B.Com. Vocational

The UGC-sponsored programme B. Com. Computer Applications was started in 1999 and functioned under the Department of Commerce for five years, before turning out to be a self financing programme. The Department of Commerce (Self Financing) was subsequently established and presently has 250 students and 11 faculty members.

The department offers two undergraduate programmes:

• 1. B.Com Model II (Computer Applications)
• 2. B.Com Model III (Computer Applications)

The objective of these programmes is to develop, promote, and apply technological skills in business. The curriculum includes ‘Vocational Course’ (Skill Enhancement Course) that enables the students to enhance their practical skills and ability to pursue a vocation in their subject of specialization.

B.Com. Model III has no common course on second language and the common course on English language is only for the first two semesters, while Model II has English common courses for four semesters and two second language courses. The Model III programme has four additional complimentary papers in commerce. Along with core courses in Commerce, the syllabus consists of web site development tools, office management packages, computerized accounting packages, software for business and research, and database management systems for business as skill enhancement courses.

A well-equipped computer lab with 50 systems and a full-time internet connection is available for students to improve their computing skills. The students are supported by Career and Placement Cell, HRD Cell and Innovation and Entrepreneurship Development Centre (IEDC) for fine tuning their skills towards attainment of career goals.
