The main objectives of the programme have been construed as:

To promote moderate order of professional skills among the students for enhancing not only their employability in job market (particularly to match the specialized job offerings like Accounting & Finance, Banking & Insurance, Management, and Marketing of small, medium and large enterprises, trade and commerce) but also self-employment. 

Accordingly, the existing syllabus for Bachelor Degree Programme has been thoroughly revised with an emphasis on the following:

1. Opportunity to develop skills either in a functional area of management or in a business sector of national and regional relevance. 

2. Mandatory pursuance of high priority papers in Financial Accounting, Cost Accounting, Indian Financial System, Financial Management and Entrepreneurship Development. 

3. Systematic arrangement of elective and elective Honours papers with alternative choice at the level of some individual paper (to accommodate individualized regional deficiency) for evenly distribution of efforts and stress.

4. Incorporation of the state-of-the-art concepts and skills relevant for the business students.

5. Synchronization with the linking programmes at both the ends so as to facilitate uniform and gradual upgradation of knowledge and skills and to mitigate the identified content redundancy.

The ultimate objective of this assignment is to expose the students of the department to the practical side of business for them to bridge theory to practice.
