About B.Com
A Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com) is a three-year undergraduate program for students who have completed Class 12 in any stream, building a foundation in accounting, finance, economics, and business law. Many universities offer both a general B.Com and a B.Com Honors track with a specific specialization stream.
Admission is primarily through CUET UG at central and several state/private universities, with many colleges also admitting directly on the basis of Class 12 marks. A few private universities like Symbiosis run their own entrance tests such as SET for B.Com admission. The program covers foundational accounting and business subjects across the first two years, followed by an elective specialization and applied coursework in the third.
