What parallel courses can I pursue with B.Com (Hons) for better career prospects?

Hi, There are many options for courses which you can pursue along with B.Com such as CA/CWA/CS and few certification courses in SAP. You can also pursue other Erp packages/Share Market/excel courses. But before you go for any one of the above, I recommend you to check with your college whether they will permit you to pursue the course or not.

Hey, The answer to this question is very vast and it also depends upon your nature and the kind of studies you want to pursue. With B.Com, you can do professional courses like CA, CS or CWA. You can also do Diploma in various fields like e-commerce while continuing your B.Com. If you are good at statistics then you can pursue the course of actuary which is difficult but returns after the course are very high. If you want to go for public or banking services then you can prepare for UPSC or banking exams while continuing your B.Com. So the options are many and it's up to you which field you choose. And remember, if you are doing B.Com from a college where attendance is compulsory or high attendance is required, or you opted for B.Com in DU then first complete your B.Com then go for these courses. Though if you're comfortable and capable of managing both, then you can go for an additional course. Hope I was able to answer your question satisfactorily. Best of luck.

Have you heard that saying one size fits all? I’m sure you have. But this saying doesn’t apply in all aspects of life, not at least in the education field. So, to answer your question, you need to question yourself a little more! Well, in plain simple language I mean to say that you need to probe yourself a little deeper and ask what career plans you have post B.Com. And those questions will help you answer many other questions of your life, including the courses you should pursue now. Having said that, there’re a certain things you should get in the habit of, such as: reading national newspapers with at-least one business newspaper; try and read articles from HBR (Harvard Business Review - Ideas and Advice for Leaders), improving your written and spoken communication skills; learning MS Office, without ignoring MS Excel; participating in intra and inter college fests; and start networking on LinkedIn World’s Largest Professional Network. These sets of activities should help you groom for your next professional level.

As a student, after getting admission into B.Com, he/she can pursue Chartered Accountancy, Company Secretary, Cost Accountancy, Computer courses etc. along with the graduation. If the aspirant pursues any of the above course of choice and performs well, than one can definitely get on to the path of a rewarding career. Apart from this if a student wishes, he/she can also pursue ACCA. ACCA stands for the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants. It is a leading international accountancy body. The ACCA qualification is recognised and is treated in other countries as being equivalent to their local qualification. For further details kindly visit the below mentioned URL. <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.accaglobal.com/in/en/about-us.html" style='word-wrap:break-word;'>http://www.accaglobal.com/in/en/about-us.html</a> A student can also simultaneously go for the preparation of banking examination. He/She can also pursue a career into actuarial science, insurance to further strengthen the chances of getting a good job. Besides all, if the student has patience and can devote his/her time more towards studies, than he/she can also start the preparation of the State PSC or UPSC examination. It will surely raise the intellectual level of the child and the aspirant can make a successful career into bureaucracy. I hope this would suffice.
