However, HR domain has less placement opportunities as compared to other domains.

If he likes it, college can invest in your idea without asking anything in return only that you return the invested money when your business grow.

Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) is an internationally recognized course that ensures a surefire way to enter Investment banking. Once you become a Charter holder, you have access to the international career network of the CFA Institute and can actively find yourself a suitable job in another country. If you are already working in a global firm, CFA Charter can also act as a springboard for you to get global postings within your firm.
So, how shall you go about it?
Complete and clear all the exams and work towards the 48 months work experience criteria then apply for a CFA Charter.
Once you are a Charter holder, access the CFA Institute website career resource JobLine to track and apply for jobs abroad.
Alternatively, network with your local CFA Chapter members and look for postings abroad.
Subscribe to newsletters and job alerts published by job portals in other countries (e.g: SEEK.com for Australia/NZ or Gulftalent.com for UAE jobs).
Network and publicize your CFA charter on LinkedIn and other career networking websites.
Don't fail to mention the CFA Charter in your resume and use it as a keyword to get the right hits in regular job portals other than job line.
If you are already working in an MNC, you can negotiate for a global posting after qualifying.
Even if you do not have a CFA Charter, if you have at least cleared the exams, you should mention that in your resume as well.

Talking about career and job prospects in India after B.Com (Hons), it isn't having much of opportunities as there is so much of competition out there. So yes, it can be said that B.Com (Hons) is not enough for good career building. The exception is that you studied from SRCC or Hansraj that can get you placed with a package of 10 LPA or so.
Hence, it is advisable to go for post graduation or some professional qualification in order to build a career.
Talking about the job prospects abroad, it carries hardly any opportunities out there.
See, I agree that skills do matter but in order to show skills, it is essential to get a job or get an interview call which isn't easy with B.Com (Hons) degree nowadays as there are so many others with BBA and Master's degrees. And yes, companies prefer management graduates over normal graduates.

The list for the best of BBA colleges goes as follows:
Shaheed Sukhdev College of Business Studies, Delhi University
Admission process: You need to pass the entrance test conducted by DU in May (tentatively), clear it and appear for GD/PI.
Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies, Mumbai
Take NMAT(UG). No interviews.
Christ University, Bangalore
Conducts its own entrance test and an interview.
Symbiosis, Pune
Only based on the entrance test on the lines of SNAP.
Apart from these four, there are big daddies as well;
IIM Indore, IPM
It's a 5-year integrated program in management. It's a completely different course for a career. You freeze your next 5 years and don't get a PGDM which an IIM provides after taking admission into one via CAT.
Be ready for a fiercely competitive test for IPM an equally grilling interview, I can say this from my personal experience.
Also, I would suggest not to look any further apart from these 5 programs as all other programs offering a BBA equivalent are essentially on the same page. Don't expect any decent placements apart from these 5 colleges, I, maybe, wrong about this, but it's purely my opinion.

IIM, Indore is one of the best campuses in India for MBA education. They offer 100% placement opportunity for students. The average salary is Rs 12 lakhs per annum and highest go beyond Rs 21 lakhs per annum in domestic. In international placement highest is Rs 45 lakhs so far in the campus.
This campus holds direct tie-up for placement with some well known and famous multinational companies like Infosys, TCS, Tech Mahindra, EMC2, THOMSON and Reuters, Walmart, Cisco, Bosch, Wipro, E&Y etc. This help student gets placed in international and national jobs. A large alumni network helps the current students in getting a job with excellent placement package.
So I hope the placement opportunities are very vast for students who study in this campus.

Well, CV doesn't have points, it always carries weight. How strong your CV is and how capable you are. The most important thing which will be considered during your placements is your CGPA. Companies will shortlist mostly on the basis of CGPA. There have been times when the list of shortlisted candidates for some of the best firms consisted top 10-20 rank holders of the college (literally). So, no matter what anyone says, CGPA shouldn't be neglected. Especially for high demand jobs like investment banking, CGPA is a deciding factor.
After CGPA, they will check for relevant internships. So, make sure that you do at least one or two internships in relevant fields in good companies so that you don't look like a novice. Then they see the past academic records and awards and honours including scholarships and fellowships.
So, the order of importance would be:
1. CGPA
2. Relevant internships in reputed companies
3. Awards and Honors
Don't think that extra-curricular activities matter a lot. It is good to have some to show that you are an interesting person. It may have a bit importance in marketing but not at all in finance. Having important position of responsibilities like the president of the student council or something may be helpful.
But don't neglect academics for that.
