Comparison Between BCOM and BBA
BBA is a much better degree than B.COM, specially if you want to run your own business then it will be better for you to go for BBA instead of B.Com. B.COM is mostly related with accounting while BBA is a broader degree which develops more business related skills in students.  If you want to go for MBA then again BBA should be your first choice. But BBA is a relatively costly degree than B.COM and its duration is also double than normal B.COM. So we can not give a final decision in this regard as it depends upon situation.
