Greetings Sir! I have passed class 12th with science stream, can I opt for B. Com in graduation Will the transition be okay since I will be new to field of commerce. I have a lot of interest in finance sector that's why I am willing to take B. Com in graduation

Ans: Dear Hitesh, I understand that you are not happy with your current course of career after completion of B Arch degree and want to pursue CA or MBA. In case you have been a B Com Graduate, it would have been easier for you to pursue MBA directly after the completion of your graduation as you have Commerce background in your 12th standard. In your current scenario as well, you can opt for pursuing MBA with a specialization of your choice since you have not mentioned which stream you want to get into. In case you want to pursue MBA with specialization in Marketing or Finance, you should opt for a full time course from a reputed and registered institution which will get you a good job opportunity in marketing or commercial fields post course completion. But in case you are planning to go for a desk job or accounts related positions, you should pursue CA from a distinguished college or university. You should keep it in mind that pursuing CA is a time-consuming process and it can take anything between 3-5 years minimum to complete a Chartered Accountant course but upon successful completion, you will have a bright career opportunity in the corporate world in finance, accounts, NBFCs and banks.

Ans: Both are interesting programs. B.Com helps you develop a more well rounded accounting & commerce learning curve where as while BBA has certain elements of accounting it will help you more rounded in business & it's administration. Both do open up a variety of opportunities that said within BBA you can specialise in your second year in Marketing, Finance, HR(select colleges) which gives you an edge in the market too.
