Yes, it's possible to do an MCom after a BBA. Most universities allow students who have completed a BBA to pursue a Master of Commerce, as there is a significant overlap in subjects like accounting, finance, and economics. To be eligible, you will likely need to meet the university's minimum BBA score requirements, which are often around 50%, and potentially pass an entrance exam.
