Key takeaways
- BCom topics must be relevant to commerce, business, or finance and aligned with your specialization.
- Choose a focused topic with adequate data sources—Amity rejects irrelevant or unoriginal topics at later stages.
- Project title is capped at 12 words and may be finalized only after writing.
Choosing the right Amity BCom project topic means picking an area relevant to commerce or business, aligned with your BCom specialization, focused enough for a 15,000–30,000 word study, and supported by adequate scholarly and industry data. Amity distinguishes between your topic—the field you investigate—and your title, which must not exceed 12 words and may only be finalized after writing because it must reflect actual content.
Amity's rules for BCom topic selection
- Relevant to business, commerce, accounting, finance, taxation, or technology-enabled business systems
- Related to one or more subjects in your core BCom program and specialization
- Clearly focused to facilitate in-depth study with adequate information sources
- Original and relevant—Amity rejects topics that lack originality or relevance at later stages
- Of personal and professional value to your career development
- Feasible within your timeline, budget, and data access constraints
Topic vs title: know the difference
Your topic is the broad area—e.g. digital payment adoption among Indian consumers. Your title is the specific, concise label—e.g. UPI Adoption and Spending Behavior Among Urban Millennials. Amity caps titles at 12 words. Draft a working title early, but refine it after your literature review and results are written.
How to match your topic to your BCom specialization
- Accounting & finance: financial performance analysis, ratio trends, working capital, investment appraisal, corporate governance
- Taxation: GST compliance awareness, tax planning behavior, indirect tax impact on SMEs, e-filing adoption
- Banking & insurance: customer satisfaction, digital banking adoption, loan recovery, insurance penetration
- Economics & general commerce: consumer behavior, inflation impact, e-commerce growth, MSME performance, export trends
Sample BCom project topic ideas by area
- A study on financial ratio analysis of listed companies in the FMCG sector
- Impact of GST on small and medium enterprises in [your state or city]
- Customer satisfaction and service quality in public sector banks

- E-commerce growth and its impact on traditional retail businesses
Quantitative vs qualitative BCom projects
Most Amity BCom projects use quantitative survey-based research with SPSS or Excel analysis—demographic profiles, Likert-scale responses, correlation, and regression. Qualitative projects using interviews or case studies are also acceptable if methodology is justified. Choose the approach that fits your question, not whichever seems easier.
Topics to avoid
- Overly broad topics impossible to cover in 15,000–30,000 words
- Topics with no accessible data or respondent pool
- Copied topics from online project sample websites—high plagiarism risk
- Topics unrelated to commerce or your BCom coursework
- Topics already studied identically by many Amity BCom batches—originality risk
