The answer sits in credit tables that most prospectuses print in an appendix, and few applicants read. Accounting, economics, statistics and business law appear in both syllabi. What separates the two awards is how many credits sit in the major discipline, at what course level those credits are earned, and what the final year demands. Applicants shortlisting B.Com colleges in Delhi and the wider National Capital Region need that structure in hand before comparing cut-offs, fee slabs or brochures.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_84 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/jgu.edu.in\/opjgublog\/b-com-hons\/#The_Difference_Is_Measured_in_Credits_Not_Subject_Names\" >The Difference Is Measured in Credits, Not Subject Names<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/jgu.edu.in\/opjgublog\/b-com-hons\/#What_the_Fourth_Year_Actually_Adds_to_the_Syllabus\" >What the Fourth Year Actually Adds to the Syllabus<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/jgu.edu.in\/opjgublog\/b-com-hons\/#How_Honours_Is_Read_Outside_India\" >How Honours Is Read Outside India<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/jgu.edu.in\/opjgublog\/b-com-hons\/#Career_Scope_What_the_Market_Actually_Pays\" >Career Scope: What the Market Actually Pays<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/jgu.edu.in\/opjgublog\/b-com-hons\/#The_Four-Year_Structure_at_Jindal_School_of_Banking_Finance\" >The Four-Year Structure at Jindal School of Banking &amp; Finance<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/jgu.edu.in\/opjgublog\/b-com-hons\/#Eligibility_Selection_and_Fee_Snapshot\" >Eligibility, Selection and Fee Snapshot<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/jgu.edu.in\/opjgublog\/b-com-hons\/#Electives_Certifications_and_Global_Exposure\" >Electives, Certifications and Global Exposure<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/jgu.edu.in\/opjgublog\/b-com-hons\/#Conclusion\" >Conclusion<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-9\" href=\"https:\/\/jgu.edu.in\/opjgublog\/b-com-hons\/#Frequently_Asked_Questions\" >Frequently Asked Questions<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-10\" href=\"https:\/\/jgu.edu.in\/opjgublog\/b-com-hons\/#Is_BCom_Hons_harder_than_BCom\" >Is B.Com.

A three-year degree is awarded on 120 credits. A four-year Honours degree requires 160. The split matters more than the total: the three-year route needs at least 60 credits in the major discipline and 24 in the minor stream, while the four-year Honours route lifts those floors to 80 and 32.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A second rule decides what the degree may be called. A single major requires at least half the total credits in that discipline, meaning 60 of 120 in the three-year path and 80 of 160 in the four-year path. Both awards can carry identical paper titles on a timetable.
