Hello Aspirant,

No, I don't think there is any similarity in the syllabus of BCA (Bachelors in Computer Application) and CS (Company Secretary).

Cs includes subjects like accounts, economics, tax laws, etc. its basically for commerce domain students. While BCA doesn't include anything related to commerce, it's aim is to teach students different coding languages, software and hardware of computer.

Hello Student

No there is no similarity between the courses of BCA and CS. What are the courses there opposite to each other. For BCA Bachelor of Computer applications duty is to do programming and solve problem relating  programming, make some software programming Either. But  CS's  duty is of all of the companies for minuting,monitoring the duties of the Managers, meeting, amalgamation of the companies and the profit making theory implementation policy making. There is no duty of computing any financial model related to company affairs by the company secretaries. So both are the courses definitely different from each other.

Hey,.

Bachelor of Commerce is a three year graduate course which is offered by different universities and colleges of India.

The minimum eligibility to puruse the degree ,

- a minimum of 50% marks in class 12 th from a recognized board or school.

So Yes you can pursue Bcom after your 12th even if you are from arts. Although you might find it difficult as you are not aware of the subjects taught in Bcom

Same applies with Company Secretary. There is no compulsion of having maths in 12th class to puruse the course.

Hope that helps.

Thank you.
