According to the proposal forwarded by the Faculty of Commerce and Business, students of BCom (H), BCom (Prog), and BA (Prog) will study GST in different semesters of their respective courses
The Delhi University (DU) students will soon be studying the newly introduced Goods and Services Tax (GST) as part of their curriculum. The varsity’s Academic Council has already passed the proposal and is waiting for the approval of the Executive Council, which will convene its meeting on June 14.
According to the proposal forwarded by the Faculty of Commerce and Business, students of BCom (H), BCom (Prog), and BA (Prog) will study GST in different semesters of their respective courses.
“GST will be taught to BCom (H) students in their fifth semester and BCom (Prog) students will have a paper on GST and custom law in their fifth and sixth semesters,” a senior faculty member said.
“It will also be taught to students of BA (Prog) in their third and fourth semester,” he said, adding that it will be a compulsory paper for students having taxation as a subject in BA (Prog).
If the proposal is passed by the Executive Council, DU will become the first university to include GST in their curriculum. “It’s very important to teach the new tax system to our students. It will help them in their careers,” said Rajesh Jha, a professor at the Rajdhani College and an Executive Council member. He added that the proposal will most likely be cleared in the upcoming meeting.
According to experts, with the implementation of GST, the demand for both BCom (H) and BCom (Prog) graduates will rise. “One can’t go to a Chartered Accountant (CA) every time. So, companies will prefer hiring BCom graduates from next year. It’s important that they should be aware of the present tax slabs,” Jha said.
HUGE RUSH IN NORTH CAMPUS
The first day of admissions under the third cut-off list witnessed a huge rush in DU’s North Campus, with many students withdrawing their applications from various colleges after making it to their desired college or course. “I have withdrawn my application from the Hindu College after Lady Shri Ram College re-opened admission in Economic (H),” Shradhha Sharma said. SGTB Khalsa witnessed the highest number of admissions under the third list. “In some courses, including BSc (Physical Science) and Punjabi (H), not even a single student has enrolled as of now,” a senior college official said. For Punjabi, Khalsa has dropped the cut-off by a record 23.75 per cent, compared to the first list.
