In India, where non-sci- ence students are at a disadvantage when it comes to making career switches later in life, several students opt for the Com- merce stream at Class XI level as it is one stream that opens doors to a vast range of career options in banking, insurance, stock market, corporate, law and many other sectors. However, it is important to opt for subjects/fields that interest you the most and for which you have the right aptitude. This way you will never lose focus of the career goals that you started out with. It is a highly competitive field as the cut off for commerce courses remains very high. To get admission in one of the best colleges in commerce, you must have scored above 90 per cent, in fact, only a score of above 95 per cent marks is likely to secure a seat for you in the best col- leges. Last year SRCC, Delhi, has admit- ted students with 100 per cent score. Different courses that a commerce student can opt for are in the following two broad segments: Graduation Bachelor of Commerce: This degree is designed to equip students with a wide range of managerial skills, while at the same time building competence in general business principles, taking courses in accounting/finance, human resources, sta- tistics, marketing, economics, and informa- tion systems. Bachelor of Arts (Economics): This is a specialised academic degree in social sci- ences encompassing microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics, economic statistics, history of economic thought and political economy. Courses in mathematics and statistics as well as in accountancy are often required when offered as a business degree. Some universities offer specialisa- tions in a particular area of economics, such as applied economics, financial eco- nomics, mathematical economics and political economy. Bachelor of Business Administration: This is a bachelor’s degree in commerce and business administration. In most universi- ties, the degree is conferred upon a student after four years of full-time study in one or more areas of business concentrations. The BBA programme usually includes general business courses and advanced courses for specific concentrations. This degree is designed to give a broad knowledge of the functional areas of a com- pany, while also allowing for specialisation in a particular area. BBA programmes thus expose students to a variety of “core sub- jects” and allow them to specialise in a spe- cific academic area. It also develops a stu- dent’s practical managerial skills, communication skills and business deci- sion-making capability. Many pro- grammes, thus, incorporate training and practical experience, in the form of case projects, presentations, internships, indus- trial visits, and interaction with experts from the industry. Professional degrees These degrees can also be pursued along- side the bachelor’s degrees to give that extra edge to your resume. Chartered Accountancy: Chartered Accountancy is the core of all businesses and a dynamic, challenging and rewarding profession that continues to attract a large number of aspirants year after year. With the rapid growth in economy, careers in finance and accounts have gained tremendous pop- ularity. The study route for a student who is interested in pursuing a career in Char- tered Accountancy essentially involves three main stages — enrolling & appearing for the Common Proficiency Test (CPT), appearing for and clearing the Integrated Professional Competence Course (IPCC), and lastly, clearing the CA Final examina- tion. A student can pursue it alongside or after finishing graduation in any subject. Most students prefer graduating in eco- nomics, business studies, commerce etc. while getting CA qualification. Chartered Financial Analysis: CFAs pro- vide expertise in the area of management accounting as also a range of financial serv- ices, covering project planning, merchant banking services, portfolio management, venture capital, leasing, hire purchase, new issue management, credit rating and other allied areas. The CFA course is a PG pro- gramme conducted through postal tuition, and admission is on the basis of an entrance test. The Institute of Chartered Financial Analysts of India (ICFAI), Hyder- abad, that has branches in different cities, is the premier institution for this pro- gramme. Some business management institutes also offer this course. Cost and Works Accountancy: Cost and Works Accountants structure the business policy of a company and give a forecast for projects to be carried out based on the company’s financial history and current performance. Students have to pass the Foundation, Intermediate and Final levels to become a qualified Cost and Works Accountant. Students can either pursue this degree after Class XII or can finish their graduation and sit for the Intermedi- ate level directly. Company Secratary: A company secre- tary’s job profile today would typically encompass corporate restructuring, for- mulating corporate policies, managing public issues, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures within and outside India. Curiosity and an eagerness to under- stand, analyse and interpret complex and technical legal issues are requisites for pursuing this course. A general interest in economics, business and finance and excellent communication skills are added advantages. To be a Company Secratary a student can either join the course conducted by the Institute of Company Secretaries of India for CS after Class XII or after graduation. A can- didate who wants to pursue the Company Secretaryship course under the new scheme of examination has to complete the following three stages: Foundation Programme Executive Programme Professional Programme After qualifying for the professional exami- nation and on successful completion of training, a candidate can be an Associate Member of the ICSI and can use the letters ACS after his/her name i.e. Associate Com- pany Secretary. Other options: Those completing Plus II in commerce stream may also apply for professional courses like the five-year inte- grated law degree course, or the three or four-year hotel management degree course or Bachelor of Fine Arts in fine arts/ applied art or an undergraduate programme in design, fashion design or allied pro- grammes that are suitable for those with aptitude for drawing/ sketching. — The writer is Career Expert, Meritnation.com The numbers game for a commerce student begins with the cut-off percentage that hovers between 95 and 100 for good colleges.
