The compulsory paper will change each year/semester. In the final year (the fifth and the sixth semesters), a student will choose any one of the three electives as his/her Major.

B.A. (MASS COMMUNICATION)

Being a professional course, Mass Communication (MC) follows a slightly different pattern. They do not choose three electives, but study couple of compulsory foundational courses (Environmental Studies and Communicative English) and the rest of the papers are ALL Mass Com papers. MC has four papers per semester.

B. COM (BACHELOR OF COMMERCE)

Being a professional and specialized course, B. Com too follows a different pattern. They do not choose three electives, but study couple of compulsory foundational courses (Environmental Studies and Communicative English) and the rest of the papers are ALL Commerce papers. In the third year, they have the option of specializing in any one of the four areas of Marketing Management, Human Resource Management, Accounting and Finance, and Entrepreneurship. However, not all four majors may be offered in a given year. The availability of the number of Majors depends on the expertise and qualification of the faculty in a given year.
