The aspirant can choose B.Com, it will be the ideal course even though they recruit other graduates also. On completion of your degree you should try to write IBPS examination for nationalised banks. The private and multinational banks recruit directly; you can visit their websites and post your resume. You can contact the HR or hiring agents of these banks. The website link of IBPS is http://www.ibps.in/ .

The private banks like,
