INTRODUCTION
The Bachelor of Commerce (Honours) is an undergraduate degree program, designed
to cover broader spectrum of commerce with core modules from accountancy,
taxation and finance. The course focuses on inculcating acumen for accountancy. The
objective of the course is to equip the students with domain knowledge of commerce
and accounting principles applied to contemporary business practices. The curriculum
of the B. Com. (Honours) degree course is rigorous and progressive, and prepares its
graduates for careers in accountancy and finance as well as for other professional
roles such as economic, business and security analysts.
The program spans over a period of three years comprising of six semesters. The
program of B.Com(H) has an edge over other traditional undergraduate courses. The
course structure is designed in such a way that along with proficiency in Accountancy
the student also develops understanding in the area of finance, economics and
management. It provides wider career options in financial sector other than
accountancy and auditing. The course focuses to train students with the specialized
skill sets best suited to deliver in today's globalized business.
The uniquely designed pedagogy of entire three years teaching curriculum imbibes
the contemporary traits and audit oriented projects on specialized streams of
commerce. During the three years of the program, students are required to take-up
live problems related to accounting and finance, laws and policies concerning
commerce, business management, financial decision making etc.
PROJECT REPORT:

problem/topic will be assigned by the School of Management, BBD University under
the supervision of a core faculty member of the department. The research should be

The students are also required to make a brief presentation of the report. The
evaluation will be based on the report writing, presentation and viva-voice.

to select two electives in the sixth semester of their course. Elective 1, known as
