Punjab Commerce and Management Association spells Options better than B.Com after 10+2 for Commerce Students



Students are crazy for admissions in the B.Com -1 after 10+2 because of the lack of knowledge and counseling for better options other than B.Com that's why they are not looking at other alternatives for their better career. There are number of other courses available in commerce, Management and arts streams which are not only 100% better than B.Com but also attract the employers of Industry and services sector for recruitment in various organizations. Educational Institutions at the school level must organize regular Career guidance programmes in their schools to guide students to opt for these courses to fulfill the needs of Industry. Punjab Commerce and Management Association have expressed concerns over the pathetic situation of the students who are not able to get admissions in colleges of their choice and now feeling frustrated.
