New Delhi
IT MIGHT be the obvious choice of most students looking for a place in one of the Capital's premier colleges but with Wednesday being the last day for submission of forms at Delhi University, quite a few students had to turn away disappointed. Only, for those who are ready to look beyond the regular courses offered by Delhi University, there is still hope. Admissions to several courses offered by the Jamia Millia Islamia University are still open, with the last date for submission of forms being June 20. As far as business related courses are concerned, students can apply to the three year course of Bachelor of Business Studies which was launched in 1994 and covers business entrepreneurship and managerial skills. While the eligibility criteria for it is 50 per cent aggregate in any discipline, the course will cover topics like foreign trade practices and procedure, advertising, sales promotion and management. The University also offers B.Com (Hons.) based on the model course curriculum of UGC, with the eligibility being 50 per cent in Commerce. Another interesting course on offer is the Bachelor of International Business and Finance, a three-year programme focusing on international finance, marketing and computer application. Apart from undergraduate courses, the college also offers some post-graduate programmes. The University's Department of Commerce and Business Studies has launched a new post-graduate course in international business. Students can also pursue the M.Com course offered by it. Admission to all courses will be done through an entrance test and interview. While the last date of submitting forms is June 20 for Indian students, foreign students can apply till July 1. *** ADMISSION TIME may be tension time for students, but many colleges seem to be working hard to ensure that it generates enough revenue for them. While the University maintains that it cannot stop colleges - especially those not maintained by it - from not accepting centralised ones, there seems to be no upper limit on the pricing of forms either with there being no common pricing. So while the Hindu College is selling the sports form for Rs.20, at Hansraj a student can get these for Rs. 1. The college argues that since restructuring of the fees slab is yet to happen, these are one of the few ways that they can raise the revenue. As for students, considering they don't really have a choice, most of them are simply going with the flow, all in the hope of a seat of their choice. *** SHOWCASING THE latest happenings in the field of education will be a special education fair that takes place in the Capital between June 27 and 29 at Pragati Maidan. A common platform that will provide information about the various schemes undertaken by government bodies and NGOs to provide knowledge and skill-based education to less privileged children, the fair InfraEdu will look at various opportunities available in such fields. Some of the major players set to take part in the fair include the National Institute of Open Schooling, JIMS, Embassy of Japan, Central Hindi Directorate, Sri University and IIMT Pune among others. The conference will also see special concessions being held on options available after Class XII, with one of them giving students the opportunity to interact with HR heads of various companies and take advice on possible career avenues.
