Mathematics Mandatory for Admission to its B.Com course in Delhi University

 

Delhi University's decision to make mathematics mandatory for admission to its B.Com course has been slammed as "untimely" and "unfair" by a section of parents and students who want at least a two-year window before any such implementation.

Making amendments in its admission policy, DU had last month announced that it will be compulsory for admission seekers to B.Com (Hons) courses and Economics (Hons) to have studied maths in class XII.
For B.Com pass course if the student has not studied maths in class XII or doesn't include the subject's marks in the best-four percentage, he or she will attract a penalty of 2.5 %, DU had said.

The varsity had also said that Informatics Practices (IP) will be not be treated as an elective subject and students will face disadvantage of 2.5%

In separate letters to CBSE chairman, DU Vice Chancellor and HRD minister, these students, parents and teachers have sought their intervention into the issue.
