Commerce courses take the cake in IDOL admissions

Even after a delayed admission season, 65,978 students enrolled under the various courses at the University of Mumbai’s Institute of Distance and Open Learning (IDOL). While the total number has gone down by over 10,000 as compared to 2016-17, demand for Commerce courses remained high even this year.

This year, 66.39% (43,804) of the total number of students admitted under IDOL have taken up courses in the Commerce faculty including BCom and MCom. While 18,310 students enrolled for BCom this year, a total of 25,495 students registered for MCom part I and II. “A large number of working students also prefer to take these courses to boost their careers,” said Dhaneshwar Harichandan, Director, IDOL.
