Top B.Com College Admission Process

The admission process of all the B.Com colleges is simple. Either it is merit-based or entrance based. Most colleges take admission on a merit basis. To get merit-based admission, one should have good marks in their 12-board examination. Moreover, the candidates also need to wait for the cut-off marks that will be released by different colleges.

If they want to get into a college that conducts the admission process, they need to fill the application form of the exam and appear for the exam at a given date, and time. Once the candidates are shortlisted, they’ll be called for an interview. If they qualify in the interview, then their admission is final.

These are the two basic ways to get admission into top B.Com colleges of the country. If a candidate doesn’t meet the cut-off or doesn’t qualify the entrance exam, then they can also opt for admission through the management quota.
