    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

    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

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.
