA, you should prefer BBA than B.Com. You would get to learn some basics of MBA in BBA.

    It is entirely up to you. First, you must ask yourself what you want. Higher education, money, or what? Then there's the question of what you're going to do after graduation. Furthermore, if you want to work in the corporate sector, a postgraduate degree is required, and courses like MBA/PGDM are in high demand. However, experience is required to do it from a good college. So think about where you want to go and then make the best decision. Due to the fact that opportunities have grown in the last four to five years, PGDM programmes are becoming increasingly popular today. One of the top business schools such as Iims, GIBS Bangalore, C

Absolutely! Having a humanities background is no barrier to pursuing Fine Arts at Chandigarh University.

The programme welcomes students from all streams, including humanities, as long as they meet the minimum requirement of 50% marks in their 12th exams. Many humanities students find the programme a natural extension of their academic interests, as the curriculum often connects with cultural, historical, and social themes. For example, a student who studied history might bring unique perspectives into courses like painting or applied arts.

The university values creativity and passion over specific subjects studied in school.
