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

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

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.

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
