One of the most popular programmes is the Bachelors of Commerce (BCom), for which admission is the basis of the Class 12 board exam scores. The aggregate percentages achieved by the students in the higher secondary board exam are compared to draw up the merit lists which are also based on the number of seats available. Students have to register for admission first. If seats remain vacant, colleges issue further merit lists of students in line for admission as per the vacancy.

Careers360 gathered data from third merit list data for some of the Mumbai colleges to get a sense of the minimum scores required for BCom admission, or the cut-off for BCom in 2021 admission.
