Both are of equal importance and are not comparable as such.

Kajal Kumari · Answer

Both BBA (Bachelor of Business Administration) and B.Com (Bachelor of Commerce) are good courses to pursue after 12th. The choice between the two depends on your interests and career goals. BBA is a professional undergraduate course that focuses on management and business administration. It covers subjects like accounting, marketing, human resource management, economics, business laws, and more. BBA is ideal for students who are interested in pursuing a career in management or entrepreneurship. On the other hand, B.Com is a more general undergraduate course that covers subjects like accounting, finance, economics, taxation, and business laws. It is ideal for students who are interested in pursuing a career in commerce, banking, finance, or accounting. If you are interested in pursuing a career in management, BBA is the better option. However, if you are interested in pursuing a career in commerce, accounting, or finance, B.Com is a better option. Ultimately, the decision should be based on your interests, skills, and career goals.

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 skills, marketing knowledge and related expertise required to get a job in some of the leading organizations. If I talk about B.Com. Or Bachelors of Commerce, it opens the opportunity for the students to get a hold on accountancy, banking, retailing, taxation, media communication etc. Both courses are good in their own ways. You can go through the above mention points and think about the area of interest. Analyze the field that will bring out the best in you. Below are some of the best Private Universities:- BITS Pilani, ICT Mumbai, Mumbai. VIT Vellore, Vellore. Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology - [TIET], Patiala. ITER Bhubaneswar, Bhubaneswar. LDCE Ahmedabad - LD College of Engineering. Geeta University, Panipat MSRIT Bangalore - Ramaiah Institute of Technology. BMSCE Bangalore - BMS College of Engineering.

Hi. Ankit. There is nothing better than a better course. First, understand the fundamental distinction. B.Com is an abbreviation for Bachelor of Commerce, which includes subjects such as Corporate Accounting, Auditing, Finance, Micro & Macro Economics, Company Law, and so on. It is more concerned with finance, law, and accounting. While BBA stands for Bachelor of Business Administration, it is more focused on the management side of the business and includes courses such as Principles of Management, Business organisation, Marketing Management & Research, Human Resource, and so on. BBA-MBA or PGDM is best course you can choose, if you want to make great management career. Looking for BBA college I would suggest I. e GIBS Bangalore. Graduates from GIBS Bangalore can get jobs as executive trainee, management trainee etc. In top MNC companies. GIBS offers excellent placement services and has a proven track record. They provide full support for job placements and internships. Students benefit greatly from the global immersion programme in terms of gaining top industrial experience. During the placement drive of 2022, the highest CTC stood at INR 15.50 LPA and the average CTC stood at INR 7.4 LPA and the median CTC stood at INR 7.2 LPA. Again salary package differs with company roles and performance of students.

Beyond just education, the BBA degree has a lot of scope when it comes to careers. This is one of the few degrees where students can get high-paying jobs in management and administration right after graduation. The country's economy is growing, and many new companies are coming up. Hope it helps.

Students having their own choice / preference of subject. B.Com. Is the good choice of subject if you are having strong control over CORE subjects related to specializations like Accounting, Banking And Financial Services, Economics, Finance, Financial Markets etc. Similarly BBA is also a good choice having all the above mentioned specializations. But here you will earn more proficiency in terms of management from Day 1. There are many BBA Specializations available but I personally would refer you one of advanced course in BBA I. e BBA (Hons. ). Being alumni let me share that, BBA (Hons. ). Course curriculum is recently being re-framed by Lovely Professional University keeping in view the advanced Industry requirement. Some of upgraded features of this course is mentioned as offered by LPU. 1) Professional/Industry certifications 2) 3 to 5 Courses to be taught in online/blended mode by foreign faculty or senior Industry experts 3) Startup/Entrepreneurial Venture Seed Fund: SEED money upto Rs. 3 Lacs may be provided, based on competition, to a student/group of students to start a business. 4) International Immersion : 05 - 07 days after 2nd year to Singapore/Dubai or any other similar country. 5) Field visits may be planned to different companies, events etc. 7) Technology/Software oriented Courses (core and electives) like Office Automation Tools, Workshop on Data Management, Business Analytics, Data Visualisation 8) Well structured short term, intense training sessions designed to prepare students to participate in Business Competitions. LPU do offer B.Com. (Hons. ). Course too with all the above mentioned unique features of BBA (Hons. ) Last Year Placement record of both BBA (Hons. ). & B.Com. Hons. Course in LPU (Till Date in-spite of Pandemic Situation): the highest Package offered was 19.25 LPA (Deshaw India Pvt. Ltd. ) in last year. Now it's completely upto you about the selection of course at the end. In my opinion you must select the course based on your future career preference either core Management or master in commence domain. Hope this helps !

While BBA degree is for those who want to make a career in management and entrepreneurship, the B.Com degree is for those who want to pursue career in finance, taxation or accountancy fields. Both BBA and B.Com are good options for students for an excellent career growth. The university or institution also matters while getting a job after an MBA. I suggest you for LPU to pursue an MBA programme.

Dear Aspirant, in my opinion all the specializations are having their own merits. Best specialisation is subjective thing precisely depends upon students because all the students having their own choice / preference of subject. B.Com. Is the good choice of subject if you are having strong control over CORE subjects related to specializations like Accounting, Banking And Financial Services, Economics, Finance, Financial Markets etc. Similarly BBA is also a good choice having all the above mentioned specializations.

Both BBA and B.Com offer similar career Opportunity. If students are willing to do an MBA, then BBA might be the better option. But if the students interested to become a CA CS or CFA then B.Com will be a better option for students. BBA is a 3 year undergraduate degree level course. I have recently completed BBA from LPU and I would like to state that it has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I have learnt a lot throughout this journey and whatever I have achieved in my academic as well as professional life, I owe it all to LPU. On that note, I would like to tell you about all the features that contributed to quality education and above all, an impeccable college life. The Business School of LPU is accredited from (ACBSP) Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs from the USA ensuring quality education and industry experienced faculty members, studying in LPU will get a degree accredited from a body of USA. LPU has recently Marked among Top 50 Best Management Institutes by NIRF ranking 2020. Also, LPU has won National Employability Award 2020. The scope of this particular courses is growing day by day. You will have a great job opportunity in the industrial world. In the management sector in the small span of time you can reach at the top designation. This course will give you an exposure in management field. After completing BBA you can go for MBA. MBA will provide highly challenging job for you. Different specializations are there in MBA. If you are looking for a career in marketing, then MBA in Marketing is a good option, Because now a days mostly companies recruited students for marketing jobs. They have Industrial Tie-ups with various reputed companies that give students the opportunity for pursuing live projects/ professional certifications. Entrepreneurship projects are an essential piece of the educational programs and help students build up themselves as fruitful business individuals. Also, in my view, I think you should not worry about the placements. If you work hard in the course and learn as much as you can, any company visiting the campus would be happy to hire you. However, you must not neglect polishing your communication skills as well, because companies will check that in their interviews. Around 550+ companies visit every year for such activities and campus-recruitment of students from LPU. Companies likes Colgate Palmolive, Hindustan Unilever, Godrej Consumer, SAP Labs, Asian Paints, Bajaj Allianz etc.
