This is a very rare combination of courses. There are a lot of factors that can be considered when you make this decision: - Firstly there is no similarity in the subjects and sectors that are taught in the two courses. B.Sc IT is course that will cater to the Information technology domain whereas B.Com will open ventures in the field of commerce. Pursuing both courses will get you to study very different topics, which could prove to be very difficult to manage -Placements in the two domains will lie in very different positions that may not have any correlation. As the nature of the work and domain knowledge that you would be required to have will be very different -Higher studies again in the two domains will be different as after B.Sc IT, technical advancement will be a wise choice whereas after B.com MBA/M.com would be an ideal choice. So, as a suggestion, one should be clear on the thoughts of what domain you want to join as a career, as pursuing two courses that are not interrelated may complicate things at time of career planning.

As per the University Grants Commission (UGC) guidelines to Indian universities students should not be allowed to undertake two regular degrees at the same time. On January 19 2016, UGC said that its consultations regarding allowing students to pursue two degrees simultaneously, have not received a positive response so far. Therefore, legally, you cannot pursue B.Sc IT and B.Com simultaneously from same university or different universities. B.Com and B.Sc IT degree are not from same or similar field and both courses are designed for meeting different needs of enterprises. In case with commerce degree you want to join IT industry it will be better to do MBA IT or MCA after B.Com. You can also option for B.Sc IT and MBA to fulfill your career goal of techno- managerial roles in IT or ITES industry. Both path will help you prepare for Pre-Sales support, Account Management and Business Analysis in IT/ ITES industry.
