Hi

I am a 2026 IPM aspirant seeking guidance regarding my college options and future academic path.

I come from a science background in 12th and have cleared the CA Foundation in my drop year.

Now that most IPM admission results are out, and i havent cleared cutoff for any iim. While I am interested in pursuing ca further, I also want to pursue a degree from a reputed institution thats not only a backup option but also offers a strong academic environment, exposure, and growth opportunities during my formative years.I would appreciate guidance on:

1.The best college options still available at this stage. ( gov. Especially)

2.Suitable degree programs considering my pcm background and ca qualification.

3.How I should evaluate my available opportunities from a long-term career perspective.

4.Whether there are alternative pathways that I should consider.

I would be grateful for any advice. Thank you.

  1. Have you attempted CUET? Share the entrance exams you've written. Did you apply to Nalsar/Nirma/TAPMI with your Indore scores?
  2. BCom is the most suitable degree with CA, else, it becomes very hectic. Else, do online degrees like IIM-B's BBADBE or IIT-M's BSc.
  3. This is extremely broad -- use a decision matrix and weight it against your opportunity cost!

Thank you for helping out.

1.I have not appearedfor cuet this yeat since my domain subjects were pcm and in the drop year l had studied for the subjects of ca foundation.

I have applied to nirma and tapmi.

  1. I particularly dont want to do bcom. I am looking for a degree that can serve as a strong academic & professional backup alongside, preferably from a reputed institution that would provide meaningful career opportunities & employability.
  2. Also,will online degrees be considered well-recognized for placements or for pursuing masters abroad in the future.

4.Could you please guide on reaming bba options or other courses like bsc economics.

Would be grateful for your guidance, thank you

Yeah I did but when I looked through the du website it was mentioned that I need to have maths and English as my subjects for sscbs but it did not say anything about other domain subject and since I am a science student and want to pursue a commerce degree I am confused , I don't want physics and chemistry to ruin my scores so I was thinking that if I HAVE to choose another domain subject I'll jus choose information practices , is that a good idea.? I want as much backup options as possible!!!

but it did not say anything about other domain subject

It is mentioned here:

If you're scoring more in IP (and it's in your marksheet), then yes!

Hi sir , I would like to opt for du and srcc but the main problem is maths and I'm not good at it ik I could choose anyother

University with non maths 😭 but I like to go srcc or delhi for bba what to do and also can u tell me best bba clg in cuet and if I choose maths in cuet only then I can go to analytics or finance in bba is it true? I want to do bba in data science or business analytics what to do if I take maths ik my cuet score will be low

1

You need mathematics compulsorily in order to select bba courses in DU University, If you had maths in class 12th, you are eligible to take maths as a subject and apply for bba/bms courses. There's enough time still, you can still prepare for mathematics and score well, exam test basics and core concepts, questions are on the easier side.

Shaheed Sukhdev College Of Business Studies ( SSCBS) is the best college for BBA in du .

No, it should not

HI Sir, so I have chosen math+painting+political science+va+gat. I want to target BA eco hons and BBA FIA at sscbs, I did not want to take political science as a domain since chosing math + a domain would make me eligible for the courses im trying to target. But my while I was filling the form w/ my coaching counselor she told me that pol sci would be more helpful, would halp me target more courses and thatd be a good strategy to have backups. Later, I checked out pol sci past cuet papers- it has so many dates and chronology questions, whereas painting has pretty straight forward questions and v less syllabus comparitively. She said that the marks of best four will be taken(this rule implemented last year) but that I should have strong prep for pol sci & painting both. I feel like pol sci prep would just take up my energy and time, precious time that I could be using to give IPMAT and CUET mocks and strengthen my preparation. Should I unselect(if thats a word lol) pol science in the correction period??

1

Take it still, even if you don't score much in it- you still have other subjects, if you do score well- eureka!

Once you take it, you still have an option to not prepare for it. Selecting it won't hurt

Also do check eligibility for ba economics hons once , i believe you need 1 language+3domains for it, you might need pol science there!

Should I take eco hr. As my preferred subject or not?

To be eligible for BMS/BBA(FIA), you need English, Maths and GAT compulsorily (+ any one more domain).

To be eligible for BCom (Hons), you need English + Maths/Accounts compulsorily (+ two more domains).

If you want to be eligible for the most number of courses, you need:

  1. English
  2. Maths
  3. General Test

4 & 5. BST/Acc/Econ/any other subject in your 12th marksheet.

If you absolutely don't want anything to do with maths, take:

  1. English
  2. Accounts
  3. GAT (helps with the 2nd combination for the plain BCom + makes you eligible for journalism/media/fine-arts)

4 & 5. BST/Econ/any other subject in your 12th marksheet.

**Play with this link with different combinations: **https://www.afterboards.in/cuet-course-eligibility

Scoring good = depends on YOU and what subject YOU perform best in. Don't listen to me.

Plus, Econ has IED, Macro & Micro this year. I can happily say, "don't take this boht seekhna padega" but if you can do this better than Accountancy, then why not?

Yes, CUET does have a little easier BST as compared to Econ (at least as per majority of students) --> write PYPs and gauge.
