Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com)

When & Why to Choose B.Com: B.Com is a 3-year undergraduate degree focusing on commerce, accounting, finance, and business law. Students often opt for B.Com after 12th Commerce stream (though science students also sometimes switch to B.Com if interested in business/finance). You’d choose B.Com if you aim for careers in accounting, banking, finance, taxation or plan to pursue professional courses like CA (Chartered Accountancy), CMA, CS (Company Secretary). B.Com provides the academic foundation in economics and commerce needed for those fields. Subharti University offers B.Com (General) and possibly specialized versions. A B.Com from SVSU covers updated topics aligned with new business environments (like GST introduced in taxation syllabi). Students also pick B.Com as it keeps options open: one can go for an MBA after, or prepare for government jobs (many govt exams, e.g. Bank POs, require a degree and B.Com grads have an edge in dealing with numeric sections).

Potential Career Paths:
• Accounting and Audit: Many B.Com grads become accountants or join CA firms as articled assistants if pursuing CA. They handle bookkeeping, prepare financial statements【18†L41-L49】. With experience or further qualification, they become auditors, financial analysts, or finance managers.
• Banking and Finance: B.Com is a feeder for banking sector jobs (clerks, probationary officers). Also roles in insurance, investment firms, stockbroking, and financial services.
• Corporate Sector: Companies hire B.Com grads in their finance and accounts departments as Accounts Executive, Taxation Executive, Payroll executive, etc. The programme outcomes note that a graduate can work in interesting profiles like Accountant, Auditor, Consultant, Stock Broker, etc【18†L41-L49】.
• Higher Studies: Many pursue M.Com or MBA for advanced careers. M.Com can lead to teaching at college (with NET) or specialization in finance, while MBA opens management roles.
• Entrepreneurship: Understanding of commerce helps in running businesses (managing accounts, understanding markets).
• Government Jobs: B.Com graduates often appear for SSC, UPSC, or state PCS exams. The analytical skills and economics knowledge help in certain exams (e.g. accounts officer in government departments).

SVSU’s B.Com program emphasizes producing skilled, competent professionals for industry and government【18†L23-L31】【18†L41-L49】. They highlight persistence, determination, and ability to handle challenges as outcomes【18†L49-L57】, which are soft skills valued widely.
