Top Commerce Colleges in India - India Today & Week-Hamsa Rankings 2012

Students having a flair for business activities may get an option to study commerce after completion of ten years of schooling as commerce is available as an educational stream just after passing the tenth standard. Although commerce also requires a strong knowledge of math fundamentals, this stream is bit easier to manage for the students having not so sound math base since other subjects are relatively easier than science stream subjects. Hence, students opting for commerce as an option in 10+2 may look for higher courses (undergraduate/postgraduate) in commerce at college or university level.In the last few years, commerce has emerged as the most sought after discipline and importance is revealed from the fact that commerce is valued more by the recruiters than the MBA without a technical degree.Reason for this change in attitude may be attributed to vast change in sullabus in the past decade due to inclusion of specializations such as computer applications, e-business, marketing, taxations and finance.
