Are you confused as to what you must do in your first year of BMS? Should you join any classes, Should you start studying for CAT, should you start an internship? Here are a few Tips that will help you get through the first year.

 

  1. No classes needed.

Subjects of first year are all basics. Since science and art students also join BMS, all the subjects are just what you have studied in 11th and 12th commerce so that they can catch up with commerce students. If you are bad at accounting, then you must join classes for it as you will have accounting every semester.

 

  1. Join any club in your college.

There will be many clubs and groups that works for college like NSS, NCC, drama club, debating club, Creativity club, etc. You can join any one or two of them as per your interest and learn many new things.

Seniors will guide you and tell you their experience with studies, classes etc. Talk to the heads of different departments and tell them you’re interested in working for the college.
