Hello


Thank you for choosing Meracareerguide and writing to us. Commerce without maths? No problem if you are willing to pursue a career where maths is not necessary but it will be a problem if you pursue a career where maths is the basic subject.

Please spend a few minutes in taking up the psychometric assessment from this website and you will understand where you want to go in future. Let me ask you a few questions now. As you have taken commerce at school level, where do you want to be in future and in what position and in what industry? Do you like to do an MBA in future or at least a CA - Chartered accountancy? If you say yes for either of these two professions, then you are definitely required to study Maths until 12th level. If you say no to these questions, stay relaxed and choose the other career line.

Without a maths, you can pursue the following education and related careers. Mass media, Visual communications, History, Geography, Economics, Commerce (BCom), Hotel management, Fashion technology, Textile designing, Interior designing, BBA Bachelor of business administration, BBE Bachelor of business economics and Catering technology and management. Ask yourself if you are happy to pursue a career in either of the mentioned fields. If yes, stay away happily from maths all your life and you wont have it even at entrance test at any point of these careers.

However if you aspire to do a career in finance, accounts, business then maths is deemed as necessary and plays an integral role in each of these professions.For example, if you choose
Finance: Maths is an integral subject in finance. Your job is only playing with numbers, doing analysis of investment, making budgets, tallying budgets and suggesting budget requirements and control. Investment banks are the main source of finance careers and the entrance test to their job also contains maths, not just school level maths but also a higher level maths regarding investment theories, equations and calculations.

Accounts: This will most often lead students to pursue Chartered accountancy and this again is dealing with numbers. Your career will be most often into auditing where you will audit your customers or firms on their annual company balance sheet statements.

Business/ MBA: Getting into a BBA is relatively easy but not into an MBA. An MBA admission itself requires students to get high scores in CAT/ MAT/ XAT/ GMAT where maths is almost 50% of the entrance test paper. But this entrance test maths will only test your proficiency on maths that you studied until 12th level and so brushing up on the school level maths is highly essential. If you have not studied maths until 12th level, students may find it pretty hard to excel these competitive entrance tests with a high score. Although there are students who spend money on coaching class like going to TIME coaching centre and spend at least a year in being coached, to prepare them for the competitive exam.

Finally I advice you to ask yourself if you are comfortable in pursuing a career where maths is never necessary. If you are happy, then choose the careers accordingly. Hope this helps. Good luck.
