BAF students can do the same as bcom students but they have specialized skillsets in accounting and finance and hence have an edge. Though subjects of import export trade, commerce etc are neglected.

BBI students can take up banking jobs and fill the gaps or they can do a pg course in finance > banking and insurance and climb higher up the ladder.

BMM students end up taking masters in advertising/ journalism, mass communications or at a production house or journalists.

BMS students learn almost 80 % of what is taught in first year of MBA and the obvious choice is to take up mba or take a management trainee position in a reputed company. Exceptions are few of some who start their own ventures.

Hey Anjali,

I will share some very much interesting and important facts about it. In other courses theories is given more importance but, In BMM theories is just to score marks in real world it do not play any role. BMM is all about creativity and it provides you full freedom to choose your career. In other fields you have only one or two choice but in BMM you get myriads of options like advertising, PR, Journalism , Media buying and planning and so on. This is one of the best courses available for the students who think out of the blue.You can explore yourself and all the subjects are easy and interesting. Hope you got my point.

You can ask me whatever you have doubts, feel free to contact.
 
As I have already elucidated in depth knowledge on BMM. You can easily recognized the difference between B.Com, B.A.F, B.F.M, B.B.I, BMS, BBA. B.com is basically pursue if you wanted to go for CA and CS. BFM is best when you are exceptionally well with finance related topics and mind it, it has scope which none other courses offer.But, the only thing which matter is what you have to do and what you have to achieve in your life. If your aim is concise then you are inevitable.

So the latest trends are out.

The most number of students opt for BMS and the course is quite impactful. The best brains take admissions in this course.

The second best is BAF which is also the fastest growing course. Students are taking up BAF as an alternative to b.com. BAF has a lot of course syllabus borrowed from CA, CFP, CFA, ICWA

BBI has seen a backward trend in terms of growth. The course has been shut down at various colleges.

BFM is for students who have decided they want to go into financial markets for sure. After completing the course, most students opt for a course by BSE India.

BMM is the worst of the lot. It's the most practical course with very little focus on academics. The success of a BMM student completely lies on his own creativity and potential.
