From 12th Pass to Career-Ready in 1.5 Years – Why Lernern’s BVoc AI & IT + BCA/BBA Beats the Traditional Degree Route

 

For most students who pass 12th, the default advice is:
“Take admission in a BA/BCom/BSc or BCA/BBA degree… and figure it out later.”

But here’s the reality:

  • Traditional degrees give you 3 years of theory and zero work experience.
  • After graduation, you’re still starting at ₹12k–₹15k/month, competing with freshers.
  • No defined career path – many end up in sales, call centres, or low-skill jobs.

If you want a faster, skill-led, job-ready career, there’s a better option — Lernern’s BVoc + BCA/BBA program.

The Problem with the Traditional Degree Path

Timeline: 3 years full-time study → job search → entry-level role (₹12k–₹15k)
Drawbacks:

  • No earning during college – fully dependent on parents.
  • No industry exposure – first job is a shock.
  • Often unrelated to your career goal.
  • Many graduates end up doing extra courses after graduation just to get basic job skills.

The Lernern Way – BVoc + BCA/BBA (Skill + Degree)

Timeline:

  • Months 0–6: Industry-focused skill training (AI, Business Ops, Retail, International Finance, etc.)
  • Months 6–18: Part-time study + work (₹15k–₹18k/month starting salary)
  • Months 18–36: Complete degree + grow in role; salary ₹25k–₹40k/month

Key Features:

  • Earn in 1.5 years instead of waiting 3 years
  • UGC-recognised degree with a specialisation that matches industry demand
  • Work experience before graduation – huge advantage over traditional grads
  • Specialisations in AI, Retail, Business Operations, International Finance, Hospitality, etc.
