What is B.com ?
Bachelor of Commerce (BCom) is an undergraduate degree course usually of three years duration. It is one of the most popular course choices among Commerce students after Class 12. The full form of BCom is Bachelor of Commerce (Baccalaureus Commercii in Latin). The course provides a strong foundation in commerce, accounting, finance, business law, and economics. It is offered by most universities in India. Some of the popular BCom specializations that students often pursue are BCom General, BCom Accounting and Finance, BCom Banking and Insurance, BCom Taxation, and BCom Computer Applications, among others.
A BCom course can be pursued as both a full-time or part-time program. Students can choose between BCom General or BCom (Honours). It is ideal for those with a strong interest in Commerce, Accounting, and Business. The course also suits students aiming for careers in business, finance, or interdisciplinary fields. After completing a BCom degree, candidates can pursue a Master of Commerce (MCom) or enroll in professional, job-oriented courses like CA, CS, CMA, or MBA.
BCom programmes are generally of three years duration. For part-time or distance learning modes, the duration may extend to four to five years. The pedagogy combines theoretical learning with practical applications, especially in subjects like accounting, taxation, and finance. To pass each semester, students must clear both theory and practical components, where applicable.
A BCom programme can be classified into two categories – BCom Honours and BCom General or Pass. BCom Honours focuses on a specific subject area like Accounting or Finance, with a curriculum that emphasizes the core subject along with chosen electives. It aims to develop theoretical, practical, and analytical skills in commerce and business.
On the other hand, the BCom General programme provides a broad understanding of various commerce subjects. The curriculum is comparatively less intensive but covers both theoretical and practical aspects of business and commerce.

The B.Com eligibility criteria are as follows:
- Candidates should pass Class 12 in the Commerce stream with a minimum aggregate of 50% to 60% from a recognised board. The required percentage may vary depending on the admission policy of the university or college.
