Hi,
B.Com course comprises of accounts subjects, which you had never come across in science groups.
But if you can able to take up the challenge and interested too, you can take up and get succeed.
In case of BBA, no such accounting knowledge required, as it will have mostly theory papers. Once you have the plan of doing MBA, you can go for BBA.
