A Degree Is Just the Start — Not the Finish Line

In today’s competitive world, getting a B.Com or BBA degree is common.
Walk into any college and you’ll find hundreds of students doing just that.
But here’s the catch:

“Having a degree is no longer enough to guarantee a career.”

If you’re a student (or a parent), and you’re hoping that a traditional B.Com or BBA will automatically lead to a good job — this blog is for you.

Let’s break down why that’s no longer true in 2025 — and what you can do differently.

The Reality: Why Employers Don’t Want Just Degree Holders?

Here’s what most traditional commerce degrees offer:

  • Textbook knowledge
  • Theoretical exams
  • Classroom lectures
  • Old Case Studies
  • Placement support

Thousands of students graduate every year, but only a few stand out — because most degrees don’t prepare you for the real world.

So What’s Missing?

Employers today look for job-ready candidates, not just degree holders.
They ask:

  • Can you work with Excel, SAP, Tally, GST?
  • Can you communicate confidently in an interview?
  • Can you handle real-world business tools and situations?

If your course doesn’t cover these — you’ll end up doing extra courses later anyway.
