Both groups take Economics, Commerce and Accountancy. 2702 adds Computer Applications. 2708 adds Business Mathematics and Statistics.
Pick 2702 if you want a computing paper with business. Pick 2708 if you want a stronger numerical commerce paper. Neither group is “the only CA group”.
If a college later asks for Mathematics specifically, read that college’s rule — Business Mathematics is not automatically the same as science Mathematics.
Quick contrast
- 2702 — digital business / BCA conversations are more natural, subject to college rules
- 2708 — finance, statistics and analytics conversations often mention the numerical paper
- Shared — Accountancy base for professional accountancy study after Class 12
