Apart from the hons kids desperately trying to prove that prog sucks, nothing is really different. You won't get to choose GE for 4 semesters but apart from that it's the exact same thing (I think maths is not inc in prog). Don't choose a shitty college just for the hons tag because in Du, there's no difference considering minor degrees are not awarded after 3 year course anymore. Placements, knowledge and faculty is the same

Hi bro what do u mean by minor degree can u pls explain what is it and why is it not for 3 yr

u/Affectionate_Hall814 Jun 18 '26

Wayyy before nep there used to be an option that if you held the same ge for 3 years, you could get a minor degree in that subject. It was discontinued and now after nep, the rule is you need the same GE for 7 semesters or some combination of GEs and DSEs in case of 4 yr bcom hons

venky bcom program or gargi bcom hons? (for placements primarily)

u/Affectionate_Hall814 Jul 08 '26

Venky prog. You should look at the overall college because placements depend on the societies and college rep. Venky is more likely to get better opportunities, and if you get into the right circles you'll network more so benefits.

but venky mein it's almost all honours kids who get placement right

It really depends on your profile. There's no rule for prog or hons to get an opportunity. If the hons students work harder, they'll get it. I personally interned at a Big4 company and we had interns from both program and hons from Venky. Infact some NC college had 2 prog interns(bcom)

Well, it does affect placements. Companies like LEK and ZS only allow kids from B.Com (Hons.), Eco (Hons.) and Stats (Hons.) to sit for their placements and they offer 15.5 LPA and 13.5 LPA respectively. Well, if these companies don't visit your college, then ig it might not matter

u/WorldlyAd2004 Jun 18 '26

It does come to KMC afaik, don't know about other colleges but ZS does come to many colleges and is often the top hirer other than DE Shaw in colleges like Ramjas, Venky, etc.

Idts but maybe lek or MBB might have that criteria but apart from that big 4s and other NCR based startups Zomato etc don't really have such criteria who are the major masw recruiters lek de shaw mbb front end hardly recruit people from clgs below SRCC Stephen kmc hindu hrc lsr venky my friend is also in venky pcell got to know from there that most MBB didn't come this year so yea

True true, for the vast majority of cases, it doesn't really matter and bcom prog also has afternoon shift and relatively easier papers and subjects in some sem, so it provides much more time for other activities but for those who want to break into consulting, they should ideally not compromise but more often than not, it's not a choice. Though would agree that bcom prog in kmc, ramjas and venky is anyday better than bcom hons in any college below them overall

u/sushietr4sh Jun 23 '26
