A Bachelor of Commerce (B. Com) degree remains one of the most sought-after qualifications for students aiming to build careers in commerce, finance and business. With its comprehensive curriculum covering accounting, economics, business laws and taxation, a B. Com degree provides a robust platform for understanding the complexities of the business world.
But how well does a B. Com degree prepare students for the evolving demands of the modern job market?
For many entry-level positions in accounting, finance, taxation and business operations, a B. Com degree is often sufficient. Graduates can find roles as accountants, financial analysts, investment advisors or tax consultants, where their knowledge of finance and accounting is crucial. These roles offer a strong starting point and opportunities for career growth.
However, as the business landscape evolves, additional qualifications and practical experience become increasingly important. Knowledge of Tally, Goods & Services Tax (GST), financial planning, or corporate law can significantly boost a B. Com graduate’s employability. Furthermore, hands-on experience through internships or part-time jobs is invaluable in developing practical skills and industry knowledge.
Asian School of Business aligns its B. Com program with NEP 2020, offering students flexibility and additional certifications to enhance their career prospects. Certifications, competitive exam preparation, and corporate communication are embedded in the curriculum, ensuring graduates are well-prepared for the challenges of the business world. This holistic approach equips students with the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in a competitive job market.
