Hi Aspirant,

This choice whether to go for B.Com or BBA totally depends on you.

I mean B.Com is a general course or ungraduate degree in Commerce comprising of subjects like Accounting,Banking,Ecomics, Management etc  whereas BBA is an undergraduate course in Business Administration.

Many people go for BBA especially when they aspire to go for a MBA or PGDM after it. But after B.Com you can go for any Master's course/degree in Commerce.

Although,you can go for an MBA after B.Com as well.BBA is a UG course that helps you understand the basics of Business Administration or Management which you are going to study meticulously in MBA.

But both course are for 3 years and both are undergraduate.So in all,this choice depends on what you want to persue after your UG course,if you want to go for MBA ,you can go for any B.Com or BBA(BBA recommended) but if you are still not so sure what you are to do after undergraduation,I recommend ,go for BCom.

Thank you.

Best of Luck.

Hope,it helps.
