Employability among Bachelor of Commerce graduates in India was ** percent in 2025, a significant decrease from 2023. Within the commerce stream, obtaining a B.Com degree is often the minimum requirement for getting a job. The economic slowdown in India has been a major factor in reduced hiring among companies. What is Bachelor of Commerce? An academic course such as Bachelor of Commerce degree that provides theoretical knowledge is different from courses in banking and finance, chartered accountancy and office management. For instance, in chartered accountancy, there is an ’article-ship' which prepares the graduate with hands-on learning experience under the guidance and mentorship of experienced professionals in a company. Although this section of graduates have numerous job opportunities right after graduation, landing a job is difficult for many even today without the practical skillset. In recent years, the number of women graduates with a bachelor's degree has increased in the country. Women undergraduates of commerce had an employability rate of over ** percent in 2019. Engineering students in demand The share of employable talent across the country was above ** percent for the last two years, an increase since 2014.
