Who should choose it?

B.Com (Aviation) is a good fit if you:

• Are interested in management, finance, logistics, or customer service rather than becoming a pilot or aircraft engineer.

Difference from a regular B.Com

A B.Com (Aviation) degree does not qualify you to become a pilot or aircraft maintenance engineer. Those careers require separate aviation training and licensing. Instead, this degree prepares you for business, management, operations, finance, and administrative roles in the aviation industry.

Eligibility for B.Com (Aviation), the common requirements are:

• Educational qualification: Pass in 10+2 (Class 12) from a recognized board.

• Stream: Students from Commerce, Science, or Arts are usually eligible. Commerce is not always mandatory.

• Minimum marks: Typically 45–50% aggregate, though this varies by college. Some institutions may require higher marks.

• Age limit: Most colleges do not have a strict age limit, but individual institutions may have their own policies.

• Admission process: Many colleges admit students based on Class 12 marks, while some may conduct an entrance test or interview.
