Is MSc only for BSc students or can BCom students also apply?
Yes, BCom graduates can apply for MSc programs, but eligibility depends on the specific course and university requirements.
- Some MSc programs - especially in areas like Finance, Economics, or Business Analytics - accept students with a commerce background.
- For MSc courses in pure sciences, most universities require a BSc or a closely related degree.
- You may need to complete additional prerequisite courses or a bridge program if your undergraduate background doesn’t fully match the MSc requirements.
- Minimum marks (such as 50% aggregate) are commonly required and may vary by institution.
