Career and Placements:

B.Com:

The career prospect of a B.Com graduate will vary depending on whether a student has pursued a basic B.Com degree or an advanced degree such as B.Com with Tally Certification. Professionals who have pursued an advanced degree will have better career prospects in the industry.

B.Com graduates are hired by accounting firms, businesses who have an in-house accounting team, insurance companies, banks, financial companies, and top CA firms. They can be hired as Accountants, Operations Managers, Assistant Accountants, and Finance Analysts.

BBA :

A professional holding a BBA Honours degree will have better career scope than someone holding a general BBA degree. Professionals who have specialised in Finance, Marketing, HRM, IT, and Entrepreneurship have a better scope of gaining a lucrative job role.

BBA candidates who go on to pursue an MBA in the field of their choice are able to gain better career prospects with a higher salary. BBA professionals are hired as Office Executives, Sales Executives, Research Assistants, Assistant Managers, and Business Development Managers by leading businesses across the globe.

Salary:

B.Com:

Professionals holding a general B.Com degree are able to gain a starting annual package of INR 2.5 lakhs, whereas professionals holding an advanced degree make upwards of INR 3.5 lakhs per annum.

BBA :

Professionals holding a BBA degree can earn an annual package of INR 2 lakhs per annum, and can increase their package through higher studies, added certifications, and added work experience.

It is difficult to make an outright statement stating which one degree is better than the other as both degrees have their advantages and limitations. If you are confused about which branch of commerce you wish to pursue then you can take up B.Com to figure out your professional goals.

On the other hand, if you are sure about pursuing a career in business management then BBA is the right career choice for you. Either way, you will be able to pursue MBA on the postgraduate level irrespective of which programme you pursue at the undergraduate level. So let your career goals and aptitude decide which course is better for you in the long run.

All the best.
