Courses offered

  • BBA suits stu­dents drawn to man­age­ment, mar­ket­ing and organ­i­sa­tional work.
  • B.Sc suits stu­dents who enjoyed sci­ence sub­jects in inter­me­di­ate. Ask which spe­cial­i­sa­tions are open to your inter­me­di­ate group.

Plan­ning a cam­pus visit

A visit tells you more than any brochure. Plan to spend time at four places.

Four-stop campus visit plan: classrooms and library, computer labs, faculty and support, and the career cell, with what to look at or ask at each stop
Four stops worth mak­ing on any degree col­lege visit.
  1. Class­rooms and library. Sit in a class­room if you can, look at the read­ing space and ask how dig­i­tal learn­ing sup­port is used.
  2. Com­puter labs. These mat­ter espe­cially for B.Com (Com­put­ers) and many B.Sc stu­dents. Ask how lab time is shared between batches.
  3. Fac­ulty and sup­port. Meet a lec­turer from the sub­ject you plan to study and ask how assess­ments and doubt-clear­ing ses­sions work.
  4. Career cell. Ask about intern­ships, recruit­ment dri­ves and the skill ses­sions on offer.

Ques­tions to ask before you enrol

  • Which uni­ver­sity is the col­lege affil­i­ated to, and which syl­labus does each course fol­low?
  • Which B.Sc spe­cial­i­sa­tions are open to my inter­me­di­ate group?
  • What is the full fee for each year, and what does it include?
  • How are inter­nal assess­ments con­ducted and com­mu­ni­cated?
  • How do stu­dents reg­is­ter for recruit­ment dri­ves and intern­ships?
  • What sup­port is avail­able for stu­dents who fall behind?

How to com­pare degree col­leges

  1. List the courses you are gen­uinely inter­ested in, not only the pop­u­lar ones.
  2. Short­list col­leges that offer those courses with the right eli­gi­bil­ity for your inter­me­di­ate group.
  3. Com­pare fac­ulty, facil­i­ties and stu­dent sup­port using what you see on vis­its.
  4. Com­pare total cost over the full course, includ­ing travel.
  5. Talk to cur­rent stu­dents where pos­si­ble, and weigh their expe­ri­ence along­side the col­lege's own descrip­tion.

Com­mon mis­takes

  • Choos­ing a course because friends chose it, with­out con­sid­er­ing the stu­den­t's inter­ests.
  • Not check­ing eli­gi­bil­ity for a par­tic­u­lar B.Sc spe­cial­i­sa­tion before apply­ing.
  • Judg­ing place­ments by gen­eral state­ments instead of ask­ing how the process works.
  • Com­par­ing only the first-year fee rather than the cost of the whole course.
  • Skip­ping the cam­pus visit.
