Actually we were a group of 4 friends, wanted to join the same College for the degree, one of my friend as the College was near to him already got an admission, so without much expectation we joined the College. We were having a good percentage in pu so we had just sn interview with the principal and our admission was done on the same day, as our accountancy marks were good they suggested to choose b. com financial accounting and we chose the same. When the academic year started all 4 friends were put in 4 different sections of b. com. we were totally disappointed. There was another course for b. com ie travel and tourism (Vocational course), as it had only one section we each paid 1000 rupee as fine and changed the course. We won't regret our decision as there are numerous students who takes b. com nowadays it's better to have a specialisation.
