Commerce Without Mathematics

If you’ve chosen Commerce without Maths in Class 11 and 12, you’re focusing on the business, economics, and accounting world, but without the pressure of solving tough math problems like calculus or probability. This stream is great if you’re interested in finance, marketing, entrepreneurship, law, and management — but want to keep things more practical and theory-based rather than number-heavy.
