Craze for commerce among Chennai college students
History and English Literature, arguably the best bet for students in Arts & Science colleges in Delhi, is the last resort, down South in Chennai. These subjects are invariably the third and a 'just to play it safe' option for many candidates; or sadly even a dumping ground for those who are not selected for Economics. The most sought after course in Chennai's prominent institutions - Loyola, Stella Maris, MOP Vaishnav and Madras Christian College, is Commerce. So coveted is a BCom degree that many colleges have not just started additional shifts and evening courses but even various strains of Commerce.
