Which course should I opt for MBA: B.Com or BBA?

Broadly speaking, there is not much difference between the curriculum of a B.Com and a BBA degree in the Indian context. Lets take a look at the subjects one studies in B.Com vis-a-vis BBA. I cannot really mention all the subjects of both the courses here because that will make the post too long. However, I'll brief you about what both the courses entail. So B. Com has a broader view than BBA and its focus is on the subjects like economics, accounts, finance and Indian policies. One could say that this course is more theoretical. On the other hand, BBA management course which focus more in marketing, HR, etc. It would have may be a couple of more seminars and practicals than B.Com. More importantly, to get admission into a reputed B-School (this is how MBA institutes are referred as), one needs to crack CAT/XAT/GMAT entrance examinations. And look at the paradox, these tests have nothing to do with ones knowledge/understanding of management. CAT, the most popular of these tests has three sections: Quantitative Aptitude (QA) Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning (DILR) Verbal and Reading Comprehension (VRC) Sadly, XAT and other tests have a similar pattern. They test your ability to solve questions of mathematics, reasoning, logic and English. Your degree comes into picture at a later stage i.e. only after clearing the preliminary entrance test and maintaining excellent academic records in which ever degree you choose.

There is not so much difference between in B.Com and BBA. You can join MBA after B.Com and BBA. In BBA, there are so many theoretical subjects but in B.Com, there are so many numerical subjects. So, if you want to go for finance, then you should go for B.Com.

If your liking is only finance then B.Com MBA is very good option. But as you have mentioned that you are interested in multiple management functions then it will be better to go for BBA MBA combination.
