College Principal Poonam Varma informed that Shaheed Sukhdev College of Business Studies was one of the very few colleges in India which can take pride in awarding terminal degrees at the under-graduate level. With more than 13,000 aspirants vying for a little over 200 seats in the Bachelor of Business Studies (BBS) and Bachelor of Financial and Investment Analysis (BFIA) in 2009, the college is a very sought after one, she added.
