Student review [#19555] for Accounting and Finance
at University of Delhi

Bcom hons is a good program under University of Delhi. There are multiple subjects from different domains for students to choose. In this way, one can find the subject they are good in and can pursue it in their life further.

One thing that lags is exposure to new subjects. For example, SWOT and PESTEL analysis are good topics for one to know and is useful even in the future. But, these are from the 1900s. Now, different other methods have been made. The university should try to focus on that as well. Also, it should try to simulate critical thinking in the minds of the students. Only mugging up concepts is not going to do the students any good.

Last but not least, the university has a skill enhancement course that one has to select for two semesters. The way those skills are taught are not at all applicable to the real world. One still needs to do courses from Udemy and such sites to learn the real life application of those skills.

Thus, I would like to conclude by saying that even though the intention of the university behind providing these courses are quite good, there implementation might not be. Also, there are a lot of other factors that need to be added. For example, in personal finance and digital marketing they can invite the industry leaders as guest lecturers.

I hope in future they understand this. Anyway, I am someone who believes that you need practical experience to learn skills. To become a digital marketer, or to manage your finances, you need to step out of your comfort zone and start doing things in real life. No university education can ever be at par with this.
