With admission season at its peak both private as well as government colleges across city are flooded with students wanting to get admission. Among different courses the bachelors in commerce (BCom) still remains the favourite choice of students. Under the centralised admission process, nearly 3,700 students have already applied for about 2,030 seats in various city colleges. Also the students do not need to fill up their preference for the colleges as the college can be decided by them at the time of counselling.

A visit to the different colleges reveals that while for most city students the first preference is BCom, students from Delhi, Jaipur, and Jammu are also trying to get admission in the said academic stream as city has a different quota for outsiders.

Talking to HT, Anoop, a student from Delhi said, "The cut offs in Delhi University are really high but I have just scored 89% in Class 12. I want to pursue BCom and Chandigarh was my second preference so I have come here to seek admission."

Among the city colleges, the most preferred college for BCom is SD College in Sector 32. Shrishti, another aspirant for BCom with 90 % in Class 12 said, "I am very keen on pursuing BCom, as I want to become a chartered accountant (CA)."
