- About the Programme
Traditional B.Com. degrees offer little more than accounting and taxation basics and therefore, do not offer students scope for being anything more than an accounts assistant or an accountant at best. Limited and narrowly focussed syllabus of traditional B.Com. programmes seriously limits job opportunities and career options for the students of commerce. But today’s competitive world demands a much more broad and intensive knowledge of market ready skills. Our B.Com. (Professional) programme is designed precisely to cater to such industry demands.
B.Com. (Professional) programme incorporates an eclectic combination of subjects and skill sets that transforms a commerce student into a business professional. Apart from imparting the essentials of traditional commerce programmes, this course teaches fundamentals of financial and marketing management, evaluation of debts and shares, as well as banking and insurance. The course tops it all by training students in effective use of communication skills as well as computers for managing business. The course also trains them in entrepreneurship skills. With this kind of curriculum, students are better poised to pursue multifarious opportunities that today’s globalized economy has to offer.
After having completed B.Com. (Professional) students can proceed to an MBA or an M.Com or an M.Com (Professional). Other professional post-graduate programme open to them are: CA, CS, CFA, etc.
Studying for a B.Com (Professional) Degree is a means to acquire a broader perspective of business issues and of sharpening managerial skills. A B.Com (Professional) Degree will give students a head start in building a highly successful career.
