Five courses put on hold by Vocational College

As the 4-yr UG course issue hasn’t settled, on Monday, College of Vocational Studies put hold on admission of vocational management courses and release cutoffs only for the courses in office management and tourism along with BCom (honours) and economics (honours).

Under the four-year undergraduate programme (FYUP), the college was allowed to launch Bachelor in Management Studies (BMS) in place of the vocational courses. Now the collage wants Delhi University to allow continuing with BMS under the three-year mode or introduce Bachelor in Business Studies (BBS) as it feels the other vocational courses have become irrelevant and cannot secure good jobs for the students.

Presently, staff association along with admission committee has put the admission on hold for 385 seats that covers human resource management, management of insurance, material management, marketing and management of retail business, and marketing and management of insurance.

According to Surender Sing, President of Staff Association, "DU should allow us to retain BMS or introduce BBS in its place in the interest of the students. We will run the courses under the three-year structure as we are against FYUP."
