BBA vs B.Com — Which Is Better?

When students ask, “Is BBA better than B.Com?”, the honest answer is: it depends on what you want to do.

• If you are more comfortable with numbers, enjoy accounting, banking, or finance, or you may want to pursue commerce-related higher studies (like M.Com, CA, accounting), B.Com is a strong choice.
• If you are more interested in managing teams, working in businesses, learning leadership, marketing, human resources, and want a broader business view, a BBA may suit you better.

At DBU, both BBA and B.Com are designed to provide quality education with good faculty and a relevant curriculum so that you are ready for a job or higher studies.

So, there is no “one-size-fits-all” answer. The better course is the one that matches your interests and career goals.

BBA vs B.Com Salary & Job Scope

A common question is “What about BBA vs B.Com salary?” Many factors affect salary — skills, specialisation, company, and experience. But here is what you can expect after graduating from DBU:

• B.Com graduates often get jobs in accounting firms, banks, finance departments, and commerce-related roles. If they have strong accounting or finance knowledge, they can aim for roles like accountant, auditor, finance analyst, bank clerk, etc.
• BBA graduates may get opportunities in business management, marketing, sales, HR, operations, or even start their own enterprise. Their business-management skills may help them get roles like business analyst, management trainee, marketing executive, HR assistant, operations coordinator, etc.

Because DBU focuses on practical business knowledge, many BBA students become confident in interpersonal, decision-making, and business tasks.

For fresh graduates, salary may vary depending on job type — but with time and experience, both BBA and B.Com graduates can grow well.

BBA vs B.Com — Which Is Easier?

• If you enjoy numbers, accounting, and commerce theory, B.Com may feel easier because it follows a structured, academic syllabus with clear subjects.
• If you prefer practical learning, business sense, management, and less theory, the BBA might feel easier because it involves interactive learning, projects, management tasks, and business simulations.

Many students choose based on their strengths: if you like math and commerce, B.Com., if you like management and a business environment, BBA.

At DBU, both courses are reasonable and manageable if you put in consistent effort. Our faculty and teaching methods aim to help students understand well.
