In classes, 9th and 10th, many students are confused regarding what they have to study if they take the commerce stream in class 11. In this article, I am going to tell you in detail about the subjects in the commerce stream.
Topics Discussed
Subjects in Commerce
There are mainly 5 subjects in classes 11 and 12 if you choose commerce after 10th. Here are they:
- Accountancy
- Business studies
- Economics
- English
- Physical Education/Any additional Subject
Accountancy
Accountancy is considered to be the core subject of commerce. This is also a very practical subject.
Talking about its hardness entirely depends on the student. I had an interest in Accountancy so it was quite an easy subject for me but many students find it very hard as it demands regular practice.
Think of how a shopkeeper maintains a book in which he writes about to whom he has sold on credit and to whom he has to pay. Accountancy is that but it happens for companies.
Business Studies
Many students think that if they study business studies they learn how to do business but that is not the case.
In business studies, you will learn about how business is happening in India and the world.
In class 11 business studies, you will learn about how businesses happened in India in the past, types of business organization, internal trade, international trade, social responsibility of businesses, formation of a company, etc.
In class 12, you will learn about the functions performed by management in business. These functions are planning, organizing, staffing, directing, and controlling. Apart from this, financial management, marketing, and consumer protection are also there.
Economics
You must have studied Economics in previous classes but just remember one thing, class 11 and 12 Economics are nothing like what you have studied in previous classes.
In 11th, you will have microeconomics and statistics whereas in class 12th, you will study macroeconomics and indian economic development.
You can do well in Economics in only two ways. The first is to understand it practically and get interested in it. The second is to just rote it. If you are planning to do Economics the second way, I’d recommend you not to take Economics.
English
English is a subject we all have been studying since the day we started going to school. Class 11 and 12 English is no different.

Physical Education
In classes 11 and 12, Physical education comes with theory. It is a very easy and enjoyable subject. There is no burden of getting marks in physical education as this is an additional subject.
Conclusion
To conclude, it could be said that if you are interested in the subjects that I mentioned above, taking commerce will be a very good decision then.
