Hello Aspirant,

Bcom Hons focuses more on cost accounting, organizational behaviour etc whereas Bcom Accounting and finance focuses on study of art of recording, classifying, arranging and various operations in the field of financial operations.

BCom in Accounting and Finance is a recent trend and it is better than Bcom Hons.

I hope it helps

Thank you
