Delhi varsity restructures B.Com course

By Our Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI, JUNE 19. As part of its attempt to make the academic content of its courses contemporary and in tune with changing social and academic needs, Delhi University's Academic Council has passed the recommendations of the Faculty of Commerce and Business with regard to the restructuring of the B.Com (Hons) course which will be introduced in the coming academic session in a new form. Changed to meet modern day challenges, Information Technology has been integrated into the course, which will require students to clear 22 papers during the three-year duration. While the first year will have seven papers, the second year will have eight papers.

Although the third year will once again have seven papers, students will choose four optional papers in two groups from the offered 10 groups, with one being from the social sciences. One of the major changes in the new course is the integrated approach, which now makes languages and social sciences compulsory/optional papers instead of being taken under the subsidiary category.

While students will initially do projects for experience-based learning, internships in business organisations have been planned as part of the long-term plan by the university.
